Thoughts on balancing lead up races/events heading into an “A” race. Just saw Lucy C-B pull out of Nice in order to focus on Kona, not miss any key sessions, no need for additional recovery and taper from a 70.3 only a few weeks before Kona. As age groupers, leading into either Kona, Port Mac and Busso, any advice when it comes to how many events are possibly too many during the 14-20 week build. Ive found doing 1 in the build has worked well, however have paid the price when over-doing it and trying to squeeze too many events in.. For Busselton, there are atleast 6 events on locally between now and Dec 6 ranging from sprint, olympic, half and mara distances. Curious to know what sort of event would blend well with the build, and less likely compromise the A race.
