OK I'm being suked in by all the talk of Ironman and Half Ironman etc, so how long does/should it take to train for a 70.3?
To give you an idea of where I am fitness wise, I've done 1 sprint so far (have another few and an OD this year) i can swim 1k in the pool pretty comfortably, i have run a 1:55 half mara (c*cked up with water stations or it would have been 1:42ish although i am confident that I can go quicker than that at the next attempt).
so assuming a 12hour p/w training how long would realisticly take to get to the point of doing 70.3?
sorry i know this will vary a lot but i am seriously considering one towards the end of the season if i can find one

Or have I got confused by all your subtle messages.
i'm doing the henley sprint the next day otherwise i would have been in there for the LD rookie day?
I've got conehead's book on order (amazon).
Should arrive today or tomorrow morning. Looking forward to reading it.
S11 - it is definately well worth reading!
