    I'm reluctant to say cos I stated my IM target here and missed it by half a day. But my only other marathon was 3.59, so faster than that. :)

    I don't think you can let the unique elements of Austria stop you from posting a time here:)

    One question - you have the endurance from IM, so, assuming you are pushing for a challenging time, would it make sense to prioritize some of the shorter runs to get the speed back?

    I honestly don't know. I've only done this once before, and I didn't bike or swim then. And like you said yesterday, I also have one speed; on or off. Nothing feels normal right now anyway so I'm just gonna suck it and see.

    It is going to be tough knocking out 3.30, shuffling on your knees to get a good view...

    I could beat all the men in a race and I still wouldn't be happy. Wouldn't pay much attention to my ramblings. :pac:

    We do everything together, dont we.

    Yeah, why not? Of course we need a forfeit for the loser.

    You'd really want to fix that by running some shorter distances so. Do a bit of fast running to make marathon pace feel easy :)

    Yes, it is best to clarify that. Or people will talk. :p

    I think our compatriots here should choose a suitable forfeit. Evil buggers that they are.

    Now that's the kind of evil Oryx was talking about!

    Super suggestion albeit a tad impractical and at least it didn't involve a 3.8km swim as well for the full reverse IM experience :D
