Two in One Day

After two months of no action I have created two posts on one day.

I have trained myself the last two years but felt that I was not

getting the type of return I expected from the time I was committing. So after speaking with my friend Jenny I decided to meet with Scott McMillan just before Ironman. Scott is based out of Penticton and coaches a number of long distance triathletes including Jen. I really like Scott's approach and after our meeting he agreed to coach me. Scott uses Training Peaks to post the sessions and designs a personal based on a number of factors. I have not had a coach since my college days and I am looking forward to his support and guidance. He coached Jenny to a sub 11 hour IMC this years IMC and it will be interesting to see what he can do with this old man.

It is Offical

Well I suck at blogging. I had great intentions of keeping up my blog through Ironman Canada. But the best layed plans.

The race went better than expected.

Swim: 1:08:36

Bike: 5:41:23

Run: 4:48:31

Overall time: 11h 46m 54s

I was please. I had two goals: not to walk during the marathon and go under 12 hours. Mission accomplished. I have registered for newxt year so let the games begin. I have a new plan for next year but more on that latter. I am going to try and blog at least one day a week. At least that is the plan.
