By The Numbers - 2015

Its hard to believe but its race week already.  I signed up for Ironman Mont Tremblant on March 16, 2015 (right before it sold out) but started training back on January 2nd.  I swear the summers go by faster and faster when training for Ironman.  

Although this is my third Ironman, it is the first time I've gone self-coaching.  Like everything in life, there are pros and cons with coaching.  By going on my own, I can take the best of each previous coach's plan and apply it.  The downside is the self doubting sets in.  "I didn't run enough" or "I should have done more strength training"

Below is the tally of my training.  For 2012 and 2014, I used different coaches

		2012	2014	2015
Swim	Distance	44.2*	151.2	168.0
	Hours	59:56:00	62:45:00	71:34:00
Bike	Distance	3,897**	4,122	4,482
	Hours	173:33:00	150:22:00	162:46:00
Run	Distance	504	767	559
	Hours	62:11:00	76:03:00	56:31:00
Strength	Hours	15:23:00	26:44:00	20:45:00

* Didn't keep track of distance until July 

** Powertap wasn't tracking mileage properly while riding indoors

At least the weather looks half decent.  Two weeks ago, it was calling for 80% rain.  But it looks like there's going to be a nasty headwind riding out to the turn around point on Highway 117 on the second loop.
