Hello - I am doing my first two Olympic triathlons on September 7th and September 21st (I hadn't planned it that way, but the dates got postponed). The September 21st race is my 'A' race. I'm currently on a 24 week training plan that includes a fair amount of base training and the end of the 24th week is my September 7th race. My question is: Is two weeks enough time to taper for two Olympic distance races for a beginner. If so, what would you recommend to train during those two weeks?
I'd like to do both races, but I also want to make sure I am not overstretching myself. Would appreciate your thoughts on spacing out two Olympic races for beginners. Thank you!
