That was with a hobbled leg, limiting me to a 2:11 run. I torched the bike knowing I would be walking the run. So sad, my one chance to break 5 down the drains.
You could do it with your running. I'll trade my swimming for your running.
Next weekend I'm in Lubbock with horrible humidity and hills for running. Joy. My friend who does it told me he's never finished it without going to the medical tent for 2. I asked 2 what? He replied two IVs.
So wish me luck, as setting a PR won't happen there. Despite being old and slow, I finished under 6 every time, but not under 5:30. I'm usually right around 5:30, not exactly setting the world on fire. When I discuss with my bro, he reminds me, "Gee, I've almost never gone slower than 5 hours." [he's usually a 4:40 guy, but my legs don't hold up for the run][likely excuse I know].
Show off.
I hate all you fast people, may you rot in hell.
Halves only take about 15 hours per week to train for, so you could do it any time.
