Starting on Monday, the week(s) of:
- July 13: Off one day per hour raced at Rhode Island
- July 20: Assuming you are using a 20-week training program, pick up with week 16
- July 27: Week 17 of your 20 week plan
- August 3: Week 18
- August 10: Week 19
- August 17: Week 20, taper for Timberman
That's a pretty good spacing. Depending on how well you recover from Rhode Island, and well you manage your training between the two, you could do really well at Timberman.

Thanks for the advice, this makes a lot of sense. And, yes, I am using a 20 week program.

+1 to this...that's basically how I have my plan laid out for an A HIM on 8/1 (Steelhead) and another on 9/27 (Augusta).
If I'm entered in the Rhode Island 70.3 and the Timberman 70.3, what is the best way to manage my fitness for the time in between? (RI is on 7/12 and the TIM 70.3 is 8/23) the RI is my true A in that I'll be tapering before it but I'm curious how I pick up after the RI to get ready for the TIM?
Any suggestions?
