Good Luck! I'm doing my first this year as well. IM Boulder for me. It's amazing how motivating that IM a few months down the road can be when it comes to daily training. I don't know if it's the excitement to participate or the fear of not being prepared, but missing a workout seems like a fool's errand these days!

Well come to the first timers club! I am training for my first (IMTX) and I have never been training so consistently in my life due to being excited/nervous/terrified. I am 82 days out and it has already been quite the journey. Best of luck!

I'm racing IM Boulder as well, but it won't be my first IM. Number 11 actually.

My advice: work on you limiters. Get some OWS practice. Race some local shorter races as a training race. Do a half IM six to eight weeks before your race. Don't bore everyone you know talking triathlon 24/7.

I am running Boston in April and Ironman Lake Placid is in July. I have been told that it is ambitious to think about doing an IM so close to a marathon due to the recovery time. Any suggestions?
