It’s not a bad idea. You could use the current fall race as a training run. Basically go long and slow for the first 20 miles and then hammer the last 10K. That will give you great data to adjust your training for a winter or early spring race. There are a couple or marathons in AZ in Jan/Feb
The good news is just about everyone is lazy
There is little to no competition
It’s so fucking easy
Most men don’t even know what uncomfortable or hard feels like
Most quit before they even get that far
If you’re willing to try and do hard things you can beat almost anyone
Men are soft, weak, lazy, have no work ethic or discipline
All you have to do it try & you’re already miles ahead of them
@JohnGoldman Don’t overthink it. The fit is more important than the components. Happy to talk you through it. The key is to take it to a real bike shop and have them fit it
@JohnGoldman Used road bike and wahoo smart trainer along with an app like TrainerRoad. That’s what I have in the garage gym and works great whether you’re training for an Ironman or just want to get in some cardio on the bike
