I wouldn’t enter an IM if I didn’t think I could run a sub 4 Marathon as part of it. :wink:

Which for Poet and which for Jorgan?

Its been a long day! lol.

Piece of pee

For me…

Swim - 1hr 25
T1 - 8m
Bike 4:25
T2 - 5m
Run - 3:55

For you…

Swim - 60m
T1 - 8m
Bike 4:25
T2 - 5m
Run - 4:20

Total 9:58 (take an extra minute in T1/T2)

You don’t even need a sub 4hr marathon.

PS… you can laugh your @rse of if I do one next year and fail to finish or make a cutoff, I’m just joking and entertaining myself after a long day

As long as the run time isn’t more than the bike time, you are doing ok :rofl:

So.

Still not recovering well from the cold. But a bit better today.

Its not, but a bit like the illness that trashed my fitness after I entered in October.

It doesn’t matter, I’ll do another one at some point.

Twice in the last two years I’ve peaked with a 3:16 - 3:18 in theory but not entered in or had a marathon to run.

Only a year or two older I’m sure I can get back to that… although I realise there will become a point where that wont be possible.

This weekend.

Plan is 3:28 to 3:35.
