The Road to Louisville

And so it begins.....


I just finished reading a few posts about my last Ironman experience and realized I need to begin documenting the road to this next race.  2014 was an off year with racing for me due to our wedding in Telluride (which replaced Ironman Zurich as the greatest day of my life) and a nagging knee injury.  We decided to shake things up this year and hire a new coach with a greater emphasis on the use of metrics like heart rate and power for training.  This is our first week and I can already tell the training will be tougher but hopefully that pays off on race day.


Jen and made a decision to compete in another Ironman in Louisville, KY.  Why Louisville?  The access to all of the distilleries after the race of course.  Actually it came down to three things, fall race so better temps, favorable course, and ability to drive there with our bikes and gear.  Zurich was great but a lot of logistics and cost involved. 


Looking forward to a great year of training, one day at a time.
