Well done mate and good luck.
I did the three peaks challenge this year in 24 hours and also running the Swansea bay 10k this sunday.
Hopefully one day i could be at a level of fitness to compete in an iron man.
Sounds pretty hard core i must admit.
The swim would kill me off for a start. |  |

I'm doing the 10k also this weekend. I did the Outlaw triathlon this year which is the same distance as IMUK albeit a flat course where as this one is more hilly so a greater challenge and thought it would be good to do it for a charitable reason.
With the right training plan and enough time to do the training you could get to the fitness. I don't doubt for a second that you will do one at some point. | | | |

I heard many didnt complete it. Some got knocked out in the swim by being kicked accidentally of course.
Gruelling and a trial.
Good luck. |  | | |

I'm doing both next year.
IMW is also a gruelling event, not helped by the swim conditions this year. | | | |

Great effort Sgorio, 10k run yesterday was a warm one for sure. I PB'ed at 49.01. Very happy seeing as 3 years ago I was over an hour doing this. |  |

Nightmare mate; first run in months took its toll and couldn't shift a stitch of all things.
52mins, acceptable but not great. | | | |

I was at on the line at those times watching for my brother inlaw. Well done both as it was boiling down there. I would have given you both cheers as you crossed |  |

If I'd have run 52 mins yesterday I would have been well chuffed, after not training either that is a great time dcd14. The reason for my 49min was a cardiff fan in front of me and I was trying to not let him beat me.  | |

Ha ha good stuff!
I couldn't go any quicker.
All that went through my head during the run was "how can you do an ironman and struggle doing 10k!" | | | |

The fact you are even considering the event says you know you can probably do it. You'll be fine, I'll keep an eye out for updates. Are you a member of any clubs? There's a guy at my running club just did the Ironman in Tenby, 13 hours! You should join up if you are not already a member somewhere its great. It's Run4All in Neath, loads of support advice and training sessions. Track sessions every monday at 6pm-7pm. you would be more than welcome. | |

I know I can do the distance its just a bit more challenging with the hills. Plus the 2 iron distances in 8 weeks, the biggest part is getting recovery right.
13 hours is impressive, I did 13:12 in my last IM distance tri.
I am with Celtic Tri mate and living in Llanelli its a bit far out for me but we do our running down north dock, thanks tho :) | | | |

Did you all get a banana when you crossed the line in the 10k? | |

Well I have only started running two weeks ago. So I'm well happy with my time. I'm more happy with the fact that I didn't have to stop once during the run. The last 1k I sprinted and as soon as I crossed the finish line I three my guts up. Was a bloody hot slog running in that heat.
Good luck for the iron man competition mate, I couldn't do it. | |
