Day 4- March 29, 2012

Nice swim workout- 1050m with fartleks. Actually felt pretty fast (for me) today.

Bike- 1 hour with power intervals.

Good day

Day 3 Ironman training

I'm following a Matt Fitzgerald program. This makes the most sense to me as a physiologist.

Day 3- Short brick
45 minutes biking (on the trainer again)- 12 miles or so
15 minutes running.

I just ran 2 miles immediately following in 17 minutes. Using the "baskets" on my road bike on the trainer and my biking shoes for the new Triathlon bike.

The first 5 minutes of running after biking is always a strange but neat feeling.

Day 2- March 27 IM

1000m swimming
5.5 miles running

A good day for me. Swimming 1000m was not an easy task for me just a couple of years ago. Still not easy, but tolerable. Running,......piece of cake.

Ironman Wisconsin Day 1 March 26, 2012

Day 1 of my Ironman training.

Weight 155

Swam 600 meters
Biked 1 hour on the training

Would have like to gotten more pool time in, but with my schedule and theirs, 600 meters was the best I could do.
