2015 Pre-Planning

Hard to believe I'm even thinking about 2015 when I still have B2B in 5 weeks! The fun never ends. I'm registered for IMLP on 7/26/15. That is going to be my A race. I think Quassy 70.3 was the suggested warm up race for IMLP. 2015 Quassy is 6/7/15. I would also like to attend the EN IMLP camp, which starts 4 days after Quassy. Is it still suggested to race Quassy when the EN IMLP camp is right on its heels? I haven't submitted a formal plan yet, just starting to think about it. Thanks.

Gerry, are you sure about the date of Quassy '15? I did a quick search and couldn't find much, but the race has always been about 5/30-6/1 timeframe.

The Challenge website (link below) states the race is June 7, 2017.

Thanks for catching that, Gerry!

The date has changed. Thanks for confirming that I'm not completely off base Kerrie (possible at this stage of my IM training).

@Gerry / @Kerrie, total bummer they changed the race date as we are already locked down for the 2015 lake placid camp on for 6/11 to 6/14. I see you having two options:

(1) Do both, but zero training for Monday-Wednesday, or modify your LP training to be 112/6 on Friday, then 56/Swim on Sat, then Long run on Sat (so you miss out on loop two on Sat).

(2) Pick a new early season race that isn't Rev3 such as May 16th HarryMan in NY (http://bit.ly/1wvjnjt) or the May 30th ToughMan Half in IN (http://bit.ly/1wvjPyc) so you can do the camp.

(3) Sign up for a half AFTER the camp, like these two which are the week after (21st) -- Syracuse 70.3 (http://bit.ly/1wvjY4F) or Tremblant 70.3 (http://bit.ly/1wvkbVp)...or wait one more weekend until TupperLake Tinman on the 27th (http://tupperlaketinman.com/).

Hope that helps!!!
