I just think it would be good to get one or two olys in first. I think that was your original plan anyway. Where I was going with that is I don't know if you have time to get in any olys before IW registration closes. It would suck to do an oly and feel the confidence you could finish IW, only to find out registration had closed. It would suck worse to pay the entry for IW, then do an oly and discover you weren't ready for a 70.3.
Thanks... here's the plan: two more sprints and at least one Oly by the end of November. I'm likely to register for IW with the understanding that there's a 50% chance I lose my money.
