My goal for this years build up as it is for physical appeal is to look similar to Mr. Luc! Not real sure how to get there but I guess if there is a will there is surely a way.
To date I have changed my eating habits as I have cut sugar from my diet since IM Canada. I have done sporatic running since then and some weights. On Nvember 4 my training will begin to attack Ironman Canada for the fourth time and Ironman for the sixth. I love this silly sport as it brings a goal to my physical life and some direction. It makes me not sit and watch tv and it makes me take my family to nice locations. I plan this year to not only write in my blog at least once a week but also to develop training camps at certain times throughout the year. I want to goto the mountains at least three times. Probably only two day camps but with 7 hour rides per day. This year will be very challenging again as I am back in school taking on a new career as an electrician. I worked in the canola food buisness for 11 years and then moved to Alberta with my wife and kid. I am taking the first year from home while I work but 40+ hours of work followed by study, going to be some really early mornings on the trainer and dark mornings of running. If you are looking for a really great blog look at www.gordoworld.com he has some great insite and also make sure you listen to www.ironmantalk.com as they are two amazing guys that have alot of great guests and information. Also for your drinking needs try out www.coffeesofhawaii.com it probably is the best coffee in the world with also the best service ever.
On a final note I am trying to start up a coaching service for the new Ironman athletes. It will be based on freil's ideas with some others mixed in! Also I will be putting up my IM Canada race report soon!
