 Just finished 3rd HIM of this season on 9/9/2012 and debating to do a Nov 3 marathon...so 6 weeks from this thursday.  Can I get it done with some success or crazy and do the half marathon.  It is local which is why I'm considering.

    Crazy is all in how you perceive it. Just did 3 x HIM, so you've probably got a ton of 10-12 mile runs in you, in addition to a ton of ~3 hour bikes. Over the next 6 weeks, bump your long runs to 15, 18, 20, all pretty easy, and adjust your goal pace down from your MP (maybe 15 seconds slower or so), and you should be able to have a solid race.

    I am doing my last HIM this weekend and then Philly on Nov 18 and I agree with Mike. Gonna do just what he suggested.
