Veteran  212  Commerce, Georgia |  Subject: RE: Ironman Florida : Official ThreadMiker, That must be nice having a coach..I have devised, developed, experimented and pursued my own plans for years.. I am apporaching all the Ironman training with the marathon mentality methods,,Lots of back to back swim bike run workouts combined with long ones in each....I am basicily training for a marathon as my goal along with strong swimming and cycling before the run...I can better predict my efforts in the swim and bike this way leading up to the run thus enabling me to run well. I'll be looking for ya in Florida. |

I can't access it here at work so I can't tell you how much footage is available. Check it out at..... http://www.universalsports.com/video/assetid=72f8c5a9-86c5-4259-83da-373c63d99f07.html |

Veteran 260 Hong Kong | Subject: RE: Ironman Florida : Official Thread Kurt, If you don't have access to a pool and ideally to a coach, what you are doing in the Totalgym is great! Keeping those muscles active and working out in horizontal position. Just keep in mind that swimming is the more technical of all three disciplines. Some compare swimming to golf or tennis, where technique is paramount. Good technique will make you more efficient in the water and help you preserve energy, particularly on a long event like an IM. I can't wait also to jump back in open water!!! Good luck on your training, keep it up! I'll be doing my first tri race of the season in SC, Parris Island sprint triathlon. It's a fun event, great way to kick start the tri season. kandk - 2011-02-19 9:06 AM Boxer, I do all my swim training on a Totalgym for now until the water is warm enough in a lake nearby here in the midlands of SC...Amazing results on the machine..You can really zone in on your technique and endurance. Practice the breathing as well..The only thing I don't do is move my legs like I would in the water |

Expert 977 | Subject: RE: Ironman Florida : Official Thread OK, probably a silly question. I've only raced in HIM and shorter so it may be different. But, if you go to 8:22 into the IMFL video listed above, it looks like half the field is cutting inside the turn buoy. Looks like they are turning left after going out from shore. Heck many of them are cutting the next buoy too. |

Heck many of them are cutting the next buoy too. I watched the video but not specifically looking for this. Rule and key at IMFL is to hit the far two turn buoys on the outside/right side. You can swim either side of the other buoys on the straight aways. |

Expert 663 Williamsburg, VA | Subject: RE: Ironman Florida : Official Thread My Feb totals are really bleak except for the run.
I have really been focusing on the run because of doing my first marathon in MArch. I was really stoked to finish my second half marathon on Sun and get a PR! I busted my fastest time by 8 min(was a training run) and my only other half mary by +20 min!!Cant wait to get this marathon training done and get back to the bike and pool more reg. |

I'm happy with progress at this early stage on the 2011 journey. This was the first month of my coached plan and it seems to be working out. A lot of hard yakka still to go through though before IMFL. Adrian | |

Expert 769 Murfreesboro, Tennessee | Subject: RE: Ironman Florida : Official Thread My totals aren't great, but they are better than January's. I guess I am concerned about starting the year off too hard and being burned out when it's getting closer to IMFL. Each month I am building up until I start my 20 week plan in June.
Another focus is weight loss. I am down 11 lbs. in my quest to lose 25 lbs. Edited by Blueraiderzone 2011-03-02 12:51 PM | |
