Transition Period
HELP... I am in week 17 of my O.S. , it will be ending on Mar 18. I know that E.N. recommends a week or 2 break before you start up your next program. How do you think I should work my schedule, due to a family ski vacation for 10 days starting April 1. Should I do week 19/20 of O.S. again, take a break while on vacation, and start Ironman program when I return? Or ?

Rob,
When is you IM? This would dictate to when what the best option would be. If you have time that is greater than 12 weeks then you could consider doing weeks 19/20 again with the caution that you are not fried from 20 weeks of OS already. Also which OS plan are you in Beg, int or advanced. If you are in int/adv then I can assume that you can handle a little more work.
The coach may see this thread but I'd post this in the Macro thread in teh General training discussion forum to ensure that you get the coaches feedback.
If it were me I'd probably take a transition week after 20 weeks then come back and do one week probably looking at the IM plan/with some OS stuff if I felt like it. Then off to skiing for 10 days. Now if you are 12 weeks or less from you IM then I'd still transition then use that week in the IM plan and head off skiing.
