      Hi Lynda,

      I am in week 7 of my Cat2/Spot MTB B,P,& R program and there is a low priority race at the end of the week.

      Joe,

      Which race is more similar to your *A* goal race?

      My *A* goal race is 20 miles with 4100' of vertical.

      The shorter one fits into your training nicely with no changes.

      If you decide to do the longer race, drop the “starts practice” the following Tuesday and do a 60 min easy spin ride instead to catch up on recovery.

      Both options above are about equal as far as training goes. I would decide between them choosing the one you are more excited to do.
