Subject: Upcoming 70.3 - First timer needs advice please Hi all,
I have the opportunity to do a 70.3 in early May in Western Australia (I am there on business during the event ).
I have done 2 Olympic distance tris and am just about to finish the season of Sprint Tris here in Melbourne which means I have done 9 events in all over the last 4 or so months.
I did a 16 week 2 x balanced Olympic dist program leading into the start of the abovementioned season and have consistently trained (although much shorter distances than is required for 70.3 ) throughout - and haven't always completed my logs but most is in there before and after I went away for Christmas holidays.
In short, with only about 10 weeks or less until the 70.3 - should I enter and go for it? I was planning on doing one later in the year with more time to train, but this opportunity has come up. I do have some knee soreness, but I can manage that and I will be able to increase my training from now - but is there enough time to get into 70.3 shape? The 21km run worries me.
What do you think?
If so, what program and where should I pick it up?
Thanks Edited by anturtle 2007-02-21 5:16 AM
