Ironman Louisville : Official Thread (Page 17)

Hi there! Welcome to the thread! You should log your workouts too!

BT is awesome.  When you start blogging, it will be more fun.  It's hard to leave someone an inspire me when their blog is empty.

Louisville 08 was my first IM.  Although the course is difficult the finish line is worth it.

So at this point most people should have started their training!  So are we having fun yet? 

if you havent' figured it out yet...  Ignore my tips,, they are pretty worthless,, amusing maybe,, unlike bacon which tastes good all the time, and is a key training aid

wait.. WHat,,, doesnt the training I did last year count... I have to do it all again,,, I thought I retained it ??     I officially start in april

Why should everyone have started their plans?  It's 26 weeks out.  Obviously you should be upping the training and be getting some good miles in, but i wasn't planning on starting until 20 weeks out.

I think what John is saying is, "I've up my training....now up yours!"

J/K.

I think 26 weeks is too long to be on specific training program.

Mine doesn't start until 17 weeks out.  That's the first week of May.  At the moment I'm training for NO 70.3.  Then a month off - April.  Then start IMKY training.

The important thing to remember is that everyone here may have different goals and some of us may have another A race early in the season which we are training for.  The important thing is that we all show up healthy and ready to go for IM Lou. . .   How we get there is an individual journey. 

Everyone that is training, keep up the good work. . and for those about to start, get after it and have fun. 

x2  Don't worry about other people's training.  We're all different and have different goals. 

Hello everyone.  I hust wanted to jump in and announce myself.  IMKY will be my first IM.  Official training started yesterday.  I am in Charlotte NC so if anyone else in the area is doing IMKY let me know.  Its good to see the commaraderie on this site and I look forward to being a part of it.

See you sll at the start if not before.

x3....what she said....bring the sauna!!

Oooh, that reminds me of my favorite fish joke.

Q.  What did the fish say when he swam into a concrete wall?

RE your question...sometimes you're the windshield and sometime you're the bug.  For me, enery level seems to be a big factor in the pool.  If I go for a really long bike and run on the weekend, my Monday pool performance suffers.
