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.

Easy Bike/Long Run

Today I did an easy bike followed by a long run. I got out on the road about 0700 and rode around on Bay Island. Bay Island is nice for a few reasons: 1) it's close to my house, 2) it has a very smooth paved road and, 3) it doesn't really have that much traffic. So I rode back and forth on Bay Island until I had 1 hour and 15 minutes of good spinning time. The goal of these "easy" bikes is to spin at 100 RPM or greater. I rode 19 miles during my "easy" bike.

I then switched into my running gear and head out into Sea Shore State Park. I'm not sure what the deal was today but that trail was very crowded. I couldn't help but wonder where all those people are in January when I'm out there running in the cold and rain. Poor me!! Anyway, I ran 1 hour and 45 minutes on the trail and covered 13.25 miles for a pace of 7:55 per mile. That is the exact pace I'm going to try and run at the Ironman.

Tomorrow is a rest day so I'll see you guys on Monday when I post again.

Have a great weekend!
