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 got to ride on my new (to me) wheels. I got them on eBay and they are a few years old but there in good shape. I did a 20 mile ride with Fat Frogs and the wheels performed as advertised by Zipp. I rode with a group and we covered the 20 miles in 1 hour. I then headed for the pool and did 1600 meters of drills and swimming. Total time was 26:55 for the 1600 meter swim.

I then picked up Lisa and we headed for Skyline drive in western Virginia for some hiking and sightseeing. The trees are starting to change color and look awesome. When we stopped to go hiking we only went about 10 minutes before we came face to face with a black bear on the trail. He looked at us like we were in his way. After about 2 minutes he finally turned and head back down the trail. As he turned to go I'm pretty sure I heard him say "really, can't y'all hike someplace else"?

Have a good weekend!
