I am considering doing an Xterra event. It it the one in Virginia and I believe it on the 20th of May. My question is...will this race be too close to my "A" race that is on June 11th? I figured I could do this race and still have 3 weeks until my "A" which is a half ironman. I figured I could get another solid week of training and then do like a 10 day taper or so. Any thoughts?

Sure, you can race it. Just treat it as a training day and not an all out race. Recovery shouldn't be aproblem.

That's what I was thinking, try not to go all out. If I could just convince my subconcious competitive self to take it down a notch....lol
