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.

I'm Back!!

Hey friends,

Well l'm now 3 days post race and I just couldn't sit around anymore. So today I went for a short run to see how things are working. However, before I get to that I have to tell you that as of today I don't have any muscular soreness. Other than my throbbing left big toe I'm pain free. I guess that is as good of an indication as any that my training plan worked. I'll be doing the same plan for Ironman Canada with a few changes, but I'll get to that at a later date.

Anyway, back to today. So I went out thinking I'll just do a short, slow run. I started out and really felt great. I just cruised along like it was any other workout. When I got back to work 14:54 minutes/seconds later. I still felt great and was wondering just how far I had ran. I pulled up google earth and did a quick bit of measuring. Believe it or not I had ran 2 miles and it really felt good. Not bad to have a 7:30 pace just 3 days after that ironman. It just makes me wonder where that 7:30 pace was on Sunday. Perhaps it was hiding under my bed afraid to come out and play in the heat.

Have a good day!
