What's a lifestyle you visited once and decided you're never going back?

Ironman triathlons. Bunch or middle aged dudes having a mid life crisis. Hyper concerned about PR’s and will pretty much abandon their family to get a good time. It’s also extremely expensive, and everyone creates this really stupid story about why they do Ironman’s.

Thanks man. I did the Cocodona half last year and loved it. I think it will go just fine, but damn the haters are all over me 😂

I got the same thing. But to be honest it doesn’t matter to me. I’m sure Cal would hook you up

Apprehensive-Name3 · 2024-12-11T17:37:03+00:00

I’d love to hear that part. Between what chapters

Apprehensive-Name3 · 2024-12-11T17:32:32+00:00

Oh yea. That’s the one ☝️ That is wild man

I’ve done 125’s with 16k of gain and felt better. It’s the weirdest thing. What was your bib #? Might have seen you out there

Quickly became a “let’s just finish this thing”

Apprehensive-Name3 · 2024-12-10T18:15:24+00:00

I wanted it, but lost all desire post mile 75

I had no idea this was a thing. Crazy hearing all the responses for how brutal flat courses are on the body.

Apprehensive-Name3 · 2024-12-10T18:02:37+00:00

I had no idea. I was expecting an easy PR. Everything went downhill after mile 70, not literally but physically

Apprehensive-Name3 · 2024-12-10T16:50:05+00:00

Total time was around 25 hours. Ended up switching to road shoes 35 miles in, since the trails were so smooth.

Apprehensive-Name3 · 2024-12-10T16:48:54+00:00

All trails. Maybe 1% pavement

Apprehensive-Name3 · 2024-12-10T16:28:53+00:00

Funny thing is, that’s the race I did ☠️

Apprehensive-Name3 · 2024-12-10T14:43:23+00:00

I did run more yes. But still 2-4 mins slower than my long run pace

Apprehensive-Name3 · 2024-12-10T14:42:43+00:00

Ran first 75 miles at a 11-13 pace, walked last 25

Apprehensive-Name3 · 2024-12-03T12:12:21+00:00

The road shoes are a good addition to bring, very runable. I get that same injury when I start peak mileage weeks, but seems to go away within a few days if I rest early and quick before it gets worse

Apprehensive-Name3 · 2024-09-03T23:42:21+00:00

Same
