OCTOBER 12, 2004:
This is going to be a short note because I am a
bit tired from all the stuff I had to do today.
Wednesday's always seem to be the busiest day of
Ironman week. I will make up for it with
tomorrow's journal.
Basically my day went like this:
6:15: Swam at the pool. It rained really hard
last night and the local thing is to not swim in
the ocean after a hard rain. The pool was a bit
crowded but luckily Steve the most amazing
Masters coach let us have a lane so that we
could get a hard swim in. Basically did a 1000
warm up followed by some hard 100s on short
rest. Then a short warm down.
7:30: Easy 30 minute run on Alii Drive. I was
in the total zone. It seems every workout that
I am doing I am getting more and more into the
zone. This is good!
10:00: Canadian conference call with LB and
Heather Fuhr.
11 - 12:30 Reebok, Specialized, Oakley, PowerBar
appearance at the Hawaiian Pedals bike store.
This is the first time that all my sponsors got
together for one big appearance. I am so
thankful that they agreed to work together. The
was a pretty good turn out and the people who
showed up got some good swag.
1 PM - 2:30: IronmanLive and NBC interview -
this always seems to take forever.
2:30 - 3 PM: Pulled some strings and was able to
register out of hours. Actually NBC pulled the
strings because the interview lasted a lot
longer than planned. Plus, they were running
behind schedule because the Bachelor guy
celebrity who is racing showed up an 1 1/2 late
for his interview so all the pros interviews got
bumped.
4:30 - 5 PM: High cadence spin on bike
5 -
6:00:
massage
Diner then Alias and in bed by 8:30!
