Ah, my pre-golf days were filled with races of all kinds. I used to pin a number on 20+ times per year. Races included running (5Ks, 10Ks, half and full marathons), triathlons of all distances, cycling (road, mtb, and cross), XC ski marathons, adventure and mud races. Loved being in really good shape. Once traveled to Miami for a conference and saw they had a marathon in the morning. Registered at the expo on Saturday evening and ran the following morning. No specific training meant it wasn't going to be easy but I finished before heading off to the conference. Then golf came along...
