Ironman 70.3 Geelong was postponed from 21 Feb to 28 Mar due to a COVID lockdown in Victoria (AUS). The new date puts it two weeks ahead of Challenge Shepparton (70.3). These two races, along with 70.3 Melbourne (Nov) are the highlights of the Victorian race calendar and a lot of triathletes, I assume, would've planned to race both.
Without getting into a MUST vs MUST NOT argument, what is the shortest duration between 70.3 races you have done and how did you fair? Were you able to hold peak across two races in a short time or did you suffer on the second race? How did you tackle recovery and what did your training look like during that short break between races?
FWIW I plan to race both and am looking forward to seeing how the body responds.
