The road to Ironman Mont-Tremblant in Quebec officially
starts for the FAANT girls this weekend. It’s finally time to admit that I
better get my butt in gear and get training a lot harder. Janet has been in
full gear for about 6 weeks or so….I’ve been lazy until the last two. Looking
at the calendar, we have only 20 weeks to go and the challenge is mighty! For
anyone who wants to laugh at us or is just curious, go to www.ironmanmonttremblant.com and
take a look at the elevations on the bike course. We must be out of our minds.
We live in almost the flattest state in the union, so we pick the Ironman with
the most hills we can find J
Today’s video blog is just a taste of what we have in store
for our friends! In two weeks, I am “participating” in the Ironman 70.3 in New
Orleans and this should be a good barometer of how poor my fitness is at this
point! Janet and I will be racing in the 70.3 in Buffalo Springs (Lubbock, TX)
at the end of June! Hopefully by then it won’t hurt so bad!
A 50 mile bike ride (Janet actually continued and did
something on the order of 100 miles) on Saturday followed by an hour or so open
water swim on Sunday with a short run afterwards sounds like a great Easter
weekend! Thanks go out to all our friends from Lake Grapevine Runners and
Walkers who joined us!
That’s all for now….I hope you enjoy this next adventure
with us.

Fantastic blog!!! So much great information from both the perspectives of a professional podiatrist and a triathlete. I came across it in a search for "first ironman blogs" and was actually considering the Mont-Tremblant IM 2013 for my first! (Fortunately, I live in Austin where we do have plenty of hills to practice on!).
I look forward to reading about y'alls experiences...
Good luck in NOLA! :-)
