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.

Big Swim

Hello friends!! Well I didn't do any crossfit today because I'm tapering for the marathon. What I did make time for was a nice steady swim. I went to the pool this afternoon to just work on my stroke and burn off some stress. I ended up swimming one mile in 31:47 which is slower than my planned pace but I felt strong and could have swam another mile without any problem. I'll increase these long steady swims as I get further into the season.

I'm heading to West Palm Beach, FL for the next 30 days. I'm planning to get some real open water swims in while I'm at that location. I'm also going to be doing the Nautica South Beach sprint on April 11. It's a 1/2 mile swim, 19 mile bike and 4 mile run. I entered in the celebrity division but for some unexplained reason I was moved back to the age groupers. I'll have to write a strongly worded letter about that to someone about that.

Well enjoy the day my friends!
