How did you balance training with a full-time job, husband, dog, etc.?
What was your base mileage before you started officially training?
How did you deal with burnout?
Did you lose weight?
Haha! Ha. Ha. Ha. Haaaaahahaha. No. I did not. I lost like 2 pounds from my starting weight (which was a few pounds higher than my normal weight, so that makes sense), ate everything under the sun, and surely gained muscle, but no. I don't recommend training
How much non-swimming/biking/running did you do? Do you think it helped?
What did you wear for the race? Did you change in between events?
How often did you do bricks?
How close did you get to race distance in each discipline during training?
Did you ever practice all three disciplines in one day?
Nope! I did a bike-run brick pretty much every weekend (long ride plus short-medium run), and a short-to-medium brick one weekday during most weeks, but that's it. The only time I ever did all 3 in one day was during practice races.

How did you decide you were ready for an Ironman?
Why did you hire a coach and do you think it paid off?
What would you do the same in training next time? What would you do differently?

What did you eat to fuel all your training?
