Anyone ever done the half IronMan?
My old boss is trying to talk me into running one in New Orleans this October (18 weeks away).
I ran the Mayors 1/2 Marathon in April and kept up my weekly running without a ton of distance, but that’s the most I’ve ever done in any of the triathlon events. Haven’t biked in years and my swimming has consisted of, at most, sitting on something that floats in a lake and drinking beer.
I feel like I can manage the run and (probably naively) the biking. The swimming scares the shit out of me.
I would probably do a sprint and/or Olympic during the training.
My goal would just be to finish. Thoughts on that being my first triathlon? Am I crazy for even thinking about it? Any coaches or clubs in Lubbock that you would recommend? (Or bikes you’re looking to sell)
