As a way to document my training for ????? Ironman Kentucky - Big Kahuna Half Ironman - New York Marathon.

You pick it ;)

People say to me - "It is easy for you" but a lot goes into being able to do what I do and sometimes I am not even sure I do what I do well but I guess well enough.

Let's start with Metrics - today I weighed in at 173.6 about 20lbs heavier than my lightest weight and 77 pounds lower than my highest weight. I have been hovering around 175 since the beginning of the year.

I feel that 165-170 is proper race weight for me. I have a major race coming up in 9 days. Escape from Alcatraz Relay (running of course). Means I need to drop at least another 3lbs by next Saturday.

My goal at Alcatraz will be to at least match my friend John Thomas' time of 49:10 for the 8 mile course.

I practiced at pace this morning - 58:34. Last Sunday when I was learning the course it took me 1 hour 14 minutes.

There is so room for improvement but not bad considering I had no one to pace off of or chase.
