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 is my last day in Roswell, NM. I'm heading to El Paso tomorrow to catch a plane home. I'm ready to get back to all my girls.

I did a brick workout at the bottomless lakes state park. I rode the bike on some of the worst roads I have every seen today. They were so rough that I had to pedal down hill or the bike would slow down. It's a wonder I rode as far as I did. I ended up riding 17 miles in 1:01:15. I'm starting to think that my old road bike might need a little tune up. I then did a 2:58 transition to the run. My run started with my legs feeling like lead but I quickly shook that off and ended up running 4.08 miles in 30:07. By the end of the run I was feeling very good and could have continued on at that pace for miles.

I'm looking forward to getting back to my normal training grounds.

Have a good day!
