The first of week of training went well. The trick is to go slow and repeat the mantra 'take it easy.' Today marked my first long run - a shade under 8km. I know it hardly qualifies as a long run, as in a few short months my long runs will be 30k+.. but it's a start. The body feels good and I'm not sore. All positive signs.
Here is my tentative racing schedule for 2006:
June 18. Muskoka. (2k swim, 55k bike and a 15k run) This will be my first race of the season and I'm also hoping to qualify for IronMan Canada.
June 25 Guelph (1.5k swim, 38k bike and a 10k run)
July 9 Peterborough (2k swim, 90k bike and 21k run) This race provides a second opportunity to qualify for IMC. If I qualify in Muskoka, I'll probably pass on this one.
Aug 6 Belwood (1k swim, 33k bike 7k run)
Aug 27 IronMan Canada in Penticton BC. (3.8k swim 180k bike and a 42k run)
Some things still have to fall in place in order for me to do IMC. However, I have spousal approval and as anyone who has done an IM knows - this is a huge. So hats off to Mrs. IronMan errr.. IronWoman, my wife, Sally.
