Tracyaa - 2012-07-02 1:19 PM First HIM. Generally happy with performance except for run. Followed 20 wk training program, but a combo of wind heat and hills did me in. Found another HIM to do 8 wks from now as a "re-do" of sorts, is that wise? Doable? How do I continue training, and where do I focus?
Wish you had something in your training logs so I could analyze your training for this race... and then give you an educated answer to your question.....

She did provide this:

Thanks for all your feedback! Just some brief background.... Long time swimmer, started with sprint races to get in shape after having my daughter 11 yrs ago. I have slowly been raising the bar. Last few years I added HM's, and a few century rides with my husband. Thought I could now tackle HIM. Followed Matt Fitzgeralds program as much as possible. Kept true to lengths and numbers of workouts... Sometimes had trouble with incorporating speed intervals etc. If I do the Big George HIM in Sept, I wonder if I should dial back to week 8 of the program or go back further and take fewer weeks out of each phase, or maybe just really work on bike pacing esp on brick days.
