I raced my first two triathlons last season - Lake Raystown 70.3 and Savageman 70.0.
If I remember correctly, I couldn't walk down stairs very easily for the first three days after Savageman, but after a week I was fine. Looking back through my training log, I Everested 13 days after Savageman.
Savageman this year happens to be 12 days before my first ever full distance triathlon (IMMD).
At first it sounded like a bad idea to me. The more I think about it, the open water swim would be good practice. Plus the race is a lot of FUN. I feel like I could shut it down for a week immediately after Savageman for a six-seven recovery / taper. Then maybe two-three days of light activities so I am not stale for the full.
FWIW I am MOP and my goals are to come prepared, have fun, hit my realistic targets, and finish strong.
Is this a very bad idea to do both races being that they are 12 days apart?
