T-Minus 25 Weeks
Another base building week in the books.
Another 10+ hour week to be proud of.
An all-around solid month of January to look back on.
A ton of work still left ahead of me before the notion of completing 140.6 begins to feel even remotely like a possibility!
Stats for last week are as follows:
Swim: 2:23:30 (8000 yards)
Bike: 6:00:00
Run: 2:11:41 (13.48 miles)
Strength: Goose Egg
Total: 10:35:11
Stats for January:
Swim: 5:53:23 (20,500 yards)
Bike: 24:15:00
Run: 11:27:01 (74.31 miles)
Strength: 0:30:00 - Not a very good commitment to strength in January
Total: 42:05:24
My promise to myself for February - LONGER HOURS & INCREASED OVERALL ENDURANCE
Looking back, I am proud of the training I put in during January. It was a stressful time outside of training, with many trips to New York for work, and many sleep-deprived nights working on my business school applications. Finishing a 2-hour training ride at midnight is not much fun, but this is Ironman we're talking about...and you can't fake it on race day.
This Saturday I'll meet my first tri-blogger, as Dave from Dave's Ironman Blog has invited me over to his crib for a 3.5 hour trainer ride and a 30 minute EASY run. Dave, as far as I can tell, is an absolute training beast and will be a force to be reckoned with at IMLP.
That's about all for now. Train safe and thanks for reading!

Good week of training!
Way to go. Keep rocking and you will be more than ready for your upcoming IM adventure.
wow! I think you will be more than ready for Ironman, especially with your calm and postive attitude. Looking forward to reading your adventure unfold :)
Training beasts..hmm :)
I did no strength training at all. So far, body is handling that well. If I have more time, I will hit the weights. For now, focus is aerobic base.
I am with you in Feb as the month to increase the aerobic base. My plan is to get at least one 5 hr trainer session in.
