Subject: "Fatting" out of a race

In the last 6 years, I have participated in at least 40 endurance races, from 10k to IM to OWS long swims (4.4 M).  I have completed every race for whichI have signed up.  For some I was well-trained. For several, way undertrained.  I even raced a 70.3 the day after totaling my car.

However, I find myself staring down Savageman 70.0 about 15 lbs heavier than I planned.  I am thinking about downgrading to the 30.0.

WWBTD?  Thanks for your advice.

do the full.  You'll be slower on the bike, but warmer on the swim!

Just skip the hydration. You'll be down that 15lbs easy by the end of the race. Problem.... Solved......

I just did mt 3rd 70.3 recently about 20 lbs heavier than I was when I did the first 2.  I PRd and qualified for Worlds, mainly because I think my even though my weight is higher, my fitness has improved from my consistent training.  Go for the full!
