Hey Rich, thanks for doing Julie Lopata's and my Roadmaps to Maryland! She is my friend that I got into EN and am helping. We have the same races.

First, wanted to let you know that Julie's TSR screencast shows Page Not Found, if you could plz fix that if possible?

Second, she forgot to mention she HAS done a number of 70.3 races in past years. Plus she did IM Louisville in 2013, however DNF'd on the bike at mile 106 due to a back issue. Ended out being related to the bike frame, and she has since gotten a Trek Speed Concept, and Garmin Vector. OK, the question: She is itching to do intermediate vs. beginner IM plan. Her bike and swim are solid. Run is her only issue. Vdot is 28 right now. So, with that update on her experience doing races already, and swim/bike ok, what are your thoughts? If you a firm on Beginner, no worries.

Third/Last, I meant to put in in the notes, but we are BOTH on vacation to Mexico with kids for 10 days 727-8/5 (all week "IM 13" and first three days of "14"). I know this is a huge hole. But gotta make it work somehow. We are cranking away as solid as possible up to then. Thoughts?

Thanks,

Greg and Julie

Her bike and swim are solid. Run is her only issue. Vdot is 28 right now. So, with that update on her experience doing races already, and swim/bike ok, what are your thoughts? If you a firm on Beginner, no worries. She can do the Intermediate plan but may find she needs to be smart and turn down the run. 

    Third/Last, I meant to put in in the notes, but we are BOTH on vacation to Mexico with kids for 10 days 727-8/5 (all week "IM 13" and first three days of "14"). I know this is a huge hole. But gotta make it work somehow. We are cranking away as solid as possible up to then. Thoughts? Please give this wiki post a read. Short answer is that you turn this trip into a run camp, if possible, and go a big heavy on the bike on the front end. Good luck!

    Thanks,

    Greg and Julie
