A really, really, really long time!

So I initially planned this blog to be a record of my training for IMLP on July 22nd 2007. While that day has come and gone and guess what? I am an Ironman. I'll attempt to post my Race report (which is finished ) soon. My question now is What's Next. I have a very young family Baby Swiss is a mere 14 months. Ironman number 2 may have to wait until after baby 2 (not coming yet). So how does one top Ironman without doing Ironman?

NAME MY RIDE

In my free time of being sick, procrastinating on report cards, and having a recovery week I've decided that my faithful bike needs a name. Since we will be spending even more time together in training and on race day I feel it deserves a SWEET name. So tell me what you think. It can be a boys name or a girls name help me out here.

I could go with quickly rejected baby names like Frank, Fritz, Hank, or an real easy one like Blue, or I could steal one from the movies like Eleanor (Gone in 60 Seconds). Can't you tell I really need your help.
Name My Ride!

Recovery Week

Last week was another great week of training. So far so good. I feel that my swim is really coming along. I did 2950 metres one workout which is the furthest I've swam. So life is good. This week is a recovery week Whoo Hooo! It came at a good time. My daughter is sick. Being a baby everything goes into her mouth and she is on the move. with a cold, and there is a Strep throat/Flu/Cold viruses ripping through my classroom! My body thanks to Cold FX is putting up a good fight. But even the powers of the magic ginseng in Cold FX can't stop the sore throat. So all I can do is keep washing my hands and hope for the best. Big snowstorm hit here last night time to shovel.
