One year, they even offered the "Texas Two Step", which was a sprint on Saturday and the half/70.3 on Sunday.
Second time doing this one.
I'm an EN newbie, joined at the beginning of the November OS. Im excited to be doing my first 70.3 in Galveston, and later this year my first full at Alaskaman in July. Ive been doing sprints, olympics and running events up to marathon distance for the past 3 years, as well as some long distance backpacking trips. 2017 is the year to get the long distance tri out of my system before returning to marathoning and knocking out the rest of the World Majors (ok I've only got 1 so far lol).
My goals for this race are to PR (which I'll do by finishing!) and use as a learning curve for long distance racing nutrition.
@Scott, I didn't know the history of the race, that Texas 2 step sounds interesting
I've also got 5 coached athletes participating, so I've got other reasons to go that aren't about me.
Anyone have a suggestion for a Saturday night dinner spot for about 10 people?
