How does one add a race to the the Race Links? There is a modified Sprint that I'm doing next Saturday (1/2mi -S; 15mi -B; and 5 mi -R) in Darien, Connecticut (http://www.itpfoundation.org/itpman2006) but I don't see it in the Race Links listings.

In the words of Roseann Roseanna Danna - Nevermind. Figured it out. Thanks.

Spoke too soon. Figured out how to add it to "My Races" but can't seem to find out how to put it into the "Race Nexus" database. Any ideas?

Thanks Ron. Actually did a race simulation with a training group today. We did an open water swim (real choppy); 15 mi bike (real rainy); and 5 mi run (race course is actually more like 5.4 mi). We took about 10 mins in between each segment and got tips on the particular discipline. It was a nice way to get to know the course and the area. But then I was thinking - is that such a good idea to in effect do a race the week before the race? Probably should have thought about that before this morning. For training purposes, I plan to do the 16wk 2x balanced OLY Week 16 taper this week. You may recall (probably not) that I had to pull out of an OLY a couple of weeks ago because I blew out my back following a bike/run brick five days before the race - that was to be my A race this year. Instead, I'm doing this modified sprint next weekend. Back feels good. Real question is whether you think Week 16 makes sense to do this week for me. I ask because it's a taper week for an OLY and I'm doing a Sprint (albeit with a 5 mi instead of a 3 mi run).

A sprint taper should suit you fine...if you don't have anymore Oly distance stuff coming up...I could see using an 'oly' taper or little at all if this sprint was just a training race on your way to another Oly.  And especially a sprint taper if you have been recovering from the back injury and lost some volume.

But if you have been training Oly volume before the back, assuming you got back into that volume no-problem, then the Oly taper could be an option too...just depends on your goals after the Sprint race and the rest of your season.
