Gosh dangit. Might not get to race. Thoughts?
Signed up for DSM 70.3 on June 8th. Training is going good and I'm excited about the race. I havent swam in a wetsuit yet (too cold still for OWS) but I did buy some buoyancy shorts which are the same material and thickness as my wetsuit. Felt like I had a pull buoy without the drag. It was kinda nice lol.
Unfortunately, I have a lot of travel over the next 3 weeks across several timezones. Training will be at a minimum at best. Running maybe, but bike/swim are probably not going to be possible.
I get home 6 days pre race.
Would it be dumb to attempt it? It's my first 70.3. I dont care about competing, just finishing.
44 M, 6' 250# no banana for scale.
