Quote of the day
If you can drive there, you can bike there.
If you can bike there, you can run there…
Made this one up myself :). Every now and then my sis will tuant me, “why take the car when you can run there…”…hmm don’t tempt me 🙂
I have been re-reading Gordo’s and other’s articles on Ironman training. I reflected on what I did well last season (through half educate guess and half fluke) and things I need to work on. To say the least, I am very happy with last season. I have trained close to Ironman volume and have learnt a great deal on training itself. I did not have any *major* injury and completed HIM as planned.
The perspective that guide me last year will need to be modify as I become more in tune to my body and how it responded to stress (phyiscal, mental and emotional). More on that later….
Ironman Florida is this Sat. Quite excited. Even though I am not part of it, there are a number of tri bloggers participating this race. A large number of them are first timers too.
I put their bib number beside their name so I can track them on Ironmanlive.com on race day 🙂
Good luck guys. It will be a fulfill day under the sun.
I hope I didn’t forget anyone.

ShirleyPerly – Find her blog through raceAthlete.com. Good and delightful post about training her first IM.
ooh! Can’t wait to hear what your thoughts are on how your body reacts to stress. I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately as well – it’s just inevitable when you’re anticipating the possible struggles of the upcoming season I guess.
Cliff Bolder is 1269!
Wow, you’re tracking a lot of people. This should keep you busy for most of the race.
Wow Cliff – you are multi-talented – now you are creating memorable quotes….
Thanks for the heads up on the Ironman Triathletes!
Thanks for the list of IMers!! I hope they all do great, I can’t even begin to imagine!!!!
