Weeks of 5/15 & 5/22
End of Build B
Start Build C

 The 1^st week of this schedule will be a less volume week which works out well since you are racing.

With that said, I don’t want you to view this race as a taper race. You will have a few days of rest leading up to it but the rest of the week should pretty much be the same.

The race should be done at a good effort but at the same time a training race for you to gain experience. I think you can go into the race saying that you will go as hard as you can. You are ready and fit enough to do an Olympic distance race hard.

The goal is to recover as quickly as you can from the race so you can get right back into training. The race might take a little out of you but with the base that you have this shouldn’t be a problem.

The run and the bike intervals should be done outside as much as possible. Try not to do these workouts on the trainer or treadmill at this point. You will have to find a flat surface that you can get these intervals in but these intervals are meant to simulate your race events and you are not going to be racing on your trainer or treadmill. For the bike intervals try to ride in your aero bars as much as you can to simulate race conditions.

Continue to narrow your nutrition down on your training workouts especially the longer workouts. Now is the time to figure this out and understand how you will feel during and after your long workouts.
