Subject: Olympic 2 wks before Iron?? I have seen a few posts similar to this, but I wanted to ask specifically as relates to my situation: I am doing Vineman on Aug 4th. There are not many Oly distance options here in CO prior to that with the exception of Loveland, which I have committed to going to as a "sherpa" for my girlfriend (her first). So - that leaves me with Boulder Peak - exactly 2 WEEKS before my Iron-distance race. I am looking for opinions here -- is it too close to even consider? Should I treat it as a peak leading into a 2-week taper? should I consider it just a workout and not as a race? All of the above? Or is it flat out a retarded option...?? help please! thanks! |
