Weekly Review - IM New Orleans

I got through a very busy week at work. As I mentioned in my previous post this was User Conference week and it was pretty crazy. The conference went great but I was physically and mentally exhausted on Friday.


I ended up with a light workout week but I was happy with what I got in considering work.

• Cycling - 2 hours
• Running - 2 hours
• Swimming - 40 minutes
• Weights - 1.5 hours

My training for IM New Orleans officially starts tomorrow. I'm going to use a base half ironman plan from http://www.endurancenation.us/ and then modify the plan slightly to incorporate more running. The endurance nation plans are typically pretty heavy on the bike (which I like) but I feel like I need to run more this year to have a solid race at IM Florida. New Orleans is a very important race to me as several of my family members are going to the race and this will be the first time for them to see me in a triathlon so I have to put on a good show :).

On a side note, Jennifer's marathon is on Dec 14th and she is ready. I'm looking forward to going to the race and supporting her. She's done a great job hauling the kids to all of my races over the years so now it's her turn and me and the boys are up for the challenge. We are going to do our best to follow her around the course and keep her motivated.

Let the countdown to New Orleans begin......
