Subject: Target Race is in the middle of 16 and 20 Week Program
Hello All.

First time poster, short time lurker. I just completed my first sprint triathlon over the weekend and now have signed up for two more over the summer and fall. The next one coming up is a sprint and is 11 weeks away from today (race day 7/24/05), the second race is an international distance and is 18 weeks away from today.

Question - if I use one of the beginner 16 week International training plans, which weeks should I repeat to add up to the 18 weeks away? Or would it be better to remove two weeks from the 20 week program?

Thanks for your advice.

I think I'd go with the 16 week program. You might want a week before and after that tri in July. Taper and recovery.
