Subject: RE: Ironman Lake Placid : Official Threadhey all! how is everyone?? I am on the comeback trail enough to declare myself off the DL-8 weeks from my injury and ran 8 yesterday and biked 30 on Saturday.  what marathon are you doing, Jim? and I'm with you in principle as the evidence strongly suggests an IM marathon is considerably tougher than a 'regular' marathon-if both are truly raced; of course, pehaps it is just semantics but racing the long course IM is obviously harder than racing the marathon-- and finishing an IM but holding back and staying comfortably within yourself and not pushing it may be easier than racing the marathon--just sayin' and that puts me in both camps I could have finished the IM at placid in 16 hrs and it would have been a blast, but I hurt trying to push myself that day as I was still trying to achieve a time goal and stayed as close to the edge as I could Edited by dtoce 2012-10-08 2:44 PM
