Subject: RE: Oceanside 70.3Congrats to everyone that got in before it sold out! The last couple of years, this race has sold out in October. Crazy how fast these events are closing! Destroyer - I've run Boston after Oceanside the past two years. I thought it worked out better when the 70.3 was two weeks before the marathon, like it will be in 2011. My marathon plan calls for a 13-miler that weekend anyway and you can take Sunday off since the race is. This year, I was supposed to do my 20-miler on Oceanside weekend, since it was three weeks out from Boston. Yeah...that wasn't going to happen. In 2009, I was focused on my first Boston and just did the tri along the way. This year, I wanted to go for a time at Oceanside and just run the marathon. For what it's worth, my two marathon times ended up being within a minute of each other. I haven't really thought much about the gameplan for these two races next year. Seems like a long way off. |
