2011 season planning

My 2011 season as I see it now - I think my excel planning sheet is att'd - working thru some tech difficulties here

A few questions

- Florida Oly last week of OS - competing w/nephew (his 1st tri) - afterwards i'm thinking about a week or so of transition before gen prep - since i'm in Buff NY - April can be ugly weather - probably 1/2 my time inside - maybe i should repeat last few weeks of OS before I start 12 week HIM plan in May? 

- I have a local tri 6/5/11 - and then thinking about LP camp the following weekend - I think I'll be recovered? Is the LP camp meant for HIM guys? I've never tried a 100mi ride before.

- MY "AA" HIM is 7/17/11 - does the 12 week plan have race sim built in? Will my local oly's interfere? If so I imagine there's a work around?

- I'm thinking about another local oly 8/7/11 - but this might be to close to the HIM for full recovery - your thoughts? I'm thinking 2 weeks downtime (no serious training) then a gradual rebuild. Any recommendations about how long I should wait before racing after a HIM.

- After the HIM & downtime - what is normal training for balance of season?

Overall OS has going been well - FTP up 10% @ 8 weeks, vdot up as well. No major complaints other than tired legs

 

thx in advance

    Looks fine to me except maybe the oly 2 wks before the HIM. Check the HIM training schedules and see where the race rehearsals are. They are more important than a B race. What Florida OLY are you doing in April?

    Paul,

    Gator Half/Oly - Sarasota - on 3/20/11. i'm going mainly to support my nephew in his 1st tri - for me it will be a decent test of progress from last summer.

    Jeff- LP is a 2 loop course, so you can do 1 loop, and modify a second loop. A fun, yet challenging course!
