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.

Today I did a swim/bike workout. I decided to swim at lunch because it was raining like crazy when I wanted to ride my bike. So I headed up to the indoor pool at Ft. Eustis and did my workout there. I did 3400 total meters but I only timed 1500m of it. Mainly because I don't time the kicks, drills or cooldown. Today was a lot of drills with 300m swims in between. My 1500 meter time was 25:24 which is a 1:42 per 100m pace. That would be perfect for the race.

I then had a nice lunch and was going to do my ride afterward, but when I was getting my bike out of the car I started to hear thunder. So I took it inside for some bike trainer work. By the way I HATE the bike trainer. It's so boring!! I did manage to get 45 minutes of riding done for a total of 14 miles. Not really that fast but I'm telling you using a trainer is nothing like riding on the road.

Speaking of the road I got my racing rims put on today. I'm going to be racing on Zipp 404 speed weaponry wheels. They are very nice carbon fiber racing wheels and will definitely help get me down the road a bit faster.

Have a good day!!
