Here's her email: I know Jim "Jolly" Rogers already sent you some info about Louisville and the fact that we got to spend time with Chris and Daniel McDonald - that was so cool, what great guys!

Jolly had a great day battling a tough course and some brutal heat, and anyone tough enough - or is it crazy enough - to take on their first marathon in an Ironman is my hero!!High 5 Richard Marlow sent through this weeks High 5, Off Season Mojo.

Website of the Weekwww.tritheworld.com Brain and Heather are doing 16 70.3 races around the world in 8 months to raise Awareness for Testicular Cancer and Acquired Brain Injury. An amazing effort, and they are paying for most of it themselves My site TRImapper.com has just signed a deal to sponsor 4 or 5 of their races. They are just ordinary human beings, not pros doing something for a cause. Coach's CornersIf you are doing two races in 6 weeks here's the best way to approach it:You need to be very fit to handle two good racesHave the first race as your key raceShorter taperStraight back into it the day after the raceRecovery protocol after the first race is crucial (eg, skins, stretching, nutrition, sleep….)Avoid running for 4-5 days and be careful for the first 2 weeks post race, good chance to aim for a lift in swimmingProviding all is going well resume fairly normal training after 10-14days, careful with runningNo runs over 2.5hrs, aim for better qualityimportant to get some quality riding in before 2nd eventPossibly shorter taper also for 2nd eventThis Weeks Websites Ironman Malaysia, Forestman Triathlon, Plymouth Triathlon, Inside Communications story, Bens Drug story about Keat, www.tritheworld.com.Iron Rusts, Ironmen Don't, Train Hard, Train Smart: Kia Kaha
