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....

Ride for 3 hours. Felt unbelievable. No power yet, but I feel like I have reached another level aerobically, despite the easy riding and low volume. I've also been gradually raising my cadence. Tonight I was at 88rpm instead my usual 80. 60.37 miles. 184w.
