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.

It's Monday and I'm back to it. I might be tapering but I'm still maintaining my workout intensity. Things will just get shorter over the next few weeks.

Today I did a 20 mile bike with the guys at Fat Frogs. I rode with the A group (fast but not the fastest) and I was able to keep up with them. Three months ago when I started riding with them I couldn't even talk to the A group guys. So today it felt good to not only ride with them but I finished with them. It was a great ride. Total time was 1:01:30. (The first 3 miles and last 3 miles were a warm up and cooldown).

I then did a 600 meters of drills at the fleet rec center 50m pool. After that I met Lisa at Runners, etc so both of us could get some new shoes. After that I went to Chick's beach and did an open water swim with some folks from Final Kick. I ended up doing 1 mile in 34 minutes. Not my best swim but I swam into the current going and with it coming back. I did feel good and my open water swimming technique is getting better.

Have a good day!
