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 did my best to make it to the pool for a swim today but I came up a little short. My real job held me up but that's ok because I have a great job that allows me time to train. Today the issue was just not enough time to make it to the pool before it closed. I did find time for a nice crossfit endurance workout at the local crossfit gym. Crossfit Fort Walton Beach is ran by husband and wife, Jordan and Jesse, they had a home brewed Tabata workout today that I'm definitely going to be using in the future.

Here is it: Tabata 2 miles, 20 seconds on, 10 seconds off until you complete 2 miles. During the 20 seconds on it was an all out pace and during the 10 seconds off you could walk. I was able to finish in 13:39. It was a good workout that I'm sure I'll be feeling tomorrow when I ride my bike.

Have a good day!
