Subject: sprint-70.3 weekend
I have signed up for Incredoubleman, a new triathlon weekend in upstate New York, Sept. 13 and 14. The sprint is Saturday and the half is Sunday. Is there a training plan out there for such an endeavor?
Thanks in advance!

I'd train for the half, and take the sprint fairly easy - as a nice little warm-up for the half the next day.

A friend of mine did this last year. She raced the sprint at 90% effort...won

Raced the HIM to her full potential the following day and raced very well.

No problem in taking the swim/bike hard and chilling out on the run in the sprint.

Should be fun....weekend doubles are AWESOME!

My pre-race shakeout on Saturday was basically a sprint distance...
Just think about how hard you want to go.

That was gonna' be my advice.  yeah- train for the Half.  Go pretty hard on the sprint swim and bike, and back off a little on the run.  Keep it under threshold.  90%- and that should leave you reasonably good for the next day.

 

sounds like a hoot of a weekend.

Since your “A” race is your marathon, which you stated in your question, this should be your main focus. I encourage you to taper a bit for the sprint distance triathlon.
