Week 3: Happy Thanksgiving! What Ironman?

So week 3 was all about giving thanks, being with family, and lots of eating and drinking. I did run a little as well.

Big News...Dennis and I got engaged - woohoo!

Random Note....I cut 10 inches off my hair and donated it to Locks of Love

Condition: Refreshed

Week 2: Realizing my need for a better plan

Week 2 was all about figuring out how to fit everything into one day. The hardest part of training so far isn't the distances, it's fitting 2 disciplines of training into one weekday. I am going to need to figure out how I can fit one training session in before work or during lunch and plan to do the second session after work.

This is a picture of our coached swim workout. Coach Nancy is awesome! She's all about the drills and good form.

I did not accomplish all of this...
Swim: 120 minutes

Bike: 300 minutes

Run: 85 minutes
Strenth Train: 80 minutes

Condition: Tired

Week 1: Kickoff & Ironteam University

Week 1 started with an entire day dedicated to Kickoff and Ironteam Univerity. We went through gear, nutrition, life balance, training calendars, technique, and strength training. I've already made lots of new and old connections with teammates. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that one of my teammates is from my hometown in Michigan AND we both went to Michigan State, just one year apart! Small world huh?

Swim: 50 minutes
Bike: 240 minutes

Run: 135 minutes
Strengh Train: 80 minutes
