Ok, as far as your cons go (for me anyway), numbers 1/3/4 have no bearing unless they would impact you significantly personally. Someone has to come in last (you've beat everyone sitting on the couch), starting is a coup in and of itself, you (likely) won't be the only one getting off the bike and if you are -- that's ok. As for 2, it's the toe that concerns me the most -- especially with only 2 months to heal. It may impact 1/3/4. And 5, you can cross that bridge if/when it comes. I find it admirable that you are even considering it. Wish I had that kind of courage. Me, I'm still trying to ramp up for a 5k. I think it's cool you are jazzed for the medal. I'd be working for a really nice night out afterwards. :-) Regardless, best of luck and I love your mindset.
