Subject: Looking for input on choosing my first 70.3 race Hi, I need some help picking a 70.3 race for Oct/Sept this year. I'm signed up for a local 70.3 but just received an email that told us they're making the swim/bike cut off time even stricter than previously planned. I honestly don't think I can make the new cut off (it would have been close before ) and would prefer not to have a 90% chance of a DNF on my first 70.3. I'm decent on the swim and run but am a slower cyclist.
That said, I can get a full refund and I'd like to apply it towards a new race. Given I'm also training for IMAZ 2015, the new race would have to be in Sept/Oct and somewhat close to Arizona.
My choices at this point are Lake Tahoe, Santa Cruz or Silverman but I don't know much about any of these except that Tahoe and Silverman would have more elevation on the bike and Tahoe could potentially be cold.
Any thoughts, suggestions, help? I have to choose a race by the end of this week. Thanks! |
