I’ve started these threads primarily as therapy/support for anyone subjecting themself to the Full or Half distance training plans, or otherwise building themselves up to iron distance races! :muscle: Please do post anything you want, getting through the plans and to the start line is not easy, an…

If you think about it… Boston marathon is like 250 or so… most big marathons are in the low 100s now days… yet you are paying for 3 big events… I know is a lot of money… but I would be more worried about finishing it… there is a time limit to finish the events… I think its 17 hrs… I know you ar…

Thats what I was thinking. Some big cycling events are in the $200-300 range, so multiply by 3 and there you go! A friend that is slow at all 3 events, tried pulling it up but clearly recall she finished IM AZ in just under 17 hours at 11:57pm. Not that I think it would take me that long on an even …

[image] WindWarrior: with 6 hours of “yogging” This will be 6 longer hours of your life!! Just slowly cooking in the afternoon sun, after being on the bike for 6.5 hours! Just thinking about the pain full distance athletes goes to (well some any ways) cause me pain! I have very little inte…

The IM CA bike course is pretty flat and fast (what I remember everyone talking about before it got canceled this year) and you could walk a marathon in 7.5 hours (IE tha…

[image] MikeMckinney: I think the bike time you put down is pretty conservative for your skill level, you would be easily 30 min faster. Absolutely…zero doubt in my mind WW would finish and finish strong. Something to consider re: the price - it is only gonna go up from here. So if you wann…

Ya, I live here and routinely ride parts of the IM CA bike course. My run is non-existent, but I walk pretty fast here is my best along a creek trail from 2015 before I got into cycling (and part of the reason I got into cycling): [image] Did a short jog/run between mile 3 and 4, had to ‘run’ at …

AH! You should be perfectly fine for a long stroll! Just bring sunblock! :slight_smile:
