Been cycling for years, 10,000+ miles / year. Started running last October and I'm new to triathlon, but going big. These are my key events:

April: Xenia OH 1/2 Marathon (ORRRC)
July: Muncie Endruathon 1/2 IM
Sept: Toyota Challenge 1/2 IM (HFP Racing)

November 7: Ironman Florida

I started out only going tenths of a mile at a time. Worked up to some 5Ks and 5 milers. Now up to 8-10 miles but having some hip/piriformis problems due to imbalance in my legs. Seems all my endurance riding has overdeveloped my quads compared to hammies. More significantly... my right side is dominant to the left. Working on corrections and strengthening. Stretching... yoga...

I'll get there.

Ironman 70.3 California - April
Ironman 70.3 Hawaii (Honu) - May
