Decided a few months back that for 2021 I wanted to focus on ultras and have been in the pool once since December. I have a deferral for Florida 70.3 in 6 weeks but and always thought I would just further defer but randomly this weekend got the itch to do it.

My run fitness right now is very strong and bike decent. I’m relatively low on time and would much rather spend more hours running/biking than trading out a 2-2.5 hour run/bike bike for 1 hour swim where I have to drive to pool etc. Further I want to keep my run volume higher than 100km/week to continue building for some tough 50milers.

Usually a 30m 70.3 swim split while a FOP biker and 1:30ish runner.

Ultimately I’m leaning towards doing all bike/run and then maybe 2-3 swims a week or two before the race, accept I’ll have a bad swim but will make up for in on the bike/run.

Anything consequences I’m not taking into consideration?
