Subject: Ironman swim in 4 months? Hey guys, just finished my first post in the introduction section, so I'm pretty new
Anyway, I just wanted to get a general opinion from you more experienced folk!. I just completed my second sprint, I really feel like I could have done more though. The 800m swim was relatively easy once I got in the zone, I've done 50+ mi bike rides, and my long runs are ~8 mi
I am deploying this winter and plan to get up to marathon status as well as strengthen my biking even more. When I come back, I will have four months to get my swimming on par. I'm choosing either the Syracuse half (my hometown ), or the Couer d'Alene full (I'm stationed in Spokane. )
It would be nice to do the Syracuse, since that is where my family is - but flying is quite expensive across the country and I'd prefer to come home shortly after I return to the states and not do it a couple months afterwards.
I'm not looking for a"good" race time, rather just having finished is most appealing. So the full is definitely more appealing to me.
Thanks! |
