Just got back from St. George a couple days ago and feeling like a little bit of a headcase thanks to previewing the IM course. This will be my first Ironman, I'm actually just getting started in the sport and decided it would be a good idea to jump straight from doing a sprint, to a half IM and now a full IM and a hard one at that.

Indian Hills Track
In 5:30AM, out 6:30AM
1 inch of snow covered track, not icy, added a cushion to lessen impact - nice.
BECAREFUL on stairs down to track - BLACK ICE - HOLD RAILING - I almost lost it on first step down.
was dark - but lit by 1/4 moon - track nijas.


5 laps warmup

2 repeats of:
2 x 800
2 x 400
walked 1/4 lap as rest between intervals

Didnt feel dead after track, progress?

Rolled into swim workout at Y - felt sluggish, legs like rubber - fun (NOT).

well its been 2 weeks since the race and to be honest im missing the training!! Having a focus and a goal at the end is hard to beat and with the weather here being absolutely glorious for the past 2 weeks i need something else to get my teeth into.....the race was amazing and i loved it. Finished in under 7 hours which is what i wanted and now have goals to work on for the next one!
Next race Routeburn mountain race 32 k of BIG hills...

Just signed up for Ironman Louisville on Aug 29th 2010. My goal for this race is going to be 9:50-10:00. I'm hoping this will be the one that takes for to Kona in 2011.

It has taken some time but my main support system is on board and looking forward to helping. Thank you Janine!

I will continue to work out each day with the idea of building toward day one on March 1st.

Today is a bike ride up and over Torrey Pines hill.
