Subject: RE: Ironman Florida : Official Threadsteveseer - 2009-11-13 10:14 AM So for those first timers...now that we've had a week to let it sink in. Who is:
a) One and done. b) Will do another. c) Still Undecided
I'm pretty sure I'll do another eventually. 2011 at the earliest however. I was a "One and see what happens". During the swim and the bike, which were much harder than they should have been, I swore I'd never do this again. And I had to walk 10 of 26 miles and took nearly 6 hours on the 'run'. But it didn't take more than two days and me and my coach/sister are already discussing which one is next, for both of us. Whatever it is, it will be 2011. 2010 has us doing Survival of the Shawangunks and at least one marathon - not sure if it'll be spring or fall. My first marathon was during my first Ironman, and I want a shot at actually running 26.2 miles. I think I can crack the 4 hour mark. We're debating which one to do. Lake Placid is a strong possibility, but some of the smaller, (slightly ) less expensive Iron Distance events appeal to us. Bridge 2 Battleship or Cedar Point. We're also considering Silverman, but I'd like to save that bike ride for when I REALLY want to hurt myself! |
