Proper Taper for a 24 Solo

Hey guys,

I'm looking at the 2011 race season, and the Canada Cup in Canmore is the weekend before the 24 Hours in the same place.
I have prior obligations to compete in the Canada Cup, and I'm just wondering how bad of an idea this is with only 6 days until the 24 Hours after.

Mind you I'm doing the 24 Solo as a finisher, but I still want to put out a respectable performance.

Is it a bad idea to race the weekend before? Any tips on what to do as good recovery the week leading into the 24 if I do compete at Nationals?

I know it's a ways away, but I'm planning out the season more-or-less now to get a feel for it.

Thanks for any input! :thumbsup:
