70.3 as well. But no info on why the International plan is soooo long?

At 3:03pm on July 17, 2009, James Tiesi said…: Hi Mike,
Presently using the Ultra Distance plan getting ready for Ironman Florida. Looking at the other plans I don't see a 70.3 distance plan. Do you recommend using the Ultra Distance Plan for that as well? Also I was wondering why the International training program is longer than the Ultra distance? seems like a lot of training for that distance? Thanks for the coaching!

I just got your IM 36 week program; I'm doing my first IM in Mexico Cozumel Nov. 29th 2009 and just have 23 weeks to race day. My last competition was a 1/2 IM in Nov. 2008 and since then not much training at all... Change work and move over China. Just wonder in which week I should start the programs as I just being biking and swimming randomly for just 1 week now.

thanks for having the vision to create such a site! A fellow team member, Sarah DalFol suggested that we use the site as a place for the team to communicate about workouts, insetad of lots of emails back and forth.

Have had to slow down due to fever, nausea etc... should I repeat the week or continue as niormal? Thanks for all your help. BTW I have not heard anything regarding the apparell in a while, any new news?

you sound like you have been doing this for awhile, I am registered for my first Ironman this fall in AZ and wondering what you would recommend as far as a training program and or coach?
thanks

At 3:40pm on January 28, 2009, Lou Otremba said…: Looks like you commented on one of my pics. Actually that was last year's bike. We tweaked the geometry a bit and went carbon fiber...custom Calfee tetras. Weighs in two lbs lighter and it much smoother. I had the one Mr. Scott rode in '94 and while it didn't fit great I did some of my best ever riding on it.

To answer your question...hell ya we're doing Columbia. It's a great race and I can sleep in my own bed the night before. I'm thrilled that this year it's 4 weeks out of Eagleman, usually it's only 3.

I have driven from Anchorage to Mexico before though. Went on a 6 month climbing roadtrip and drove from Anchorage to Mexico to Kentucky and back with lots in between..... Lots of driving.....
