Training Question

Hi All,

I’m training for IM Lake Placid on July 24. The weekend of May 30th, there is a convenient Olympic triathlon where I live. I have very limited tri experience (DNF’d LP in 2019 and will be doing a 70.3 in April). I’m wondering if I should race the Olympic or just focus on getting a long ride/brick/run in that weekend?

Seems either option would be good but am leaning toward doing the Olympic since I have such little tri experience. Have run 5 marathons and think I’ll finish in the 13-14 hour range hopefully.

Thanks!
