  • If you ask your body to keep doing the same things, you will get fitter and burn fewer doing the same workouts. We need to add intensity or duration or both in some measured way. 10% a week is the suggestion for both, 3 weeks build, then a week of recovery at 50%.

  • Leave them where they belong. In the past. No big deal. As for goggles, invest in a good pair. I use Zoog Flex Reactors.

  • There are lots of good anti chafing cremes. I use Button Hole and Udderly Smooth. It's an udder creme. Button Hole is very good. You can put some in your special needs bags for half way through the bike and run. Be liberal. I got back to the hotel after IM Moo II last year, sat down on the bed and left a red mark the size…

A friend just did 4/1 and completed Lake Placid with…

  • I started running in 2008. I was 57. I was down from 400 to about 250 by then and the bike wasn't enough anymore. I needed to cross train. So I ran and started swimming. I did my first triathlon in 2009. My first half IronMan in 2010. My first IronMan in 2011. (I knew I had a hernia then, it was the colon cancer that was a…
