The Running Thread --2025

From the more experienced athletes on here, how bad of an idea would it be to sign up for a summer triathlon (my first even, so might end up being a sprint tri) when I'm planning on running the NYC marathon next year?

It’s a good idea. The swimming and cycling will give you additional fitness with less risk of injury over pure running. Go for it!

We are not running it. The only time we did that one, it was 23 degrees and miserable (2013). We are leaving Friday for Cocoa Beach, because DH is running the Space Coast Marathon on Sunday.

I hope it’s a good event! Have you done that one before?

I have not done it as it did not line up well with Marathon weekend for me. Now with the knee it definitely does not line up well. I know @Disney at Heart and DH do it every year. We live close to Piedmont Park so i usually try and get out there with Whisky. Whisky likes this race better than PTRR, in the park you do not have all the loud noises.
