I've done a sprint tri (last September) and an Olympic tri (last week) on about 7.5 hours of training per week. With that amount of training, I achieved my goal of finishing. In one week, I do my first half IM. Again my goal is to finish.
Have I trained enough? I can answer that better than anyone else: Yes. But I will take 6.5 hours (plus or minus 30 minutes) to finish. But at age 58 and a heart-disease surviro, I just want to finish. Alive.
So what's the least amount of training you've done and still finished a triathlon? I've heard of people doing a full IM on 10 hours per week of training. I heard they are slow but they finish. Do you think that's feasible?
