Advice

I am at a bit at an impasse. I am running out of events. Every event has led to a bigger event and the next challenge of completion. There are a couple events that are basically good training, but none that can ramp up to the feat of an Ironman. I have done a half-Ironman, and could continue to do them, however, there is no event that is a 3/4 Ironman. I am basically left with distance training on my own. I don't really care about distances, but hours.

Basically, in the Ironman I am going to expect an hour and a half swim, seven hour bike, and five hour run. I think a finish under 13:30 is going be exceptional. I have a total of 17 hours before the cutoff.

I am finding advice everywhere. I think once you have done a bunch of races and signed up your email address at enough spots, you get bombarded with tips, tricks and advice. I knew I would have a lot of swimming, biking and running, but it seems I have just as much reading to do.
