Ironman
It's been a while since I've blogged. It's been busy lately.
I've decided to train for Ironman next year at Bussleton. It's going to be a very long race. The aim is to actually finish the race within 17 hours.
Last week, I went for a swim just to see if I can actually swim the distance required. The swim leg is 3.8km open water. I swam 4km in a lap pool and it wasn't too bad at all. It took me 1 hr 25 mintues.
The bike leg is 180km ride. I went for three ride this week totalling 140kms and the bottom is pretty sore. More time on the seat is required for pain endurance on the butt.
Run could be interesting. Having the ability to keep running after the two legs. I went for 16km run today after 40km ride today and I was pretty tired. Need more engery stores in my muscles.
But overall, I think training is going well.
