Hi all, I have an Olympic Triathlon coming up on May 9th. My peak bike workouts were 2:30 rides and for swimming I got up to 3600m as my longest swim (broken up of course). The longest continuous swim I did was 2000m just as part of my plan and that was a comfortable effort I would say. Running fitness may be my lowest point right now but I did a 10 mile trail race with 1000m elevation gain right around 1:40. Anyways now that I have those stats listed. I wanted opinions on if it is reasonable for me to jump into Ironman training post Olympic May 9th to target Ironman Maryland Sept. 19th. It would be 19 weeks of training. Just curious on what some other people think. The training plan I'm looking at doing seems feasible and I have ran a marathon so I know the load that requires. Just curious if people strongly think I should avoid doing this. Thanks for all the advice in advance.
