This is where it all starts! January 9th, baby - one day after 5 years sober and I am training for the Ironman! I couldn't me more excited. And terrified all in one.
I met with Cortino today, my new Ironman coach. We're doing 4 months of base training or "springboard" training as he likes to call it.
Goal #1: Loose 20 lbs by May 1.
I'm on a restricted diet for the next four months. 650 calories a day. 650! But there is a GOAL at the finish line, a reason to be hungry. The Ironman.
Goal #2: Get my marathon time to 4:30.
We're going to do a bunch of aqua-running in the meantime. And swimming 2x a week.
Tuesday the 20th Robbie and Cortino, along with Dr. Max Testa of the Retul bike fit technique, will re-fit my bike to me. It's absolutely necessary, so I'm going to do it. 112 miles is a long way to ride on a bike that doesn't quite fit. So I'm sucking it up and doing the re-fit.
So we're in and ready to go. Cortino is a rockstar and I can't wait to get started!
Here's hoping my back will hold up in the meantime.
