Coach Notes
Even with your half iron coming up in a few weeks, I think your best bet is to load the longer training plan to prepare for Arizona. If you haven't already, you should check out our Arizona resource page online here -- which has lots of information about the race and how to pace it. Good stuff to learn from there.
Once you are through the race it is a quick recovery turnaround into your next season. I scheduled only two weeks and you may want to take them completely off. The goal will be to have you ready to hit the Outseason, our most important training plan, and where you make the most gains before you target the 70.3's you have lined up.
Let's get to work!
