And so it begins. Day one of my six month plan to get in somewhat decent shape for Ironman Canada in August 2006.
Most of my swim workouts are at the Los Banos del Mar Pool. LB is a beautiful 50 meter pool located at the Santa Barbara Harbor. We have an awesome Masters program with morning and evening workouts. This morning was a typical "Challenge Wednesday" 1600 meters warmup. Main set: 4x100m @ 1:25, 200m @ 3:00, 3x100m @ 1:20, 4x50m @ 1 min, 2x100m @ 1:25, 200m @ 3:00, 1x 100m @ 1:15, 5x50m @ 1 min. Scotty, Dave, and Jane are my lane mates. They are REAL swimmers. I just hang on.
This evening run: 2 mile warmup, 4 miles tempo @ 7:15, 2 mile warmdown
About Me
- Stuart Sato
- Santa Barbara, CA
- I started this blog as a training log during my preparation for Ironman Canada in 2006. Check out my 2006 entries if you want to know what kind of training it takes me to gear up for an Ironman race. I swim, bike, run, race triathlons, dabble in mountain bike races, and even an occasional adventure race. I just got myself a standup paddleboard so look for me on the water. I enjoy the challenge of racing but most of all I love the slow burn of a long day training.
