Subject: Back to back ironman
Just wondering if anyone has trained for a back-to-back ironman over a weekend.
I know Cowboy is doing the 50-50-50 but for more mortal people like me a back-to-back seems a massive challenge....
Any training advice?
Thanks,

There are a couple of Pirate that have taken part in the Triple and TheDeca - I think one member even did a 30

BT has several athletes who have done multi-iron and/or back-to-back weekend races.  

Madcow has done double and maybe triple.  
Enginerd did IMLP and Vineman on back-to-back weekends a few years ago.  
JungleJenn does a lot of ultra-distance events and I think has done a double-Iron.  

Training for back-to-back events isn't really different than training for a single.  Race execution for the first race is key.  You have to get through the race ready to do it again a week later, so probably all Z1 rather than Z2.

Many of us race, and some race a lot, but when was the last time you gave something back to the sport of triathlon?

Make peace with your speed. A full 85% of the field is done and heading out for brunch by the time my feet hit the finish line.

I may not have pre-pubescent hips or breasts and at 36 that would be ridiculous. I do not need to have an "airbrushed body" and why do I revere that?

A lot of us don’t spend too much time worrying about stretching and strengthening exercises for our lower back.
