IM 70.3 FL Preview
by rchackman
You gotta love the first race of a new season. With that being said, there are a lot of UNKNOWNS for me going into this race. Normally, I would build up to a half-ironman and race some sprints and olympic distance tris to test my fitness level. Not this time!
I signed up for this race 5 months ago thinking that I would have the time to recover from my iron-distance race in January and then some. However, my 2012 season plan is based on Great Floridian in October. If you have noticed, I only began “serious” training last week. My offseason (jan 9 – may 10) looked something like 6 workouts and around 6 hours a week. In essence, I actually have no idea where my fitness level is at. I know I am nowhere near peak shape. So where am I when it comes to endurance and speed? I really have no idea.
I will find out a lot about my current fitness level this Sunday at Ironman 70.3 Florida. This is also somewhat scary as well! I wonder how much fitness is left over from last season? Hopefully enough to get me across that finish line. That brings me to GOAL #1 for this race; cross the FINISH line !
All the best to you!!
Jill, race went well ! I thought I published this Saturday but apparently never pressed “Publish”. However, i did see one good race sign that i though you would like. It read “Chuck Norris never did an Ironman”. I thought of your site when I ran by it.
Great to hear the race went well.
And I LOVE it when people think of me!
And you did so well considering!! Almost beat me 😉
haha thanks ! You did a great job out there !
You can do it! Run! Bike! Swim! I’m inspired. 🙂
Glad you did well! Congrats!
Thank you !
