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.

BGI Fitness

BGI fitness also known as West Palm Beach Crossfit is my new crossfit home for the next 30 days. I went over today to do a very light workout so that I could workout some of the soreness. Well I didn't do a very good job of that. I decided to do the WOD with the group and once I heard 3-2-1 GO something in my head took over. The good news is I felt great considering I'm 2 days post marathon. The only lingering pain is in my ankle but I'm working on that with ice, trigger point and stretching.

The WOD was something different that I had never done before. It was fast paced and fun plus the folks at BGI were kicking some butt. Here is the workout:

30 box jumps, 15 get ups, 15 dips, 1 rope climb
20 box jumps, 10 get ups, 10 dips, 1 rope climb
10 box jumps, 5 gets ups, 5 dips, 1 rope climb

I used 30" for the box jumps (yeah I know but I felt great). The get ups are done with your feet under dump bells and you basically do a situp to a full standing position. You can also use a small weight to help with balance. They were actually very hard!! I did regular dips (not ring) and the rope climb was to 20 feet. My time was 10:04 and I felt much better after the workout than before I started.

Tonight I got my bike all ready to start riding. Plus I did the trigger point exercises for my legs and feet. I have neglected my legs for way to long. Considering how important everything is from the feet to the hips you'll be seeing me do a lot more stretching and trigger point. Not only do my muscles need to be strong for this Ironman they also need to be healthy.

Have a good day friends!
