2010 IronMan St. George

Taking place on May 1, 2010, the event will consist of a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike and 26.2-mile run. The inaugural Ford Ironman St. George will utilize a variety of Utah's scenery, including the Sand Hollow Reservoir, Snow Canyon and the Red Cliffs Desert Reserve.

That pretty much tells it all. I will be participating in the first Ironman in Utah with breathtaking scenery and weather, there just was no way I could pass this experience up. See you all in Utah in May 2010!

Happy St. Patricks Day


Yes, I had a very nice trip to Fort Walton Beach the first week and half of March. The weather was a bit cool but it warmed up by the time we left. I was to have started my second phase of Triathlon training on March 1st but I was in Florida. Now, did I follow my training guide..... er, ummm, no!
I did get some running (on the beach) and some swimming and of course some scuba diving in as well, therefore it wasn't all work and be lazy.

Yesterday I started my second phase of Triathlon training with a 45 minute swim which is about 1500 yards (.85 of a mile) and felt very good. Did some 300 yard intervals to push myself a bit and felt very good. Certainly not to the level of training so that I can move right to a long run, but I didn't feel the normal lethargic level of exhaustion that I used to feel after such a long swim. I guessing the P90X the last three months had something to do with this. Anyway, its a great start to the 20 week training plan. I do need to thank BeginnerTriathlete.com for the online training plans, its a great resource for new and seasoned Triathletes.

till next time
