What is Next?

Perhaps I am jumping ahead with this post since I haven't posted my Ironman Canada race report yet. The truth is, my race report is ready to go but I have some people I want to share the details with in person before they read it on my blog. I will say that my Ironman Canada experience was fantastic and a repeat is in the works.

Today I committed to doing a Half Marathon and a Marathon before the end of the year. My coach and I had chatted before Ironman about the importance of having a goal after Ironman. He said that I would recover quickly and be ready for something else in a couple of weeks. I was not totally sold on this. The amazing thing is that I feel really good. All that training time has really paid off, not just on race day but in my recovery. If the weather is good tomorrow, I plan do so a short ride with The SAA (in my Ironman finisher gear of course!)

Here are two races I have registered for:


















I am looking forward to running with The SAA again to train for these events. See you all out on the roads!
Happy Training!

I am excited that you have registered for your next races! I did the same thing already and haven't done my IM yet (IMWI). I'm also looking forward to the race report for IMC.

|ronman Canada Race Report - Part 6 (Final Report but just the beginning)

Run – 42.2kms – 5:11:09 The run was slow and basically went as planned. The first 3kms of the run are in and around the finish line. When I was at about the 2km mark, I could hear Jordon Rapp, the race winner giving his victory interview with Steve King. How crazy is that??!! I have 40kms to go on the run and the winner has finished. As I headed out of town and down Main Street I saw www.twitter.com/kelownagurl and her husband Erik cheering me on. Not more than 50 feet later I saw www.twitter.com/trifunster and her husband. I was running slowly but had a smile on my face and felt pretty good. I was not really concerned about the distance I had to cover still. I was pretty excited that I had now finished the swim and the bike and was now on the run. It was like being in a dream how quickly the time had passed during the day. Around 9kms into the run I started to feel the distinct tightness of my right IT Band. I had ITB 10 years ago when I first started to run marathons but t...

April Fools 1/2 Marathon Plus 15km cool down

After my minor breakdown at work on Friday, I set off on Saturday for Sechelt.  I have run the April Fool's Half Marathon two times and this was my third time.  It never fails to be hilly and hard.   Sunday morning I started off at in Gibsons ready to run to Mission Point Park.  I took it very conservatively knowing that I would be adding another 15kms on at the end of the 'race'.   I crossed the finish line, collected my medal, filled my water bottles, ate a  piece of bagel and a bite of banana and kept running west.   I do not recommend running your longest run before a marathon in Sechelt if you are not used to hills.  That place is full of 12-15% grades both up and down. At the end of the day, I ran from 9:17am - 2pm with a few quick breaks to refill bottles, eat gels and take few rocks out of my shoes.   After a shower and some real food, I was back on the ferry to North Vancouver.  Reward:  Whit...
