Since I completed the Triple Bypass with no issues despite super minimal training, I decided to go ahead and attempt one of my goals:
- Complete an Ironman before turning 30
So, foolishly, I registered for next year's Ironman Boulder, which takes place on August 7th, 2016. I have no idea how I'll even work this into my med school schedule, but basically I just need to make sure I'm on a hella easy rotation with weekends off during that time. Super bonus points if I don't need to walk/stand on the Monday after. :D
As far as training for that, I have no idea! I looked into a few training plans, and honestly, it doesn't look that bad. It's just exercising for an hour or two most days, with a long run/bike/swim on the weekend. Honestly, it's not too far fetched from my normal life, except I throw in a lot of things other than run/bike/swim into the mix (skiing, climbing, hiking, soccer, even yoga sometimes). In any case, for now, I'm just going to keep my fitness level up by running and bike commuting and stuff. Starting next year, I need to learn how to swim efficiently and actually spend some time doing it.
