My official training begins in a few weeks. I'm using the book "IronFit". Its a 30 week training schedule that will start on Feb 14th...awe valentines. Its been a trusted book by many triathletes for their first Ironman. Just started reading it, seems to be inline pretty well with the way I like to train. The book has you do a major race each 10 weeks. Each escalating in difficulty. So I think I have it pretty planned out.
Desert Triathlon: Sprint Distance March 5th
Wildflower Triathlon: Olympic Distance May 1st
Ironman Muncie 70.3: Half-Iron Distance July 9th
IRONMAN WISCONSIN! : Full Distance September 11th
So there it is. I was gonna do the Wildflower long distance. But my work schedule doesn't permit me to be ready for it. Plus after reading the book, It made more sense to do the Olympic. Muncie was a last minute addition. I was looking for a half Ironman during that time, and most of my teammates are doing Vineman 70.3...but I did that last year and wanted to try a new race. I found out that Muncie was just added to the 70.3 list, which is cool because most of my family is still in Indiana, so I get to drag them all out. So other than finding the best way to get my bike half way across the country, should be a lot of fun. It will be good practice for some Midwest racing before Wisconsin! I might even be able to convince my dad to run the sprint course! (hopefully dad you are reading this!)
