Tomorrow, a friend of mine, and one of the strongest people I've had the pleasure of running and cycling with, is tackling the Iron distance for the first time. It's not an official Ironman (trademark World Triathlon Corp.), but it IS 2.4 miles in the water, 112 miles by bike, and 26.2 miles by foot. The Great Floridian Triathlon. He's going to kill this course. Anybody who reports they finished a solo century at a shade over 4 hours and felt good enough to do a 5 mile tempo run is ready for this challenge. All this, while going through med school, after coming back from getting hit by a car.
Go get 'em tomorrow, Jake. Own the day. Just don't try to break the bike course record (even though you could). Save a little for that short jog at the end.
