I think we will see him take more than 2 weeks, which is what he would get normally about now anyway. I base that on what I have read and heard about how exhausted he is. The prep for LS will be demanding, but he will put less time into the 5 hours each week of LS than he did into the 2 hours of CR. I don't think he will take 5-6 weeks off in a row, but I do expect him to have a month or two of low demand time before the final run up to LS
