Race Date on a Friday

General

I mentioned this in a previous post (bugs) but I don’t believe I ever got a response as there were many bug reports at that time.

I am doing the Age Group Race in Wollongong this year and my race is on Friday the 17th of October. This will be my primary race and I can’t add it for Friday. I also have no desire moving things around manually etc. and I am unsure as to why the AI/Algorithm can’t deal with a weekday race.

Please be so kind to help.

PS I did a few weeks of offseason and will start my training back up next week. Therefore I don’t have anything added to my training profile at this time.

Hello, sorry about no response - I believe our developers are working on allowing mid-week races, but for now, please choose the Saturday and with a couple of small adjustments you can alter your race week to suit your race on Friday.

I had the same question for my “A” race, which is also on a Friday. Doesn’t appear to be any updates since this was first asked in Jan 2025. As Marjaana recommended, I was planning to shift all of my training sessions to one day earlier to accommodate the Friday race.

You can add a race to a weekday directly from your Calendar using +Add - Race tab. Please note this will add a race to your calendar, but does NOT generate a taper week, so the recommendation is to use it to add a fun 5K race, criterium etc in your calendar that is in general considered as “training race”.

Thank you Marjaana,

I’ll keep it as is, because I’ll need the taper. My “A” race is on a Friday for the draft-legal triathlon Nationals.

Yes, keep A races in the schedule from the Plan Builder, and use the calendar for fun races that replace any hard weekly session.
