That's awesome! I did my first 5K this year after losing about 50 lbs. May

not sound like a huge accomplishment but I cried when I saw my family when I finished. A year prior I couldn't run 200 yards without wanting to puke. I don't think I could ever do an ironman but it feels great to accomplish a feat you have worked so hard for. Great job!

Bacon oil is my favorite essential.

You nailed it...bike was tough but doable. Run was miserable

whiteninja

I like the 70.3s; never enjoyed the 140.6s because never had enough time to

The one 70.3 I did I was undertrained for.

Paco

You can do what I did, train for the 70.3 and have major problems during the run

Archaea

10/22/18 11:36am

You got this. Report back when finished.

Chasicle

It's a 1.2 mile swim.

YardTime

Doh! Due to heavy winds the swim was shortened to 600 meters.
