Total - 10:08:00


How to achieve world class fitness!!

Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat. Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast. Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense. Regularly learn and play new sports.

White Lake half Ironman

Well this will be my last post until Saturday night. I'm leaving in the AM for White Lake, NC. This is the longest triathlon I have ever done and I'm very excited about it. White Lake is a crystal clear spring fed lake that has a sand bottom and is only 15' deep. No worries about sharks on this one..hehe. The swim is 1.2 miles and my goal is 30 minutes. The bike route is on back country roads, well actually White Lake is so remote that all the roads are back country. Anyway, it's a 56 mile loop and my goal is 2 hours and 45 minutes. The run (my favorite part) is ran on the road that circles the lake. The lake is an almost perfect circle crater. It's an out and back course around the lake for 13.1 miles and my goal is 1 hour 45 minutes.

I'm ready, rested and excited about this trip. I'm looking forward to posting my results Saturday night. These results will shape my remaining training schedule for the big race in Aug.

Have a great weekend friends!
