 4 |  Subject: New Clydesdale...Hi all Names Joel, From Pittsburgh. I signed up for a half Iron man in September... my friends convinced me to do it... so I'm in it to finish it. But here is the thing.... I started at 320 in December im 305 as of today... I know i have a looooong way to go! can do a 500 swim with out a break, good for 20 or 25 on a bike, but the run is the Achilles heel at about 1 mile straight running then i gotta go intermittent walk run.... Athletic Background: HS Swimmer HS Football College D1AA Football (lineman.... AKA the big guys) Competent on a Bike (AKA poor mountain biker) Any how Nice to be here, hopefully I can learn alot, and maybe share the journey. PS doing a Sprint in March, Planning for a Olympic in June, and then the half in Sept.. |

265  | Subject: RE: New Clydesdale... Welcome. You've set a nice goal and while it won't be easy it won't be insurmountable either. As for the run / walk, that's ok. On the one IM 70.3 I did (finisher at 61 years old) I had pulled a calf muscle about 10 days before the race. I ended up running about 40% and walking about 60% of the course. If you have good enough swim and bike legs you will leave yourself time to finish. You won't be challenging for the podium, but a finish is a finish your first time. Good luck and have fun!
