Subject: Just did HIM for training...feel great Ok, so maybe I cheated a little. The buddies I was running and riding with had time constraints, so I did the HIM backwards.
I started w/the half marathon (kept 9 minute pace, which is goal for IM ).
Then I biked 56 miles (3:55:59, a little slower than I wanted, but there were some good hill climbs! )
Then I swam 1.2 miles (1:05, I was tired and leg cramping, so I was mainly pulling myself through the water w/my arms ).
So, what I learned:
my fueling plan was solid
I need to get a noseless saddle...my prostrate just can't take all that pressure! NO ED HERE PEOPLE!
Question:
the transition from running to riding seemed way easier than riding to running...thoughts?
the total time was a bit over 7 hours. If I keep my training up, would I be realistic in expecting to do 14 for Full IM in two months?
Thanks!
Ian
