I'm super impressed dude!! Great work!

Thanks! I am also doing the Marathon in Jan. It will be nice to see my time when I don't have to bike and swim before ;)

Sounds like you are doing the South Beach Triathlon. It's an amazing event and to this date, the largest attended triathlon I have done. I am also doing it this year. Although .93 /mile may not seem like a lot, this is happening in the ocean and last year the waves were nasty and people were quitting in the swim portion.

My advice for the run portion would be to start training on the sand now. A big part of that course was hard Sand and it was killing people that were not used to it (myself included).
