I've been rather more sporadic with posting than with exercise this summer, but still not as consistent as I could have been with that either.
First 1/2 Ironman was in June, then an olympic distance 2 weekends ago.
Training has started in earnest for the Frankfurt Marathon at the end of October. Last week I had my first 30 mile week in ages. Now assuming I manage to follow a plan and not get too caught up in work/school/life, I will hopefully have a nice race.
It's not nearly as bad as it sounds, but then when I look forward to training for a *marathon* because it means I get to cut back the training time, then it's probably time to admit I have a Problem...
I did relatively well on both, met most of my goals (for the 1/2 Ironman - I finished, did not panic on the swim and had a good bike. for the Oly - I panicked again on the swim :-( but had an amazing ride and a decent run :-)
This will be my second marathon, I'm jumping into one of Hal Higdon's intermediate plans at week 12 since I already had condition from the tri training, just not too running specific. I'm modifying to include 1 day a week of tempo/speedwork to keep it interesting and using swimming as my cross-training. The second one is harder than the first, isn't it?

Lol, I feel a little exhausted just reading that line.
