Peak performance & timing

The Olympics are approaching and the athlete's have been building up their performance to qualify and then be ready to peak at the critical moment in the event.  The same has happened in the Euro's football tournament with Italy scraping their way through to the final but getting better as they progressed. 
Tomorrow I have friends competing in Ironman Austria and the Outlaw tomorrow and remember their fitness level and training regime was quiet different from mine 3 months ago.  Now my "A" race is over I mustn't compare my fitness to theirs as they are in peak condition, as they should be.
But while I am on holiday I'll be picking up my training in preparation for a tough half ironman event, 1 month after I return. I am aiming to peak just in time for the event.  Failing to plan is planning to fail.  I'll bring you up to date with my progress in a couple of weeks.
