Long time lurker, first time poster here. This past weekend, at a happy hour with the GF and some of her co-workers. One of them was a college swimmer and did the shortened IMNC last year. We got to talking about racing in general and as I was talking about my buildup for IMWI this year, he flat out said that he wouldn't recommend biking or running at all, 3 weeks prior.

Alcohol was definitely a factor and I pretty much gave him the "okay dude, thanks for the advice response" and laughed it off. Anyone else ever get ridiculous advice like this or ever heard of this/similar strategy? Not at all looking to implement and didn't take this seriously but curious what "advice" others on here have received..
