Coach Rich-

I need some advice on my season race plan.  My goal for this coming year is to focus on gaining as much power and speed as possible before my next IM.  However, I really like IMs so I hate to not race them (I'm not getting any younger).  

I'm racing IMFL next year and was planning on doing two 70.3's...one in April and another in late June.  Keeping in mind that I want to be as fast as I can for IMFL, is this a good plan?  Would doing say IMTX in May rather than the 70.3's be a bad idea?

Not that it will affect your response, but my current VDOT is 49 and my FTP is 270 (3.56w/kg).

Thanks,

Chris

    To set expectations, I wouldn't have you start the IM plan until about mid august for IMFL. So racing shorter stuff before the would be the best path for getting faster. So a mayish and July halfs would be good. April and June works too. IMTx would be counter to your stated goal however
