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.

Brick Day

Today I did my weekly brick workout. I got on the bike this morning and was determined to pick up the bike pace. I did just that today! I rode for 51:40 for 17.89 miles which gave me an average pace of 20.8 mph. That is the pace I want to ride at the Ironman. I then did a quick change of shoes and started my run. It's very hot here but I managed to have a fairly good run. I covered 4.25 miles in 30:01 minutes for a pace of 7:04 per mile.

I'm feeling very good about my program. I'm still tweaking my nutrition but will have it dialed in before I start the race. My swimming, biking and running have all improved. Now I just need to continue increasing my fitness level until I start my taper for the race.

Have a good day!
