ChadTower:

It was multiple months, thank you very much.  Triathlon was in July, I'm somewhere in the 140s.  Tough age group, though, full of top finishers.

ChadTower:

I trained 6x/week for 5 months for that.  I do have a few old injuries from football/hockey but what guy in their 30s that played a lot of sports doesn't?  I am a bit lucky in that I already had good biking skills from practically living on my bike from age 5 to 18.  A 40 mile day back then was common for me as that was my main mode of transportation everywhere.  My only adjustment there was to a real racing bike.

You also have to figure that there are varying lengths of triathlon.  This one was a sprint - the shortest official distance.  If your neighbors train for longer triathlons they would be putting in a whole lot more training hours.  Next year I'm planning on two.  I want to rerun this one and I want to do the one in Salem, MA that is usually the following week.

Allowable distances are usually in the 500m-1000m swim, 12mile-15mile bike, 4.5k-5k range.  This one was something like 600m, 13.5mile all hills, but they cut the run down to 2 miles because of some unforeseen road issue.  That was annoying since they didn't even update the route maps they handed out that morning.
