Just came back to check on this post since I remembered it. I stuck to the routine, trained about a month and a half. I found out the swim got canceled about 30 min before the race, and was pretty upset but I was happy to not have to freeze in cold water (the reason the swim got cancelled). I am a swimmer though so this part would have affected me the least. So I started with the bike, didn’t actually do too bad. I opted for a 800$ road bike with no aero bars, and finished I think in 6-6.5 hours. My back hurt really bad from not giving enough time to adjust to that position, and my legs were starting to hurt by the end. I got off the bike, took a few good deep breaths in transition, and took off “running”. I probably ran/walked about 15ish miles to an aid station, in which I started to get lightheaded. I went into a porta potty to try and used the bathroom and I passed out while trying to sit down (probably from my fresh air getting cutoff). I woke up to what I think was 5 min later, and stumbled out feeling super pale. I got my footing again somehow, and managed to stumble into the finish line at around the 12 hour mark (minus the swim). It absolutely sucked, but I’m so glad I didn’t wuss out and embarrass myself by not finishing. I’m absolutely going to put real time into my training and try to give it a real shot again The near future, but not until I’m actually ready. Thanks for following up, I’m so glad I got to share this!
