And the "base" phase begins...

So each six weeks of my training program focuses on something. The first six weeks was called the "adaptation phase" and it basically got my body used to training for six days of the week. I must admit, it wasn't really that difficult. I don't think I'll be saying that about the next six weeks! This current six week period will focus on my aerobic base--which I can already tell is getting stronger. This morning I did my usual 70 minute turbo trainer (indoor cycling, basically) and for the first time, felt like I could've easily gone longer. I swam 2,750 yards yesterday and Tracy commented that my stroke looks a lot stronger than it did even a couple of weeks ago.

If anyone reading this thinks they are unable to do an Ironman race, I will tell you that's a bunch of bullcrap--I am getting stronger, and if I can, YOU can!!
