Hi all,
Just finished my first sprint distance tri....Loved it! Now I would like to tackle an olympic distance tri (19th May) Do you think its possibIe? To give you some background, (54 year old guy, 78kg reasonably fit) I started training for the sprint before Christmas, but have been swimming on a regular basis for 3 years (did the swim leg of a team half iron man) and varous ocean races (750 m) and have been riding a road bike for 2 years, so the run is the weak point. (I have been running 70 to 80 mins twice a week) for the build up to the sprint. My time for the sprint was 15:48 swim, 35:57 bike, 27:44 run. What do think? Can I do it?
Cheers
