…it’ll be my second IM. Basically helping out a friend who runs well, but doesn’t do those other pesky things. How has this sort of thing worked out for anyone?
While I would like to improve on last year’s time, I’ll be glad to finish the IM in reasonably good shape, not a huge deal, but obviously enough to a) go to the trouble of all that driving, debt etc. and b) to ask the question here…?

bump. because these things get buried so fast…
Take this for whats it worth. I haven’t done an IM yet. But, I am in for IMFL this year. I have the bike leg of the CAF race the sunday before IMFL. So, not only do I get to bike a half, then I get to hop on a plane and fly across the country. So, it will be a little late, but I’ll let you know how it goes. I would think you’ll be fine. Actually, wouldn’t you be doing about the same mileage any how a that point?
I did a 2K swim-90K aquabike race the weekend before IMLP and went pretty hard. The following weekend I PB’d…I think the aquabike is an excellent last workout…cleans out the “pipes” but you recover fast. Assuming you have had a good lead up training wise and are ripping and ready to go and have no injuries, I say, DO IT!
Thanks, couchweight and dev. just what I needed! j
