Subject: More than one IM in a year

I completed Ironman Melbourne this year, I enjoyed it so much that I am considering entering a second Iron distance race this year.  I currently have two mild injuries (hamstring and ankle) that I am having work on, one of which has been with me since mid last year.  

Has anyone done more than one IM in 12 months?  My two options are Mid August or November.

I did 2 last year (Sep. & Nov.), and have 3 planned for this year (June, Sep. & Nov.). IMO training for the 2nd IM was way easier, as it was just maintaining my fitness.  However, if I had injuries, I would focus on recovering, so I would be 100% and could race again.  Good Luck

I met this guy at IM Melbourne - James Lawrence, his plan being to complete 30 IM this year....check out his website triandgiveadam.

Yes you can, but manage those injuries well.

What did your schedule look like last year between your Sept. and Nov. races? Are you doing anything different training wise between your IMs this year? Thanks!
