Subject: I want to race my first IM for my 60th BDay - in one year I just turned 59. I have had this crazy obsession to finish an IM for my 60th Bday. I have done many spring tri, marathons, 5K's, 10K's, half marathons, and even one half IM three years ago. I love tri but still have a fear of open water so if i did an IM i would want a lake swim, a relatively flat bike and pretty flat run. I was thinking about The Floridian. If anyone has done an IM just to finish, is getting up in years and has competed in the IM in Fla, I would like tips and encouragement. I was thinking of doing an Oly in Aug, another half in Nov and the IM Oct 2010 - my 60th year. Am i crazy? Mary C |
