Website design By BotEap.comHere is an example of how I changed training plans from year to year. Physical training for a second Ironman triathlon followed a similar seasonal path to that of the previous year. Unlike Ironman Utah when I approached the race like project management, the Ironman Coeur d’Alene (CDA) training commitment didn’t consume my life, just training time. After all the mental effort of thinking about Ironman Utah from registration to race day, Ironman CDA flowed through my mind like just another triathlon.

Website design By BotEap.comBecoming an Ironman required following a process rather than managing a project. Trainings, part of the process. Motivation to complete training and compete in the race, parts of the process. Swimming training with a group of Masters, competing with others, and a supportive family; all parts of the process. Challenging my body physically and mentally were more components of the process.

Website design By BotEap.comHowever, the training template from the previous year I added an extra day of swimming when possible and a 50-60 mile bike ride midweek, early in the morning, from the Arizona State University campus to Fountain. Hills and vice versa to climb additional bikes. Specific weight lifting exercises for arms, back, stomach and legs were also added. During the training timeline, mileage increased, stabilized, and decreased. I did five races while improving training before the Ironman CDA to gain some speed, build stamina, participate in pre-race mental preparation, and gain experience to deal with race day anxieties. I followed the talk of working out the 13 week training plan until Ironman.
