Curious to hear the responses on this from everyone that comes from various athletic backgrounds.
To add further which triathlon achievement has been most difficult?
Really fun one to think about..
_Toughest- Top 10 finish in my one and only ultra, a 100 miler
_Second - Going all in for an IM (always all-in on race day, but learned how to train in this lead up) when I missed a KQ by 3 minutes.. The training contributes to this placement
_Third- Finally nailing the Newton Hills in Boston on my third trip this year in the drenching, windy conditions
Others not in the top 3:
_70.3 WC in Chatt was really tough, and placing well there was probably my most difficult triathlon achievement
_Surviving a season of Junior hockey. The buses, motels, and constant state of pseudo injury makes for a long season
_Doing decently in a 100M bike race. It was my first draft legal experience so I had to work a lot on my handling leading up to it
_Breaking 1:15 in a half marathon. Dedicating almost fully to my run for a few months still felt like a break compared to IM training
Too old to go pro but doing it anyway
