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.

Guys this is going to be down and dirty. I've been busy today so I'm just getting around to writing about my run today. I did another slow long distance run today even though it really wasn't all that slow. I went back to the "mountain" for another 5 mile run but this time I had my Garmin 205 fully charged. The run is actually 4.81 miles and I was able to run it today in 39:44. That is a full 8 minutes faster than on Wednesday. I felt great after the run, as a matter of fact, I felt so great that I just ran the 3.2 miles back to hotel. Grand total for today was 8.02 miles in just a minute over 1 hour. I'm pretty happy with that because when I finished back at the hotel I was still feeling very strong.

Well tomorrow (today) I'm starting my journey back to Virginia. I'm flying a small helicopter home and if all goes well with weather and maintenance I should be home Monday. Just in time to finally close on my house. But that is another story........
