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.

Long Bike/Short Run

Well I'm tapering but I still have to scale back gradually. Today I did a 3:57:20 bike North of Williamsburg for a total distance of 80 miles. I'm still riding up there since they have hills and Louisville has hills. I experience rain, wind and sun! It was a crazy ride and probably one of my better days on the bike. I ended up with a 20.1 average. Now I just have one more long ride next week (2 hours) before the race. See I am scaling back!
I then did a quick change into my running shoes and headed out for a quick 4 mile run. It took me 28:40 to complete the run which is 7:10 per mile. I do love to run and I wish I could be the fast during the marathon. I think during the race I'll start off at 8 minute per mile until I get some distance behind me. Then if I feel good I'll pick up the pace a bit. But I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.

Have a good weekend!!
