It's the the new year and my resolution has now taken effect: training (seriously) for IM Wisconsin. I'm wondering: what are the 1 or 2 top training tips you IM veterans would pass down to an IM virgin?
If it helps, here's a bit about my background... I'm 28, and as I said in a previous post, I've been training 10+ hours a week for the past 3-4 months (without rhyme or reason). I swam in high school. Ran XC and track in high school and college. Ran exclusively for 6 years after college (2:33 marathon pr). And dabbled a bit in road racing for a year in college when I had a stress factor. I did a few tris in the early 90s, but haven't done any since.
Thanks,
Matt
P.S. Thanks for all the DeSoto wetsuit advice.
