Add a century to my plan?

[Cindycycles]

HI,

I am currently following the 100km PR plan week 5.  Completed the field test today and improved my distance by 1/2 mile.  Yay!  There is a Century road ride coming up that I am considering doing and it is 2 weeks prior to the event that I am training for.  This century falls at the end of a rest week.  Should I participate or is it too close to my main event?

Thanks

Cindy,

That one is too close to your goal event. Stick to your plan.

The closer you get to goal event time the more careful you have to be about diluting your goals by adding extras to the plan.
