How many races and hard should they throughout the season. I have heard no more than 3 for a half iron man. A spirit to start Olympic halfway through season and finish with the half iron man. I am doing Augusta 70.3 in September I want to do more than just 3. It kills me to do all this training for only 3 races. I have already done a Sprint the Iron Nugget in Dickson TN. I was scheduled to do another Sprint in Edinboro Pennsylvania at the end of May. I changed that to an Olympic distance race I cannot see the point in going back in distance and challange. I have not told my coach that I have uped my distance but he will know after. I have another Olympic race in Nashville in July and then Augusta in September only time will tell if I went to hard or prepared well and had a PR season
