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.

As I recall, chad was out of shape and had a bad knee or back or pancreas or something, so honestly, I was all, WTF?? when I read that.

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.
