Re: Considering doing an Ironman...suggestions?

Bro, I encourage you to go for it! Doing something like this could change your life.

I'm an avid cyclist, and am 49 years old, and have been riding for about 20 years. I ride with men in their 60's and have known others who ride in their 70's. Good health, competition, and total fun is the result. I also pastor and run a business, so I need the relief valve, if you know what I mean.

I also ride with a Tri-athelete who is 45 years old. He has done a couple of Ironman's. This man is in incredible shape, and we have a blast riding together. The swim is the most dangerous part, but so is sitting on the couch (heart disease, high blood pressure, ect) LOL.

What's amazing, even at my age, in a 5 stage (week) Criterum we did in July, I took 2nd place, and this was against riders half my age. Guess who was only seconds in front of me? Yep, my Ironman buddy!

I did a Bible Study last night reflecting my experience on the bike. The Church was blessed, as I shared with them about the power and complexity of riding in the Peloton.

If you need any pointers, be glad to help!!
