70.3 in less than 6 months

Can it be done? Yes. Make every training session count and you'll do just fine. Welcome to the addiction!

Cake!!!! If and only if your motivated. In 2011 I lifted my dead 238lbs tail off the couch and decided I would run Ironman Louisville "the course is in my back yard" on Jan. I started training. I was out of shape, I had never really biked and I could not swim a length of a pool. I set my own training plan reading everything I could. I only worked on one sport per day, I almost never done 2-a-days workouts and concentrated on only covering the distance in each discipline. That year I ran 4 sprints, 1, oly, and 1half Ironman before Louisville. I dropped 51 pounds, 8 months after I started training I stood on the dock and listened to the Star-Spangled Banner and my old Kentucky home and jumped into the Ohio. 14 and a half hours later I heard Mike Riley say I was an Ironman. "Pretty cool" I still run triathlons but only sprints due to time commitments with my two young sons , this is my fourth season and I just hopped off the bike.......So yes you can do it in 6months, start slow and make every training session count. You can do this!!!!! Train safe!!!!
