Finding more races

Hey Rich,

When we chatted this morning (Aus time), you suggested I need to find some race(s) later in the year or early next year rather than just the build to Ironman Cairns 70.3 in early June 2016.  We discussed the possibility of a Half Marathon to focus on.  In my research, I have also found that Challenge has a couple of 70.3 events, one in Nov 2015, and one in Jan 2016.  Which do you think would work out better from a timing point of view with race prep and Out Season?  Nov 2015 + June 2016, or Jan 2016 + June 2016?

Ultimately the choice will probably be up to my wife (spent a lot of SAU's this year, and the January event is in Melbourne), but I'm keen to know which would be the best timing from a training point of view.

Cheers,

Aaron.

    Hey Aaron, either of those races work from a timing standpoint to pick the one that works best for you and your family. Good luck!

  • Hey Aaron

    Are you definitely in for 2016? I am thinking of going back (2014 70.3) but it also depends on the family. January in Melbourne would be even better for the family but not for an American in the Northeast.

  • Aaron,
    When you've made your selection, please edit your TSR by adding that race to it, then I'll get that done for you. Thanks.
  • Hi Rich,

    TSR updated, and ready for you.

    Thanks,

    Aaron.
