Planning for 2011 outdoor season

I’ve got another question, hope you don’t mind answering:

Should I be careful not to extend the comp period too much since I’m not an advanced athlete yet? Should I put more emphasise on GPP and SPP and extend them a bit or should I just start racing and improve through races?

The problem is that with 6 weeks of GPP there isn’t much time for SPP (only 7 weeks). However, assuming that I have good general conditioning fundamentals and the fall GPP was 7 weeks long would it be ok to cut the GPP into 4 weeks, just so to raise the tempo volume again? And then how should I structure my SPP? Is a “2 conversion weeks + 2 max weights + 1 recovery + 2 max weights + 2 maintenance” plan ok? Or should I cut one week of conversion and one week of maintenance to increase max weights?

Thanks in advance
