I never would have guessed that. I like to do the run distance stand-alone before I do them in the tris. But I've never done a stand-alone marathon so obviously it's not a hard and fast rule.

sub 1:45 would be sweet... you can do it. and for everybody else, i called shenanigans on FB for claiming he's never done a half mary with all those 70.3's under his belt :)

Wow, I would never have guessed. You'll probably be fast enough to keep up with the Kenyans! Have fun with it.
