Subject: RE: Alter 20 week Olympic to off-road ok...just checked out the xterra site...for that tri: Moab Steelbender Triathlon Nissan Xterra Points Series Race #9 May 22, 2004 Old City Park - Moab, UT 1 mile swim / 15 mile mountain bike / 6.2 mile trail run the oly is geared for 26mile bike...the sprint for about 13miles fro the programs here. not that i have raced xterra, maybe others have and know the mtb courses and how best to train for them, BUT i would keep the oly as is...that way you know you will have no problem on what will probably be a hilly, technical course. the bike plans here are for a faster bike...yours will be slower somewhat i would imagine for off-road...so using the oly plan as-is would be my best guess. maybe others have some better insight on xterra races and corresponding off-road training. |
