Ironman Triathlon

I have never done one but know a couple of you guys have. It was announced today that Chattanooga, TN, my hometown area, will be hosting an Ironman Triathlon the next 5 weeks. I thought it was pretty cool and thought I'd share.

An Ironman is my next goal. I just need to become a better swimmer.

 

I love triathlons. I have done half IM's and I attempted IM Lousville a few years back but dropped after 118 miles. Looking forward to getting my revenge on that course in the next few years!

I'd love to do it since it is in my hometown. If I end up doing it, it would be near the end of the 5 year deal. I'll be done with school then and could properly train for it.

 

Sounds cool.

 

I have never done one of these, but the first thing on my list is Tough Mudder 2014!

 

I am working on this too... I've got the swim... went almost 4 miles today 5500 meters but stopped because I had to get back to work. 1:45.00 +- My biggest challenge is going to be the bike... then running. I do like the sprint triaths though but would just like to do something more. One thing I hear with the swimming is to conserve your legs. I have been told to swim train with a pull buoy to build shoulder strength and conserve legs for the bike.
