Congratulations Scott! Great to read this account of your success. I was at IM Cali a few weeks ago to meet up with a couple of Coaches I am working with and all their Athletes, new to using Vespa had significant PR's (4) minutes to over 2 hours) and my experience thus far with the people I am working with is like yours.....the sport fosters self-improvement through the collective community support to help others also rise on their journey......
Thanks, Sarah! I think I've got one more gear, actually - I split 1:32/1:27 at Chicago last month. That would indicate a 6:20 pace is feasible off the bike. But what really helps is all the ultrarunning - we can hold mental and physical form when our bodies and brains are completely shot. And a marathon IS a sprint! 😇
I'm so impressed you are still tackling 100's, and still bigger and crazier ones. Let's stay at it! 🙌🙌🙌

Way to go Scott! Your 6:45 pace at our age, in a triathlon rather than "just a run," is insane.
