Half IM Big Day Question....

Hi Coach! Dropped into the HIM plan yesterday, and have a Big Day scheduled for Saturday. Our lakes are still frozen, and our pool schedules are undesirable (they suck, really).... So my question is...Can I do the swim on Friday and do my Big Day as writ (minus Swim)? Do you recommend a short run or something prior to the ride to simulate fatigue from the swim? Also.... I'm only slightly terrified that my first Big Day this season is already happening this week!

    nic, don' freak. Big Days are more about experience (you got that) vs current fitness!!!

    The friday swim is fine; total volume is the goal not acclimation from swim to bike (then run) as we'd have you do in a proper Race Sim...so no worries there.

    Time to start advocating for better swim times!!!!! image
