WWHFD?

Now that DS is weaned and my body is my own again, AND now that he reliably sleeps past 5 AM,  I've been adding spinning and swimming back into my training and really want to do a tri this summer.

The one I want to do is 7/9, which is 5 days after a half marathon I was planning on racing to PR.  However, now I'm thinking I'll just do the half for fun and then do the tri (it's just an Oly).

This is doable, right?

We're enablers here, so I'll say sure!

I know nothing about tri's, but you're a seasoned endurance athlete. Picking either one as your A race, and then doing the other one for fun, sounds reasonable.

[hannahb]

I think you could race both. As long as you recovered properly between

[hannahb]

And I mean race. Shoot for a PR and really race the oly

[cinco]

Do it! I bet you'll feel great doing a tri again!

[Deleted]

Sure - why not?

[labbie]

Yes!

[sadlebred]

Go for it! I say try your half PR and then race the Oly for fun. It's short enough that you won't have any problems doing it.

[kams]

For YOU?! More than doable!

[hurricanedrunk]

Yes absolutely you can (and should lol) do both! I agree with others - pick one as your A race and do the other for fun with some solid recovery in between.

Also I am dying at it's "just" an oly. I'm newer to tri but have said this with running before

In signed up! Wheeeeee!!!

Fun! I haven't done that one yet. Are you going to be able to make it out there to one of the swims there this month?

[ktzmoh]

For a normal human I'd say race the half and then just go by feel at the oly. But since it's you I'm sure you'll destroy both races

[MrsE]

Yay for signing up! You're gonna crush both!

[jamalynn]

Yes! You can do it!!!
