Mike's Race-Week Micro
Hey Coach P,
I’m refining my race-week plan and wanted to run it by you. It’s kinda unique for a few reasons: I’m traveling closer to the race than I’d ideally like to, it’s a ton of travel time, and we lose a day flying over the IDL. Tuesday literally vanishes. Even though the race starts on Saturday in NZ, it effectively starts at 1pm on Friday East Coast time. So . . . my proposed schedule below treats race day as if it’s Friday.
Sat: 150’/30’ brick per plan
Sun: Rest per plan
Mon: Swim 1,600 per plan
30’ run (3x3’ @Z2)
Travel 24 hours, leaving late morning
Tues: Arrive in Taupo around lunch time
Assemble bike, ride 60’ course recon
30’ brick run on course (3x3’ @Z2)
Wed: OW Swim - Course Recon (30&rsquo
30’ bike (spin)
30’ run (3x2’@Z2)
Thu: Rest
Fri: Race
I thought about moving the two Monday WKOs back to Sunday, then using Monday as a Travel/"Rest" day. Your thoughts? Thanks for all your help getting me to this point.
Mike
