I've had a bucket list of PR times and managed to check off all but two - open 26.2 and 140.6. I'm pretty sure that if I go into either one properly trained, injury free and fresh I capable of hitting the times I want on both. My next 140.6 (and PR attempt) will likely be TX next April. I'd prefer some cooler TX weather for a 26.2 PR attempt so options would be either Jan/Feb or wait until Oct/Nov/Dec.
My gut tells me the smart play is to wait until fall. However, there is the option of a 26.2 ten weeks prior to IMTX. That would mean a run focus (with some bike work) up to that point and then a heavy bike focus the last 10 weeks of the IM build. I seriously doubt I'll go that route but I'm curious to know if anyone has successfully done something similar.
