Subject: Getting ready for my first IM
I will be doing the Beach 2 Battleship full ironman on Nov.1, 2008. This will be my first ironman distance. I have done a couple of 1/2 ironman distances in the past. I want to do a 1/2 IM distance before the B2B to gauge my fitness level. The Duke 1/2 IM is in the middle of Sept., approximately 6 weeks before the B2B. Are these 2 races to close together to be a benefit for my getting ready for the B2B? Thanks for your input....

I think that time frame is just fine. Towards the end of your major training time and before your taper so go for it. It'll be good to practice transitions, nutrition etc.

Don't forget to post a report on that race 'cause I might do it next year.

Good luck!
