end of year training / racing...

11.20.15...3:17 a.m.

It has been a weird year of racing and training...

while I will provide details in a year end recap next month, suffice to say that I have been somewhat streaky this year.  Fortunately,  from May - October I was fairly consistent in my training, nutrition, race schedule, etc.  As a result, I had good results in my events, set several PR's and whatnot.

I have been fairly inconsistent in diet and training since Chicago, but, have a bit of a plan going into the last 40 days of the year:

I hope to resume some more consistent training for the next 3 weeks...specifically running...as I gear up for the Dallas Marathon.

From a racing standpoint, I'm planning on:

11.21.15  Pumpkin Spice 15k
11.26.15  Trot 10k
12.5.15  FW Jingle Bell 5k
12.13.15  Dallas 26.2
12.19.15 Some Like It Cold 10k
12.22.15  Dallas Jingle Bell 5k

after The Dallas Marathon, I plan to ramp up my time in the pool, run a few days a week (after some recovery time from Dallas), and minimize bike/trainer time.

My primary goal going into 2016 is to be ready for Galveston 70.3 in April.  Lots of work to do in the water to get there.
