145 LBS.!!! Part II: The Gap
Losing all this weight is a nice side benefit from training so much. But one downside is now all my pants don’t fit me! I dropped one more inch off my waist so I went over to Gap and bought a boatload of new pants from them. I can only hope that I maintain this…

IM Brazil: Recovery +5, +6 Days
This year my recovery from Ironman is moving at a rapid pace. At my first Ironman (NZ), it took me 6 weeks to fully recover. Last year at IM Austria, it took me 4 weeks. And this time, I think it will be less than 4 weeks. On Friday, I went for a swim and…

145 LBS.!!!
I just weighed myself this morning (Sunday after Ironman Brazil, one week later) and I’m a whopping 145 lbs.! At NYC Marathon last year, I weighed in at 147 lbs. And now with all this training, I’ve dropped another 2 lbs. at race time. Amazing! At least I don’t have to drag another 2 lbs…

My That’s a Big Poplitius You Have…
Or is that a poplitius in your pocket or are you just happy to see me? I went to my Graston physical therapist on Friday and I told her about some pain I was having in the back of my knee. She starts touching the area behind there and I yelp in pain as she…

IM Brazil: The Adventure Hasn’t Ended Yet
I have found that international Ironmans often don’t end after the race. Sometimes, it is an Ironman quality effort to get home afterwards, and Brazil was no exception. I think the whole country’s national pasttime is waiting in lines. Unfortunately, it means that all your 21st century sensibilities on how much time you need to…

IM Brazil: Next Steps
Post-race I am thinking of these things to work on: 1. I’m still having trouble running off the bike for Ironman. I need to examine brick workouts and training for a fast Ironman shuffle in cases where my legs are not able to run with my normal stride and technique. 2. I need to continue…

IM Brazil: Departure, Schwag-o-rama, Recovery
Yet another sunny but chilly day in Florianopolis, in contrast to race day which was relatively cloudy and a bit drizzly at times. I don’t think I felt warm at any time here in Floripa at all despite the deceptiveness of the clear blue skies and sun. This morning I woke at 630a to go…

IM Brazil: The Day After
Waking up the morning after Ironman is always a sore affair. You think you’re ok until you swing your legs off the bed and take a step. Ugh! But what can you do. At least this time, it’s a bit less sore than last time. That’s the good thing about doing multiple Ironmans; every time…

IM Brazil: Race Report!
Race morning! I gather up the stuff I need for the day and head down to grab the shuttle over to transition. I take a chance and throw my cellphone and digital camera in my bag because I like to take pictures before and after the race. Also, Scott asks me to call his wife…

IM Brazil: Last Word After Dinner
Just got back from yet another dinner full of pasta and lots more salt loading. The food has been really good and somehow they figured out how to make bulk chicken without drying it out and making it taste like cardboard. I focused on putting down more carbs, probably the most carbo-loading I have ever…

IM Brazil: Dropping off the bike and race bags
Views of my room, my race stuff almost ready to go: Dropping off the bike and my bags at T1 and T2. This year they have volunteers putting on our bike numbers. Also, views of the bag pickup racks and changing area for men. The incredible staff of EST, without whom we would be hopelessly…
