      Curt,

      Breck 100 and Leadville are nicely spaced out to race and do well at both.

      The training plans are 12 week plans.

      What I would suggest is to start the 100 miler PR plan 12 weeks prior to Leadville on 5/25/2009. Follow weeks 1 – 8 of the plan and race Breck 100 at the end of week #8 instead of the long 7 hour ride planned for that weekend. In week #9 skip all the rides on the plan and take a recovery week (like week #4 but with an easy spin instead of the test on Thursday).

      Complete weeks # 10 (7/27), 11 (8/3) and 12 (8/10) to peak for Leadville on 8/16.
