Hi all - been soaking up the wisdom of the boards for weeks, now I have a question of my own. I'm training for an olympic distance in early October (Pinehurst, for my fellow North Carolinians) - I've done lots of sprints in the past two seasons, but this will be my first oly. My problem is, the weekend before Pinehurst is Wilmington, a fun sprint that I did last year and that my boyfriend and all our tri friends want to do again this year. I'd hate to miss out on all the fun (it's not the same from the sidelines!) but I'm a little nervous about doing a sprint the week before my oly. On the other hand, maybe it will be good training! And hopefully I'll be in great shape for the sprint. Has anyone raced consecutive races like this? Any advice or tips?
Thanks!
