Hi Patrick-

I have my first race on Sunday. It's an olympic distance here in MN. I did a 80 ride yesterday (Monday) and a 55 minute run today (Tuesday). I'm planning on swimming tomorrow and Friday. How else should I tweak my workouts before I race?

Thanks.

    Kyle - can you tell me what current plan you are in? Ability level and week would also be good. If you are the midst of another plan to meet generally don't taper very much for a short course race other than the last two days. Let me know!

    Here's your updated Season Plan, as promised. This is where you'll return to post all your "coach" questions as responses; I'll see them and reply. This first post is my best outline of how to proceed with your races, but you can ask any / all questions you want. So post away, know that I reply here usually M/W/F each week.

    Coach Notes

    Kyle, what's up man!?!!? Let's have you do the RDP right now until we feel comfortable with your baseline. Then you can bounce to the INT OS Plan before a quick move to the Half (best option for Alcatraz). We exit that with a break before entering the FULL plan!!!

    You are going to have an epic year! Let me know what you think and let's get to work!
