2009 Race question

No, you should be just fine doing that as long as you have had a good build up and base fitness.  You could even "race" the oly. if you want as the recovery should not be more than a week in which time you can be doing recovery sessions while working on your HIM set up and strategy.

I will be doing a hard oly. 3 weeks out from my HIM next year, so similar in thought process as using that last hard workout with a race.  I actually prefer that approach as it gives you a really good sense of where you are.  And if you don't want to push it, you go with a HIM paced effort and stick to the plan to see how race pace in a race situation feels.
