http://daviddaggett.wordpress.com "Ironman" as a metaphor for daily living and personal growth Wed, 02 Dec 2009 22:14:00 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 http://daviddaggett.wordpress.com/why-ironman/#comment-210 Jim Scott Tue, 15 Sep 2009 18:50:33 +0000 http://daviddaggett.wordpress.com/?page_id=118#comment-210 David, Good to hear the 13 plan works! Here's the plan as of now...build slowly from now until Spring. Currently I do a regular ride on Saturdays of about 50 to 55 miles, the bike is my best, plus running 3 to 4 times a week (15 to 20 miles). The swimming has virtually stopped since the 70.3 in June, but I plan to start back this month going at least once a week just to get the feeling back and work on form. I'm signed up for a 1/2 marathon in Oct with continued running and a ride when the weather cooperates (I live in Holland and the Dutch winters are a bit messy). Next year I plan on doing another 1/2 marathon in March, followed by a full marathon (Rotterdam) in April. I would have about a month before the 13 program kicks in and I would continue the swimming build up and riding. The marathon is more of a mental hurdle and I should have plenty of time to recover before the plan begins. Then it's Ironman Louisville on Aug 29. It would be great to hear your thoughts. Thanks for taking the time. I've really enjoyed the site. -Jim David,
