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 [...] That is the question. A couple of weeks ago I was faced with a question. Which Ironman race should I do after Ironman Arizona this year? You have to sign up pretty much the day after the event for the next year’s race or it will sell out. Many of them sell out in about an [...]

I had been looking forward to this event for a couple months, since this was my first race of the year. This event has become so popular over the past [...] We are now just 2 days away from one of my favorite races. White Lake 70.3 !! It’s been nearly 10yrs since I first raced White Lake. This is a great location for a race. The lake is clear and clean, and the venue is flat and rural. In years past, the weather has been predictably [...] Triathlon swimming is tricky. I think it’s God’s way of leveling the playing field so that the strong cyclist or runner won’t totally dominate any given race. If you recall, last year I started my 2nd Ironman journey after about 5-6 years of really no triathlons of any kind. I went back to the basics using [...] We all make New Year’s Resolutions. But when you look back on the previous year, do you even remember what your resolution was? If not, you’re not alone. Only 12% actually keep their resolutions from year to year according to Wiki. This is a terrible track record and it tells me 2 things. We are either [...] |
