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.

Swim/Bike

Hello friends,

Today was a good day! I got lots of work done and I found time to swim and bike. I started with the swim this morning just before lunch. I swam a 300m free warmup then, 4x200m free, 600m pull, 16x25m fast free, 200m free cooldown. The total time was 38:18 which comes out to 1:40 per 100m. I'm working on my breathing while I swim. I will not allow myself to breath on one side only. If I can't bilateral breath then I slow down so that I can. I'm hoping that working on my breathing technique, swim technique and endurance I'll come out the other end a much better swimmer.

Before I headed home from work I took sometime for a bike ride. I rode 19.81 miles in 59:11. The wind was blowing pretty good today and it seemed to be coming from every direction. Which made me feel like I had a head wind all day. I have been told that since we ride on flat terrain the wind should be consider a hill workout. Well I can tell you I'd much rather be riding up hills than into a head wind, with hills you eventually reach the top.

Have a good day!
