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 went back to were my riding really started and rode with the group at Fat Frogs Bike and Fitness. Let me just say that the the guys that work that shop are awesome! They are very knowledgeable and very helpful. They somehow put up with all my questions and never even smirk or giggle. I need to say a special thanks to AJ, he knows why. Thanks AJ!!

I had a good ride and run. My ride was 35 miles in 1:43:00. I rode half the time with the Fat Frogs group and the other half alone. When I got back to my car I changed my shoes and headed out for a little run. I did 4 mile in 30 minutes. I'm so ready for this race to get started. I'm sure by next weekend I'll be going crazy to get this started. Strangely, I want to get it started and but I don't want it to end either. I've put so much time and effort into this race. Nine months of my life have been committed to this one event. The reward is the finish line and I'll go as hard as I possibly can to get to that point.

Have a good day!
