Just as an efficient supply chain is crucial to survival to corporations and armies, your IM success depends heavily on your ability to organize your daily training schedule with the rest of your life. Organizing things like food, equipment upkeep, and laundry are far from the glamorous elements of IM prep but failing to master these details will leave you missing workouts and eating via the drive-thru. Taking care of these details will bring you to the finish line faster on race day than other 'fun' endeavours such as searching magazines for the latest killer workout. Here at the last Prep week, we'll repeat the first week. Try to apply the logistical lessons you've learned since then to this week.
