Training Update: 1st Taper

Freedom Run 10K: 4th Place Overall

It’s been a while since my last post, and nothing too exciting has been happening. I am currently gearing up for Ironman Wisconsin in 10 days, and taper has officially started.

Lake Coeur d'Alene, Idaho: Mile 19/20

2 weeks ago I finished my last 20 mile run, and last weekend I completed my first (and only) 100 ride. I haven't been as good about getting the longer workouts in this season and with Ironman Louisville as my A race 6 weeks out, I will not be doing a complete taper. I plan on partially tapering down for IMWI, but will be using it as a building block going into IMLOU.

I don’t normally share my personal goals before a race, but here is what I want to realistically achieve.

1.    Top 10 Age Group finish

2.    Finish under 10:20 for both a course and Ironman PR

3.    Improve swim from last year (1:05)

4.    Hold 20mph on the bike

5.    Run under 3:30
