This weekend marks the 29th year for the Big Creek Tri in Polk City. Initially I signed up for this race as part of Flatland Series' special price for all 5 of their events. Herein lies the dilemma - this race lands right smack dab in the middle of my big volume training for Ironman Wisconsin (my 'A' race) - we're talking about a 100 mile ride followed by a 5 mile run off on Saturday and then a 2 hour run followed by an hour bike ride on Sunday. So, my options are:
1) Skip the big volume training and do well at Big Creek
2) Skip Big Creek and focus on big volume
3) Do both
A sensible person would probably go with either 1 or 2 - but I've convinced myself to do #3. So, I'm going to do a 1 hour ride tomorrow, open water swim on Friday - 80 mile ride with 5 mile run off on Saturday, Big Creek on Sunday, 2 hour run, 1 hour ride on Monday.
I don't anticipate setting a PR at Big Creek - not even close for that matter, but it will be fun and I'll still get my volume in for the week - best of both worlds.
