Yesterday kicked off 16 weeks to IM Arizona

Yesterday we started back on the training plan for IM Arizona with an easy 2 hour ride...we thought. We took a new route which you can see below and ended up having to really work. It took us two and a half hours to finish.



Today we meet at 4:15am at gym for our Monday morning swim and 40 minutes of abs and lifting. I think I already pulled a glut on the squat machine.

8/1/08 - We signed up for SOMA!!! - Chris

What's SOMA? Well this is our warm up race for IM Arizona. The race in a 1/2 IM distance race in Tempe one month before IM Arizona. The swim is 1.2 miles in the same lake, the ride is 56 miles on the opposite side of the lake but with a similar profile and the run is 13.1 miles that are close to the IM course.

This will give us a chance to gauge where we are in the training. I am hoping I can put together a sub 6 hour race.
