I have missed a lot of workouts lately for sickness then work and now knee pain.... Should I taper back in or attack this week like normal?

Ok- MRI hopefully next week but its not hurting as much as it was so that makes me think meniscus. anyway dont care going to start back training. Emily and I didn't get to train together last weekend but this week apparently I get to do a bike with her.... she is doing 50 plus miles... we both know I will not.
Still slow as all get out on my bike- running has slowed down DRASTICALLY since the knee thing. 8 weeks out from Raleigh 70.3
I have zero clue what I honestly want to ask but throw any advice my way you got. Im scared I might not even finish in the times, I don't want to embarass myself. I have zero clue about what I should do for nutrition or when to start prepping my body for that. I need way more hand holding that I thought.
HELP!
P.S. Ya'll are awesome! (this is without caffeine) #sorrynotsorry
You should start the nutrition stuff ASAP....you can learn about the sweat test here: http://members.endurancenation.us/Resources/Wiki/tabid/91/Default.aspx?topic=Nutrition+Central We want to start that soon so you get used to it.
You can swim your butt off...I'd like you to stay as aerobic as possible. So I am thinking minimal intensity, but getting time in. Consistency is key...so I'd like Thurs - 45' bike easy, Friday long swim, Saturday ride up to about 2 hours...Sunday is off to take care of that knee...and check in with Coach P... okay?
I will order my kit tomorrow and start the nutrition also. I'll check in Sunday on how the rest of the week went.
If bike / knee is an issue, then we just spin easy on Wed, Swim on Thursday and pick up on Friday above...
Thanks coach- race is sunday i clearly didn't pay attention haha but i will adjust from what you said above- thanks!
I am doing IMRaleigh 70.3 B2B 70.3 and a couple sprints and Olys that i haven't set yet.
I went all the way to week 14 in OS and now loaded up IM plan to end on June 1st (raleighHIM) I can just plug away at this from now on if you want. Had a bit of a freak out moment but I think it will be ok
side note: Did the whole 56 mile course saturday.... that was "Fun" next saturday I'm doing the swim and the bike back to back.... yay!
Hope you enjoyed the good ol NC mountains, jealous for sure
I took it to the shop today and they added a chain catcher, I rode the trainer for about 30 mins tonight and kept switching gears, I will take it on the road tomorrow and see if I have any issues- Also have my last RR Swim tomorrow- all I want to do is duplicate my time or less so 48 or less would make me happy. I ran today at the same time I will be running on Sunday was 91- hot but I can handle it.
I guess I am doing all I can now, don't know what else to focus on- 9 days out.
I posted my race plan draft- suggestions to changes wanted if needed
