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

whiteninja

10/21/18 6:51pm

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

Archaea

10/22/18 6:17am

The one 70.3 I did I was undertrained for.

Paco

10/22/18 6:27am

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

10/21/18 9:40am

It's a 1.2 mile swim.

YardTime

10/21/18 10:52am

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

YardTime
