I'm being generous here. The first race is next weekend, and it's not like Texas weather is anywhere near "Fall-like".
It still acts as the start of the Fall, though. I'll be competing in the Disco Triathlon, and then racing the DRC Half in November and the Half Marathon distance at Dallas in December. Unlike the last two years, when I was training for an Ultra and then the Full, I'm aiming for lighter training load with more focus on speed. The goal is to PR in the Half, and I'd like to make it a good jump. Last year I reduced my Half time from 1:30:03 to 1:29:00. Let's see what I can do this year.
Boston 2024 registration opens on Monday. I'll be throwing my hat in the lottery and seeing what happens. I'm also pondering the Galveston 70.3 around the same time. I wanted to try Waco this October, but didn't feel comfortably with the training turnaround time I had on hand. Spring will be much more accommodating to my schedule to get the swimming and cycling I'll need for it.
Let's get Fall started!
