Ironman Canada Goals

Here are my goals for Ironman Canada. I'm putting them on the blog so that everyday I'll be reminded of what I'm working toward.

Swim-1:00:00 T1-:4:00 Bike-5:30:00 T2-:4:00 Run-3:30:00

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.

I got to the workout early today. Which begs the question..Why am I just now doing my blog? I guess it's because I just like to do it right before I go to bed. Which is just minutes away for me.

I didn't run to the gym this morning because a) I hate running first thing in the am and 2) the workout was "Griff" which is a running workout. But before we could start the "running" workout we had to do 20 squats at 65% of our one rep max. That is 120 lbs for me. After we all finished our 20 reps we then started the WOD. I don't like to get up and go run right away but once I'm warmed up I do love to get down the road. Here is "Griff" Run 800m, Run backwards 400m, Run 800m, Run backwards 400m, finish. It didn't look that hard when I was reading it on the white board and I grossly under estimated my potential finish time. I thought I could do it in about 8-10 minutes. I actually did it in 11:03 which isn't bad considering I ran half a mile backwards.

Tomorrow I'm getting back in the pool in the am and then I'm going to go sit on a spin bike tomorrow night.

Have a good day!
