@coach patrick. I might be interested if the test doesn't add more suffering that what already prescribe on my IM Plan. the registration has many options and I am wondering if there's a schedule for the group workouts and other activities? It would help plan the week and this test if I sign up. Thanks. Looking forward to the taper .... in Kona!
