Moving RR#1 Back a week?

dougiann

I'm set to do my RR#1 this Sat. but the weather / wind is supposed to be awful (30mph sustained + gusts!) nor am I able to do it on Sun....I have 2 options (or more if you guys have a better suggestion)....1. do the bike on the trainer (thank heaven's for NetFlix)  OR 2. push the RR#1 back a week and move next week's weekend workouts to this week....? Any thoughts would help! Thanks.

Generally, the timing for RR#1 isn't that important. I switched my first one to a different week for similar reasons. RR#2 is the one you want to be sure that you stick with the plan so that you transition easily.

I'd reschedule the Race Rehearsal to next weekend.

Doug ... If the roads will be dry, and you are training for IMCoz, you might consider heading out into that wind, as that course can be VERY windy ... So much so they don't allow disc wheels.

OTOH, last year when I was getting ready for IM AZ in the rainy Pac NW, I had to pick and choose my days for the RRs, so I get the problem. What I would not do is risk it on wet roads nor would I want to drive myself nuts with six hours on a trainer.
