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 didn't think I'd have time to workout today but my training flight ended up getting pushed back to 1400. When I heard that I went looking for a pool. I found a brand new YMCA with a beautiful outdoor 25 meter pool. Not wanting to waste time I jumped right in. I'm using a book that has about 50 to 60 long course swim workouts (yes it's waterproof) and today's workout was an endurance/strength workout. Here is what I did: warm up - 200m free, 200m kick, 200m pull then, 6 x 100 @ T-pace (RI 15), 6 x 25m Drill, 6 x 100 @ T-pace -:02 (RI 20), 6 x 25m drill, 6 x 100 @ T-pace -:03 (RI 20), 6 x 25m Drill, cool down 100m. Total distance 2950 meters. The T-Pace is my 100m average after doing 3 x 300m swims with 20 seconds rest between sets. My T-Pace is 1:38 but today I was able to do as fast as 1:28. My slowest 100m time today was 1:37. I think I'm finally getting faster.

I spent the rest of the day flying!

Have a good day!
