OK gang, I've missed almost three weeks of training and the next week
will only be able to do some spotty training. I'm still determined to try
to do IMFL in November. Any suggestions for how to train in the coming
four or five weeks? I know I'll need to taper the last two, but just want
to see if I can do anything to salvage my endurance. I've been very
active, just not with activities that prepare one fo ran IM. Now if they
change the race so that you have to get off the bike every ten miles and
clear a bunch of fallen trees, repair a roof, and rip out carpets from a
flooded house, I might be able to win! In all seriousness though, I'd
appreciate suggestions. I've done several 60-plus mile rides, two 80
milers, and one century. I'd like to try another century in two weeks,
although all of my usual routes are wiped out. My running is very weak at
the moment, but I think I can get a 10 mile run in. Swimming is my best
event, so as long as I can work some of the kinks out from doing "real
work" I can manage that part with a few long, slow swims between now and
then.
Thanks for any advice!
