Subject: RE: First Back to Back races one day after the next?This depends totally on you: What your level of fitness is, how often you're accustomed to putting out max efforts, and how rested you are going in. And maybe your age... When I was at the top of my tri game, it wasn't too strange to do back-to-back sprint tris in a weekend. Sometimes performance on the second day was better than the first. Ah, to be young and indestructible. When I was bike racing, we often would have three to four racing days a week in peak season, with a criterium on the last day. My fitness was to the point where it would take a good hour to warm up to be ready to race. And yes, besides a full-time job, bike riding/racing was pretty much ALL I did... We won't go into the effects on the rest of my life... No way I could do that now. So I say go for it, see how it goes, and warm up slowly into that second day. |
