Discussion: Rest After a 1/2 IM...
Subject: Rest After a 1/2 IM... By: Amanda Flamm Written on: 2005-03-25 15:03:17 Message: Hi Everyone, Just wondering what the general consensus is in terms of how many days to rest and/or take off after a half Ironman (knowing there's an Olympic distance tri coming up in 4 weeks). What's too soon to get back out there w/o losing any fitness? Thanks! A

Then spend the next two weeks with the heavy duty stuff, taper again, and do the Olympic. Good luck!
