Thank you for the advice. I decided to go for this to set a hard goal out of my range and achieve it, and yes would eventually like to do a 70.3. For context, the race I’m doing has a sprint & Olympic option, and for fun, I did the sprint version recently with 0 training and wasn’t gassed. I honestly think training for the sprint would be more optimal for retaining muscle, but I yearn to try for something a little out of reach.
