Me and a buddy were discussing this over the weekend in Galveston and wanted to get some other thoughts on the subject. As has been reported and discussed previously, IMTX dates are going to change in 2017 to late April. At least that's the latest reported information I can find. With the movement of the Galveston race this year to late April as well, does this mean a further move of the Galveston race is to be expected on 2017? I don't see both races being held the last weekend in April, so something has to give.
I believe Ironman used to, or maybe still does, host a 5150 event in September in Galveston? It seemed to make sense that if they aren't going to move it back to early April and let people use it as a tune up race for IMTX, that they would maybe move it to September? This also would coincide with the announcement that they are trying to get the 70.3 Worlds race in 2017, which would be in Aug/Sept time frame anyway?
