Lake Placid Ironman
Under 13 hours.
Seems too ambitious a target.
Hi Trevor,
Well, my best, with an aortic aneurysm (unknown to me at the time) was 13:34, in 2010.

To 13.34 add two years of ageing plus repaired pipework. Targets are good over ambitious targets seekm to go against your own advice to others given here in the past…
Hi Trevor,
I suspect that this goal is not over ambitious, just ambitious, but as I know, only too well, with Ironman races the race will deal out what it deals out on the day, whatever you would like the outcome to be. I think I’ll write a post on this, as you make a good point, and valid if one is attached to the proposed outcome. Nothing wrong with having goals to pull you along in your training, as long as you have a good coach to protect you from yourself, but goal fixation will lead to your being sidelined by injury. I have to put myself in the mind of my different readers a little more.
Thanks for the comment.
