Thanks for the website.
Well here's the thing. I look at the distances - swim 2.6 miles. Sure I can do that. I was a distance swimmer in college.
Bike 112 miles. No problem. Last year I was doing double centuries.
Run 26.? Are you insane? What's this run thing...
Then there is the whole question of putting it all together on the same day. A hilly double century takes me 15+ hours. I'm not really worried about my endurance.
So I could see an IM happening someday. But not as a place to start. Is starting with a half crazy? The other distances seem really short in the swim and bike - my strengths. But even 13 miles seems like a crazy amount to run, when you're a non runner. Okay, so actually I did do cross country in high school - a bizillion years ago.
And then there's the whole, is this really what I want to focus on? I like challenges and having a goal.
The champagne is wearing off. I can actually think again.![]()
