Today is the day I am going to break 12 hours. This is what I have believed since I set this goal and signed up 1 year ago. We wake up every race morning at 4a.m. Pre-race night is just about the only time during the year where I actually get 8+ hours of sleep. I [...]
I can’t believe this week is finally here. I have been looking forward to this week for an entire year. It’s time to go to the A-to-the-Rizona. This Sunday is Ironman Arizona, in Tempe.. Thanks for stopping by. As most of you know, I really love to compete in triathlons. I don’t really know what it [...] This weekend can only be described as a Blur. The tough thing about training for an Ironman isn’t necessarily the training, it’s fitting the training in with the rest of the commitments that you have in your life. Try as I might, I can only be in one place at a time. I’m supposed to be [...] This week was my biggest week in terms of training volume before I start the taper process for Ironman Arizona. I thought I would share my last week for those that are interested in what this looks like. Keep in mind, I do not put in this kind of volume year-round, but rather go through a [...] The alarm went off at 4:00a.m. My first thought was, "I feel rested…I wonder how fast I can race today?" My second thought was, "I should eat a bagel with peanut butter". All of our bags were packed so we pretty much just loaded up the car and checked out of the PI. This was only [...] With all of the recent hurricane and tropical storm activity, I was really looking forward to the Tour De Moore Century this Labor Day. There was another tropical storm making its way towards NC, but I really didn’t care. I just wanted to get back out on the road and do some hard work on the [...] It’s that time of the year where I am really starting to get into the high volume training days, especially on the weekends. With less than 90 days to Ironman Arizona(IMAZ), long runs of 15 miles and long rides of 80 miles are becoming the norm. It part of the process, and I do love the [...]
It has been nearly 2 months since we signed up for Ironman Mont-Tremblant(IMMT) for August 2012. With just over 3 months to go before Ironman Arizona(IMAZ), we have to start thinking seriously about how to at least become adequate at climbing hills…and descending them, just as importantly. In my immediate area, there simply aren’t [...] The other day it was 100F with a heat index up near 110F. Pretty much the lower half of the country was experiencing the heat wave.
This got me thinking about heat acclimation to improve fitness. I started reading all sorts of articles about acclimation and how it is supposed to improve the body’s [...] Disclaimer: The bulk of my bike workouts(85%) are of the long slow variety where my HR rarely gets over 140bpm. I have a good coach who basically sets these parameters for me. I feel like I have a pretty good idea of what I’m doing with regards to training, though I’m also the sort, who if [...] |
