Subject: Recovery time between two Triathlons

I have signed up for olympic distance on June 5th. and I just learned that out of state friend of mine could come and do another olympic triathlon in my area on June 26.

I am tempted to sign up with him too, but only 20 days between them do not make me comfortable.

I am a beginner, just trying to stay in good shape. I did my first triathlon last Saturday, but it was a sprint one, I took very relaxing training after that getting a little bit lazy. I can do another sprint in a week or so, but not sure if my time will be better or worse.

do you think I will be ok?

Any special training/rest schedule I will have to follow?

That's plenty of time.  For Sprint and Oly races, you could race every weekend if you wanted to.  Just remember to take care of your body and recover during the week!

You should be fine with that much time in between races.

Last year was my first year of racing in triathlons.  I started at 245 lbs and pretty out of shape.  I followed the 16 week Olympic training plan here on BT and completed my first triathlon exactly 16 weeks after I started training.  Then I raced another Oly just three weeks later.  And I was totally fine and able to do it.  You can too!
