6 Weeks to Ironman

From Corey

The countdown has begun. There are only 6 week remaining until the Ironman Arizona and on the same day, I find out if I made the lottery for the Ironman in Hawai'i. Things are getting serious now. Training is coming along. I begin my peak training period for the next 3 weeks and then start my taper period. I am up to about 25-30 miles a week running, 75-100 miles a week biking and about 6000 yards a week swimming. It is amazing to see where I was only a year ago when I started training for the Vineman 70.3 in Santa Rosa. A year ago this week, I only swam 3000 yards, biked 32 miles, and ran 8 miles for the entire week. Crazy. I can see the improvement. I am finding new ways to challenge myself and found that I am getting faster and having more endurance. The key here is patience. I will keep you posted...
