And it starts....

We are officially in Ironman and Half Ironman training, folks!! Mike had a riveting first day on the 31st which consisted of "rest."

Today, however...is a different story.

An hour on the bike...

For those of you who understand bike lingo...here's what was on tap today...

10 minute easy warm up (fast spin 95+RPM w/ HR at Z1-Z2)
6x20 second single leg drill, 10 second recovery
3x30 sec fast spin, 30 sec easy
3x40 sec fast spin, 20 sec easy
3x20 sec fast spin, 40 sec easy
3x30 sec fast spin, 30 sec easy
8x2 minute steady spin at HR Z2, 2 minute easy between each set
10 minute cool down

The rest of week 1 consists of 2 days of swimming for 1600 yards, running 2h 15m (do you know how cold it is here?!) and another long bike ride on Sunday (but no drills included).

We've only been able to preview the first four weeks of our plan and everything seems attainable at this junction...just have to bite it off bit by bit and not get overwhelmed. You can follow Mike's training on the log our coach set up here. Once he completes a workout it'll show up on the calendar for all to view. Pretty sweet, eh?
