After completing my first 150 a couple weekends ago, my thoughts were, well I'm glad I did that, but it's a bit monotonous. Maybe next year a Tri? Only problem is I am not a runner- biking- obviously fine, swimming- I used to do swim team so would just need pool time, but running? ugh. I've tried jogging a few times and I have negative running efficiency. I get maybe 400yds and have this huge stitch in my side and have nearly bonked and want to curl up in a ball. Not to mention when I used to play field hockey, the shin splints! Any other anti-runners out there who've pulled it off? Especially to have to run at the end! I think I'd keep to Olympic level as distance, maybe sprint, but still even 3 miles sounds daunting.
