If you must c0mplete the bike ride in 10 hours and 30 minutes, that means they allow you to complete the run in 6 hours and 30 minutes. The run is 26.2 miles, so, in order to complete the ironman, I would have to run at just a little over 4 miles per hour. And would have to complete every mile in just under 15 minutes.
Fifteen minute miles? Piece of cake. When I was going to the gym, I could do a mile in under 7 minutes, so that’s getting about double the time. Of course, I would be doing about 26 of those and adding on a 112 mile bike ride and a 2.4 mile swim just before it, but hey, that’s not much.
This whole ironman thing sounds pretty easy, I mean who couldn’t run a mile in under 15 minutes? Right?
Today, I will be doing a little exercise. I have my weekly soccer game to play in a couple of hours, should be fun.
