• Reading this makes me want to do an Ironman as well. Not sure if I can actually achieve it though. I have never done any triathlons. I ran a marathon in 3h53m last October, but haven't ran much since. I biked 150+km with ease 3 years ago, but am most definitely not in that shape anymore. I swim like shit. Is it reasonable to hope to do an Ironman (distance) triathlon this year?

    I've got quite some free time so made this training schedule which I'll be starting tomorrow. The red blocks are gym workouts. The swims won't be as determined in the beginning. I will have to start with a zero-to-1mile-plan before I can start doing any specific training anyway. Papzakdag is Dutch for fatass-day.

  • There's nothing to stop you completing one, anything is possible with enough commitment, but why the rush, it would be a lot better to aim for a middle distance race this year and then sign up to an ironman the following year if you enjoy it - admittedly the pace for a middle is a lot faster for most than a full, but it'll give you a good idea...

    Looking at that plan, i wouldnt recommend a beginner double trains, let alone triple trains, looks like a recipe for injury, or worse, becoming really slow.

  • I'm all about the papzakdag, me.

    There's Papzakdag-kabobs, papzakdag creole, papzakdag gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There’s pineapple papzakdag, lemon papzakdag, coconut papzakdag, pepper papzakdag, papzakdag soup, papzakdag stew, papzakdag salad, papzakdag and potatoes, papzakdag burger, papzakdag sandwich.

    That, that’s about it.
