Today was a little mix of everything (except the run). I got in a 30min swim at barton springs in the wetsuit. i did 4x400m before my stomach started bothering me and i cut it short by 800m. After the first 800m (6:10 400s) i did 2x200m at race pace start (2:40) and then closed w/ a 6min 400m. I followed the swim with a 30min bike trainer ride w/ 10x1min high candence/easy gear spins. I finished my workout w/ a 30min core workout.
Today was exciting to watch the ironman championships in the internet. the mens race was awesome. congrats to stadler for a great race after most people doubted his overall skills (mainly mental toughness and his run). it was really great to see ficker get 2nd for the women and to see lots of locals do well in the age group races. i am determined to race kona one day and i plan to do it by qualifying. its easy to say an tough to do, but i feel if i set the goal and follow the proper training i will make it happen. it all starts for me at IMAZ. My goal is under 10hrs which would be close to qualifying so we will see what happens. i think IMAZ will be the start of something big for me in racing. But before that can materialize I need to stay focused on Conroe next weekend. Tomorrow is a small brick that my hammy isnt looking forward to.
