What’s My Goal?
The 2013 Oklahoma City Red Man “Iron Man” competition!
Competition, in this case, for me, means getting through the whole race – intact, one piece, no to little puking and able to go to work the following week. I’d like to complete the event in under 12 hours. That seems reasonable = 2 hours for the swim, 5 hours for the bike portion, and the marathon done in 5 hours. Of course that’s reasonable in terms of endurance athlete – in endurance athlete terms that’s the equivalent for a regularly athletic person of being able to do the Tulsa Run or ride a 60K bike event. Practically a stroll in the park.
UPDATE: Stopped training completely this year. Bunch of stuff happened. Mom got sick. Mom died. Then one of my dogs died (Pippin). Then another dog died (Snoopy). And finally, my cat Weebee died. Jeeze! The trials of Joebe. Enough already. Anyway, I’m going to start training again and see how far I get. I think I may get a coach this year – starting around June – August. Try to be a little more organized about this whole process. Try to find some people to train with, etc.
