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.

Swim Far

Today I went to the local masters swim team practice. The best way to describe the workout is, well they kicked my ass!! The pool was awesome! It's a 100 meter pool which would have been great to use except that it just happens to be 25 meters wide so their were about 30 lanes. The workout was in fact brutal. Here is what I did: 10 minute warmup then 2x150m, 4x125m, 4x75m, 6x25m, 4x75m, 4x125m, 2x150m; then 4x25m kick, 4x25m free, 4x25m kick, 4x50m free, 4x25m kick, 4x75m free, 4x25m kick, 4x100m free; finished.

Now if my math is correct that is 3900 meters of swimming. This is just what I need to prepare for Ironman Louisville. I can't wait til Monday to do it again.


Have a great weekend!!
