Subject: IMLP'ers using MOOSEMAN 1/2 for Training....

I know CT has a lot of IMLP'ers who are using Mooseman Half Iron for training.

I was wondering what everyone is doing towards the end of the month of May for the build on their own IM plan and how it coincides with the taper for Mooseman?

 ...are you even tapering for Moose? Going easy at the race, going moderate to race efforts just to gauge where you are?

I'm running the Boston "Run To Remember" 1/2 marathon on the weekend before Moose.  2 weeks  before that I'm doing Big Lake 1/2 marathon.  I can ride 56 miles in my sleep...it's the run I need help with!

I'm planning to do a one-week taper for Moose, a recovery week, then start back up the next week where I left off the week before the Moose taper.

Although I'm not "racing" Moose (doing it at LP pace), I don't want to risk injury by going in tired or rushing back into high-volume the week after the race.

But, that's just me and I don't really know what the hell I'm doing...

Similar to Cappy I'm not sure I know what the hell I'm doing either but...

I'm planning to go at moderate to race effort to, as you say, gauge where I'm at, confirm the nutrition plan, etc.  The training plan I'm following has the week of May 21-27 as a recovery type week so I'm going with that.  Should go into the week of Moose feeling pretty good.  Thinking I'll do mostly shorter workouts during the week of Moose as my normal Thursday morning LSR and my longer swim will happen at Moose.  Total volume for that week will likely be the same as the plan calls for just most of it loaded on that Sunday.   Plan to be right back at it the following week although revising the plans as the body's signals dictate. 

Also, going to head into my profile in the Gold forum and post a similar question to see what the coaches think.  Let you know what I learn.

Sounds good Cappy & burnie! I'm also using May 21-27 as a cut-back week (especially since I have to visit out of town that weekend).

Obviously I didn't know wtf I'm doing either, which is why I was asking!

But for Mooseman, I definitely am going to take it easy since I don't want to lose too many days in the training for recovery!

Looking forward to what the coaches on BT have to say burnie!
