Subject: Racing shorter distance 9 weeks before goal race ? I'm trying to plan our my race schedule for summer 2011 and I would like to get 2 tri's in this, my first year of doing tri's, but with such a short summer schedule here in Canada it's hard to have 2 races with 16 weeks seperation. Has anyone ran a shorter race during their 16 or 20 week training program before? Is this a bad idea? My goal race is the 1000 Island Triathlon where I want to run an Olympic distance I but would also like to get a race in earlier in the season and I was thinking of doing the Ottawa Riverkeeper Triathlon Sprint distance which is 9 weeks before. NOTE: This is the program I'm planning to follow to train for the Olympic distance race. 20 Week Olympic 2x BalancedThanks, Shawn Edited by sozzie 2010-10-30 8:14 AM
