Expert 1148 Santa Fe, New Mexico | Subject: RE: Who's doing a 1/2 IM in 2008??? Me too. Buffalo Springs - June 08 (Registered so I can't back out) Finally got my long runs up to 10 miles, so I figured that's close enough. Nervous about the 1/2 IM but the really scarey thought is: I'll be playing IM roulette with the on line sign up for IMFL on Sunday. What am I thinking? (I'm thinking that's a whole year away -- thinking I'm really foolish - thinking what am I thinking?) Wish me luck. Guess I need to get a wet suit and maybe some aero bars and start training. |

Royal(PITA) 14270  West Chester, Ohio | Subject: RE: Who's doing a 1/2 IM in 2008??? hey, I haven't visited over here in a while. I have a question for anyone who has already competed in a HIM distance. I've been reading and studying training plans from a book published by Triathlete magazine and it calls for 2 a day practices 3 days a week since there are 9 workouts a week and a day of rest. How did you balance crazy work hours, the family and your work outs? I work 4 days a week (3-8 hr shifts and a 12) and I have to take call 12 hrs a month (I usualy tack 4 hrs of call time to an already worked shift so I don't have to give up a day off to be on house arrest in case the ER needs me). Currently, I go in at 11 AM at least once a week so I can make the 0545-0745 swim sessions. I have roughly a 45 min commute each way...do you see where I'm going here? Just not sure the training time actually fits with life and sanity. I really want to do it but don't want to become a maniac in the process. And my "rest day" is the one that I work 12 hrs since there isn't time to do much else those days anyway...(if you call running around in the ER a day of rest you haven't been in one lately) Edited by zipp1 2007-11-02 7:32 PM |

Expert 1073 scottsdale, az | Subject: RE: Who's doing a 1/2 IM in 2008??? Hey Triaya!!!!!! CA 70.3 here we come!!!!! I kind of made up my training schedule ( built it from schedules I found), I have a marathon in January, so it's a little challenging, I'm trying to run 5-6x a week, bike 3, and swim 3, after the marathon I hope to move the bike up to 4, and add 50 mile rides on the weekends ( I did a 50 miler last weekend, so I know it's doable). Swimming is what I'm worried about, I'm taking lessons 3 times a week, and hope to schedule some personal lessons from the tri coach. We've got to have a BT get together at after the race!!!!!! I'm so nervous already! I keep thinking " Can I really do this".....  |

Expert 758 Morgantown, WV | Subject: RE: Who's doing a 1/2 IM in 2008??? Sadly, this year will be the first in 3 years I will NOT do a 1/2 iron.
It's time to focus on being the best I can be, and I am a shorter distance guy. Once I either A) go pro and then retire, or B) realize I can't get good enough to go pro and give up- THEN I will probably do another...followed closely by a full... This, of course, is subject to change by next week... Good luck to all those that are doing a 1/2 next year! Especially the rookies! |

Veteran 145 Hudson, OH | Subject: RE: Who's doing a 1/2 IM in 2008??? I want to... but I am having a baby in March and I am not sure I can get to that point in 2008. I live in the same town as the Steelhead, but I don't think I can be ready. Plus I did a race last year in Lake MI and it was absolutely brutal (50 degrees and wavy in July). So, I will see how things go and hope for the ability to get in Sept or later. You just never know. I don't know if I will have enough time to train with a toddler and newborn! Plus I will be nursing... Ay de mi! Maybe 2009 is more realistic?  |

| Member 77 Orange County | Subject: RE: Who's doing a 1/2 IM in 2008??? I am planning to do a HIM in '08, but I haven't signed up yet. Can't figure if I want to do the Grand Columbian in Washington state or the Big Kahuna in Santa Cruz. I won't be ready for the other ones on my current training schedule, but I'm pretty sure I'll be ready for one of these two |

If I can get to training two months earlier, I'll enter the Barclays North Ironman 70.3 World Qualifier. I hope it doesn't get filled up by the time I have the money to pay the registration fee |
