What a great site I'm so glad I've stumbled upon it. I'm going to start the 36week plan today but starting on Week 3 as this brings me up to race day on August 30th.
I'm not sure I can do IM Canada that I've signed up for so I'm going to do a half IM as a trial.
I haven't done a triathlon for many years but have kept active by cycling and swimming. Running has always been my weak leg but I completed my first marathon last year with not that much training and though my time was slow (4.31) I finished feeling like I could run another one.
I've dreamed of doing an Ironman since I read an article on Sister Madonna Buder, if a 78 year old nun can do it then so can I:)
Key Race for 2010:
Oliver HIM and if I do fine IM Canada

yes you are a good swim coach, however slight problem in that i haven't been since September. hmmmm... i really need to get into a schwimbad here asap. and i need coach Bain to come over to Germany and assist!
Hi Suzie! Saw you and Shelly are both going for it in Penticton in August -- funny how she comes from a running background, while you have been cycling and swimming...perfect training partners!
So, you have to post a profile picture now, like Shelly says! ;-) I actually finished IM Canada in 1988 and 1993, but even though it's been a long time I actually remember quite a bit of it...Have fun with your training, and let me know if you have any questions on the program.
