My 10-10-10 Marathon

dan-run-01

4 weeks post Ironman, the family and I headed to Chicago for a nice relaxing weekend in windy city.  Well, maybe not a relaxing weekend.  The Chicago Marathon is one of the largest Marathons.  Close to 50,000 people running, and who knows how may spectators? This marathon was somewhat stress free.  I didn't have a whole lot of time and miles wrapped up in it, and didn't really have any … [Read more...]

Good luck in Chicago

chicago

At first you would think, "Luck"  what the hell are you talking about?  I have been training for months, there's no luck involved, it is all about the training.  Well in all honesty training will only get you so far.  In multisport there are just too many variables that could ruin a race.  This is where luck comes in... I could eat the same pop tarts every morning for a year, but come race … [Read more...]

9 Paceline Rules

Ironman Wisconsin 2010 Race Report

dan-imwi-run-banner

All my eggs in one basket. That's how to sum up Ironman Wisconsin.  Training for an ironman was one thing I had no experience at.  A 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike and a 26.2 mile run, all put together in one event.  I remember watching the Ironman World Championship on TV 4-5 years ago when I just got into triathlon.  I thought to myself, there was no way I could ever do such that distance. … [Read more...]

sunset

We had another great night at New City tonight! The weather held off for us again-on my way home, I found that it had rained in Rochester, but not on the course! Thanks to my good friend Dave Loyd for coming down from Morton to participate tonight! We loaned him a Cervelo & he tore up the course! We all ate some dust & bugs, as the farmers were picking corn right next to the road. … [Read more...]

Less than one week

tt-bike-marboro

It is amazing how quickly one year has passed since I registered for Ironman Wisconsin. Now the hours are trickling away and there is nothing else to do but wait for the gun to go off. I am very nervous even though I know I am ready.  I have had a year of stellar training, and working with Eric Bean on a late season training plan has really reassured my readiness. This week I will be … [Read more...]

Wednesday New City TT

Hey everyone! Well, the weather was with us again! It was sprinkling lightly with a slight wind at the start.
