Need Advice on Timing of my last brick before the race in 5 days

Originally posted by WhiteCatzs Hi I'm doing a sprint in 5 days. (Subaru Vancouver) July 5 I was thinking about a swim-ride brick750m wetsuit swim) ( 5km bike), tommorow or the next day. 4 days ago I did the ride- run brick, now I wanna do the swim-ride brick. Any thoughts on this, or should I be tapering instead ? Thanks for your help. Ps the transition during this brick is a joke, and unrealistic, since after the swim I need to leave the beach, get to the parking lot, get the bike out of the back of the car, which was covered up by a blanket, so it doesn't get stolen while swimming.

Dude.....I'm sorry, but that's excellent!  

That being the case, forget the swim ride brick.....you'll get nothing from it.  Instead, do a swim, then take a break.  Later in the day, find a place that is safe for your bike and do a double or triple brick.  Ride a couple miles at race pace, then run off the bike for 800 just under race pace. Do it 3 times.  Do it 3 days out from the race.

When is your race, Saturday?  What did you do today? 

It is a common training practice to do short intervals at race speed, or even a bit faster) a few days out from your race.  The intervals should total roughly half of your race distance. Triple bricks are very common.  You asked about when to do bricks.  If your race is Saturday you would do them on Wed.  If your race is Sunday you would do them on Thurs.  If your training is not that advanced, then do whatever you want........it's a sprint.  You'll finish.
