Like the title says...I am 15 weeks out from my 15th Ironman (Ironman Arizona in Tempe, Az.).
I just finished a 3 week mid season break in which I got to cut back to ONLY 9 workouts per week vs. the usual 15-16. Last week was a transission week...getting back into the heavier work load. This week the real fun begins. The training time will jump back into the 19-23 hour a week zone, the training days will get longer and the training intensity will increase.12 weeks of suffering followed by 3 weeks of tapering and then the big day...November 20th.
The goal is to go under 9:50 on race day and punch my ticket to the Hawaii Ironman World Championships (2012).
