Haven't done a tri in a couple of years. Longest one was a couple of 1/2 ironmans. However, the training with smaller kids (youngest was 3 at the time) was a bit too much. Got back into racing mountain bikes (one discipline) and I'm pretty much enjoying things.
Then this big old wrench comes flying at me last night when the wife says: "Why don't you do a full ironman?"
My response: "Cause I can't train the way I'd need to with the kids."
Wifes rebuttle: "They were younger then, you'd have time now. Plus I know you could do it and I think it's a waste if you don't try."
Well yippidee dee whoo! (I didn't say that out loud)
So, I haven't ran in 2 1/2 years, but I have kept up with the swimming (some) and do a lot of biking.
My question is: What sort of time table would you put into picking a date that you'd feel comfortable with (assuming you have a solid base to start with). The tri I'd picked out to do a couple of years ago is in mid-September. I don't know that 13 months would be a far off target, but would prefer to get something a little sooner if possible.
Advice welcomed....
