My goal is to train so that I can finish Ironman Florida '14 in under 10 hours. I finished in 10:12 and 10:14 respectively in '08 and '09. I haven't finished an Ironman since. I don't train like I used to. Not even close. Don't plan on it either. But think based on experience and a base built up over several years now, it is attainable. I plan to swim in 1:10; ride 5 hours, and run 3:40. This is my journey....

Friday: 56 mile bike; 1 mile run
Biked the Florida 70.3 course. 56 miles. Didn't wear a heart rate monitor again but rather just biked on feel, on what I felt like was an easy effort level. FL: 2:43:19; 201w; ###bpm; 84rpm; 20.6mph. I felt pretty good and feel as whatever was sapping my energy the past couple of weeks is now gone. But I'm going to keep riding easy for the remainder of the 4 week training block, which not including this one has only 2 weeks left. I did a 1 mile brick run afterwards, something which I am going to start incorporating after every bike ride in addition to my normal running just to get used to, perhaps more mentally than anything else, running off the bike.
