Subject: 2 tris, 1 weekend?
So at the end of August my tri club is putting on an Oly pretty close to my house (I never get to sleep in my own bed the night before a race!) and I really want to do it. The day before that race is a sprint tri that I won my age group in last year, and I really want to defend that win! What would you do?

I've done Saturday/Sunday sprints before, 2nd AG the first day, 1st AG the second. Guy who won my AG on Saturday didn't show up on Sunday.

Cool

No problems here, go for it.

That's good training for Triple T - a race in Ohio.  It's a super sprint on Friday; an Olympic Saturday morning and an Olympic on Saturday afternoon.

For desert you do a 1/2 IM on Sunday.

So if you have the training, go for it.

I haven't done 2 tris in one weekend before, but I have done 1 tri and 1 Maters swim meet in a weekend, 2 centruy rides in a weekend, and many other double hard training weekends.  I'd say go for it.  The Sunday race may not be your best time but it should be fun.
