Dvorak Jul 2012 4:44pm, 24 Jul 2012 5,452 posts	0 Dvorak In the style of the Ironman 70.3, some American events seem to be being branded as 13.1 marathons. Which is appalling (Trail, yes. Not "WR recognised" yes. Down a mountain, yes, as long as you don't roll down. As part of a 70.3... on balance, yes).
rosehip Jul 2012 7:51pm, 24 Jul 2012 665 posts	0 rosehip I like the idea of aiming for 100 HMs - although having only done one and that very slowly it may take me a while to get there! Baker's dozen is a much better name than a half

ogee Jul 2012 8:50pm, 24 Jul 2012 18,805 posts	0 ogee Yes, I know they hurt. Closest thing I've done is race the Train at 14miles & that hurt a bit. Whats wrong with calling it a half? Sounds like your embarrassed about it.
Mr. K. Jul 2012 9:02pm, 24 Jul 2012 3,105 posts	0 Mr. K. Can I count my 21Km in my total?
Old Croc Jul 2012 9:09pm, 24 Jul 2012 21,999 posts	0 Old Croc my 12 in 12 halfs will take my lifetime total to 26. I'd done 14 before this year and doing 12 in 2012 - the 12 in 12 bit - is doing almost a lifetimes worth in a year. I am only counting races described as a half - nothing longer counts ie a 14 miler wouldn't count
Dvorak Jul 2012 9:12pm, 29 Jul 2012 5,466 posts	0 Dvorak Celebrated my 30th HM with a 12 minute PW. Revised my estimate to 2026. I should be managing over three hours by then.
