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 got up this morning at 0600 with a one hour easy bike and a 1+30 run on my mind. Walking to the bathroom I heard the pitter patter of rain on my hallway skylight. A quick look out the window told me that I wouldn't be riding my bike this morning, at least I can go run I thought to myself. So I did what anyone training for an Ironman would do in this situation. I went back to bed, of course!! I mean the bed was right there and it was so warm and comfy. Plus I wasn't the only one in it! What is another hour going to hurt?

We finally got up and going about 0730 and the workout part of my day wasn't a complete loss. Lisa rode her bike and I did a 1+18 run on the Sea Shore State park trail. It was muddy and wet at times but we had a good time and enjoyed being outside. We did a total of 9.68 miles for a pace time of 8:04. Today's goal was Long Slow Distance (LSD) and that is just what we did. These LSD runs are only going to get longer over the next few months.

After working out I packed for yet another trip and then we went to a breakfast/lunch restaurant that is just down the street from my house called Citrus. It's a great place for breakfast, especially after a long run. Now I'm sitting in the Atlanta airport waiting for a flight while I type this blog. I should have been in FL hours ago but Delta Airlines missed yet another chance to actually get me to Atlanta on time. But that is another story!!

Have a good week friends!
