It's finally Thursday...Yeah!! Well since I last posted a note I've done a short bike and a short run. Yesterday I spent most of the day flying but I did manage to get in a short 30 minute bike. I covered a little over 10 miles during my bike. After my bike I headed over to the 50 meter pool at the fleet rec center hoping to get in a pool workout with the local masters group. However, they don't workout on Wednesday so I just headed home.
Today I did a lot of flying again but I found time to get in a short run. I ran 44:20 and covered 5.8 miles. When I got home I was planning to go get that swim in but much to my surprise I had a set of zipp 404 wheels waiting on my front porch. So I spent the early part of the evening putting my new wheels on my bike. I can't wait to ride on them tomorrow.
Have a good weekend!
This blog is a continuation of my Ironman experience. I have now switched over to documenting my training for Ironman Canada, 28 Aug 11. I will be using workouts from Crossfit (CF), Crossfit Endurance (CFE) and the Iron Fit training plan.

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.

How I got to this point
Hello friends,
Some of you maybe saying "Foghorn" what the hell is that?? Well for those that don't know it's my nickname/callsign from the military. I've had it for years and it seemed appropriate for this blog.
I got here by training all last year for Ironman Louisville. I had a very successful race and really enjoyed the experience. The only thing lacking was a Kona slot. I missed the roll down for a Kona slot by 1 person. You can read all about my race in the 30 Aug 2010 posting.
Not to be put out I signed up for Ironman Canada the moment it opened for registration. I loved my last experience and since I was so close to a Kona qualifier, I just have to do it again.
