Mary 2015 Enroute to IMFL!
I've not signed up yet for the July HIM originally placed on my race season plan- would it be best to forgo this HIM and race Olympic instead (they have an Olympic Distance - this is my home town, so my thought was long training day in considering the HIM distance)?
The East Tawas HIM on 70.3 I'm set on, and have signed up for the Lake Carlyle Olympic in May. Just trying to figure the most bang for my training this summer. I see that I'm stacking multiple plans, want to be sure I can jump into them appropriately.
Appreciate your input as I decide on which way to go

The HIM in July is good timing for you, as it essentially splits your season into to two halves:
So no changes needed, the schedule you have is good
*how to manage plan with a vacation scheduled? March 3-12! Will be running and maybe some OWS ( hiking, beach walking, exploring) but no cycling.
*I AM READY TO GO-lets DO this
Sure, we can have that conversation at some point. However, one of the dynamics we've seen over the years is that people entered the team with perspective of what "hard" is, usually framing everything through volume. That's not how we work here. All of our plans include quite a bit of intensity so it's best to start you on the conservative side until you've learned our perspective on training and work.
Which is to say that our Beginner may not be as Beginner-ey as you might be expecting
In my experience, becoming injured through training is largely the result of a decision(s) to (1) not listen to your body and (2) follow a training plan into a brick wall. So if you feel something in the plan is on the edge of injuring you, circle back to us sooner rather than later so we can have a conversation with you about adjusting things.
