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.

Well I was suppose to swim today but work got in the way. So I ended up rowing 5000 meters and then running 4 miles. The row took me 20:37. That is the first time I have ever rowed that far so hopefully I won't be sore tomorrow. I did the run in 30:30 and just maintained a nice relaxed pace. I'm really looking forward to getting this race going.

We are still closing up loose ends before the trip on Thursday. Lisa had to pick up some race wheels for me from Fat Frogs. We then met at Starbucks to listen to her daughter sing at open mic night. Then I had to run the wheels down to Chesapeake to Matt's house. Matt is also competing in Ironman Louisville and is driving to the race. So he's carrying the race wheels. Thanks Matt!

Have a good day!
