Triathlon Race Season Step 1: Count forwards 1 week after a Sprint or
Olympic race, 2 weeks after a Half-Ironman race, and 3 weeks after an
Ironman race, and mark these periods as "recovery". Don't plan any races
during the recovery.

Triathlon Race Season Step 2: Take the 5-11 weeks with the B races to the
taper week to the A race to the recovery week(s) - this entire period of
time is to be considered one "block". Depending on how long your season is,
and how long your races are, you may be able to fit 2-5 "blocks" into an
entire triathlon season.

Triathlon Race Season Step 3: Put in 8-12 weeks of foundation "endurance" or
"base" training leading up to that first block.

OK, ready for an example of a "3 block" triathlon race season?

February-April: 8 Weeks base training
April-mid-May: Block 1 - 4 weeks build with one B Sprint Triathlon and one A
Sprint triathlon + taper week + recovery week
mid-May-mid-July: Block 2 - 6 weeks build with one B Sprint Triathlon, one C
Olympic triathlon and one A Olympic triathlon + taper week + recovery week
mid-July-mid October: Block 3 - 8 weeks build with one B Olympic Triathlon,
two C Sprint triathlons and one A Half-Ironman triathlon + 2 taper weeks + 2
Recovery weeks

There you have it these use these two triathlon race tips and you'll be good to go.
