Well, I've never written a blog before, but as I found out on the weekend, there is a first time for everything.
On Sunday I competed in and finished the Australian Ironman! This was my first at this distance and I can't believe it, but I'm itching for more. Really though this blog is to thank Mike for his ultra program and all his support over the last 18 months. Solely using his ultra program and principles I have completed 3 HIM and 1 Ironman in the last 15 months. My times in the HIM got faster each time the more familiar I became with his program.
Three weeks out from the Ironman I had a virus that completely stopped me training right up until the Thursday before the race. A good long taper at best! Mike was able to reassure me that I had done all the work and would be fine. (As long as the drs said ok!) He was right, I was able to finish in 11:35 (25 minutes below goal) and was even able to run a 4:14 marathon, which is extremely good for me!
As Mike has said to me and everyone else out there a thousand times........
'Stick to the program and you'll be fine'.
You were right Mike.
THANKS!!
