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....

Saturday: 120 mile bike; 2 mile swim; abs
2 mile swim in the morning. Then came home and took a nap. Then onto the bike. 5:30 with a HR cap of 138bpm. 120 miles. 230w. 135bpm. I felt like I was ready to explode for most of the ride. It took a lot of discipline to stay below the cap. By the end of the ride, however, I definitely wanted to get off. 3-4 hours is fine. 5+ hours is still a long time no matter the effort/pace. My ass was hurting.

What is your race number pimp?
Isn't your race in a week? Don't you feel that 120 miles is a bit much for right before the race? What is your tapering strategy?
