Hey all,
Im 16 and I did 2 triathlons this year both about sprint distances.
and im just wondering if you thinks its plausible to try t do a half ironman next summer?
I do work at a pretty physically demanding job and generly cant/dont want to train much more then 2-3 times a week at 2 or 3 hours each session.

Just wondering if think this would work or should i just stick to sprints?

thanks alot
