I’m contemplating IM70.3 Indian Wells Dec. 5. Problem is I have a week long vacation planned 5 weeks prior. This would mean no swimming or cycling from Sat. 5 weeks out to Sat. 4 weeks out.
First, how big an impact do you think this would have on overall result. I’m not so worried about the swim as that’s my best discipline.
Second, how would you adjust that weeks training.
Also, race is about 18 weeks out. As a 55 year old 5:30 HIM guy would you suggest Level 0 or Level 1 for the plan.
