First Week of Ironman Training

Week 1 done, it wasn't that bad but of course I had to pick my first week of training to catch a cold! Training comes with ups and downs.

So you ask, what part do I enjoy the most?

The running is easier than what I was doing in the RR - I am running to HR so going a little slow but I have tons more energy when I am done. I don't run distance I run to time and have to, HAVE TO, warm up and cool down before each run and this counts as part of the time. LOVE IT

Biking, well I like the biking. Did my first class Saturday morning @ 8 a.m. about 80 minutes then this week did 45 minutes in my basement with Ipod blaring (my hubbie laughs cause I sing out loud and apparently I am not that good, I thought I sounded great).

Swimming - quite like the new type of swimming I am doing TI, nice and relaxed.

My coaches are great and very helpful.

The only bad thing, am not spending as much time with my Goofies during the week as I would like my IFM training is taking over my weekends nights, but I knew this would happen and I don't get to sleep in as much as I use to, ok I won't get to for about 8 months.

However, still have decided on my race yet but I am betting it is going to be Sylvan Lake (if only they would get their registration open I am dying to sign up).
