Hi Rich - I was originally supposed to race American Zofingen in May but because I recently moved to Boulder, I'll no longer  be doing this race and as of now I'm only racing IMMT.  Does this change my season roadmap at all?

Best,

Ben,

Here's your SP:

Do this:

• Stay in the GF plan through Wk7
• Then load up the IM plan to end on 8/17, so that you start the plan in Wk7 on 5/12

Good luck!

Great thank you Rich.  It looks like I'm late  to the swim training as i've continued through with the OS, should i just do a week of swim training or skip that and go to the get faster plan?

Why did you continue with the OS vs following the SP that I laid out for you?

Load up the GF plan, if you haven't done so already, and check out the swim, see if they seem to be a good fit for you or not. If no, then maybe check out the swim workouts in the SC plan and do those in the GF plan vs the GF scheduled swims.

Because I just moved to Boulder 3 weeks ago, I didn't have my swim gear or a place to swim just yet so I continued with the O/S plan as that was most accessible for me.

Ok, that makes sense. Thanks for the explanation.

Hi Coach Rich - Happy Holidays! I need to update my season roadmap. I had been planning on doing Ironman Texas, but I will no longer be doing it. As of now, my schedule is the following:

Ironman Boulder 70.3
Ironman Lake Placid

Thank you!
