Here we go!!!!

Today was the first day of official training for Ironman Canada. I am in the first week of my Prep phase. My goals for the next 4 weeks are to:

• Finalize my training plan
• Identify 1 goal per 4 week block
• Do a fitness test at the end of the 4 weeks in swimming, biking and running
• Identify any obstacles that I may encounter in the next 34 weeks and minimize their impact upon training
• Figure out my weekly regular schedule

I am excited. Today was pretty much a recovery day for me because of the 1/2 marathon yesterday. But i am feeling much better today. My calf still has a knot in it and so does my quad as I discovered but other than my toe that has a weird blister type thing on it it's not too bad.

So my schedule for this week is:

Monday: Bike 120 min, Stretch 15, Core 30

Tuesday: Bike 90 min, Swim 90 min, TKD 60 min (Optional: Stretch 15, Run 30)

Wednesday: Swim 60 minutes (Optional: Ride 60 minutes)

Thursday: Bike 90 min, Swim 90 min, TKD 60 min (Optional: Stretch 15, Run 30)

Friday: Rest

Saturday: Bike 90 minutes

Sunday: Run 60 min
