Subject: RE: Ironman Texas 2015Thinking about putting this on the calendar for 2015. I did CdA this year, and didn't have the day that I wanted. Mostly because I didn't manage expectations and mental approach well. I do this because I enjoy the experience, not for a specific time, but I allowed myself to get caught up in time goals and expectations. That did not lead to a positive day for me. The plan for 2015 was, and remains, a late season IM (hopefully Arizona, but could be another depending on whether I get in ), but I don't want to wait to November or October for redemption. This would be IM number 3. Working on family/spousal approval, but also trying to figure out if I can really do 2 IMs in a year. Family probably wouldn't come with me to Texas, but would be able to for Arizona. I did Wildflower HIM last year in 95 degree heat (but no humidity ) and lived in Dallas for years, but that was years ago. Heat is definitely a consideration, but I like the looks of the course. |
