I remember when something similar happened at an ITU race. The coach had his athletes do a fitness test that included 10K tempo run that afternoon.

I think some sort of fitness test could be used instead of the race over the weekend. Even if this wasn't done, I would still let the athlete relax a bit afterwards. The mental drain of the weekend could be rough on them.

Find another race, that's what most of the people did

I remember that... Either Edmonton or Cornerbrook got cancelled and Lance Watson told his athletes to run a 10k tempo run... I remember thinking this was kind of weird and that they wouldn't do well in the Olympics. Just a hunch, not even an educated guess.

Do a simulated race. Then brag about how fast you were ;-)

Do an alternative race and then whine how you spent the previous day wating and flying.
