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'm still here in Roswell, NM. I haven't seen any aliens from outer space but I'm pretty sure I've seen a lot of aliens from south of the border. There is a chance that I'll be leaving this place tomorrow. Lets hope so!

Today I went out to the little lake I've been swimming in and did another open water swim. The measured distance on google earth was .67 miles and I swam that in 19:49. That's not record breaking but it's more open water experience. I'll keep working on the swim.

This afternoon I did a 1 hour run around the bottomless lakes state park. It was around 95 degrees but I felt great. The altitude here is about 3700 feet and I guess I'm getting use to it. During today's run I was able to cover 7.93 miles in 1:00:00 which comes out to a 7:34 mile per minute. I'd like to run that pace for the marathon. We'll see in a few more weeks.

Have a good day!
