Rich,

Having received full approval for an ironman I would like to investigate the possibility of IM Texas as opposed to Boulder. I am trying to evaluate the pros and cons of each with respect to training footprint, course and travel. Would it be possible to have you do a roadmap for IM Texas and get your opinion as to whether you think I am too late to the game to consider this race? Sorry for the hassle. Thanks for the earlier plan, I liked it a lot but would like to consider the possibilities now that I have the green light to train for my one race for the season.

    Hey David,

    A sketch plan would be:

    • NovOS, beginning Oct 27
    • Exit the OS in early Feb
    • 2wks swim camp training plan
    • Then move into the last 12wks of the IM plan. 

    I've done many IMTX TSRs lately and this is the general outline, going off of memory. 

    If you decide to do IMTX vs IMBoulder, just submit another TSR survey and I'll get it done for you.
