Oly dist 7 days before IM?

[EspenW]

Hello

Just saw Macca did an Olympic Distance weekend before Frankfurt.

I am doing Norseman Xtreme August 7th, and have a local Olympic race possibility on July 31st. I am planning 1 week taper for Norseman, so will train pretty hard all week before the Olympic.

Whar do you recomend I do? And if I race, should I hold back a bit or go all out?

Hey Espen, best would be to hold back during the first race and take a bit more rest before hand.

Squezzing in a bit more training 10 days before the big race, can make you gain very little and possibly lose big.

On the first race, take the time to wear socks, lube up and do a warm down as those are the small details that can leave a mark before your 2nd race...

Let us know how you make out eh?
