Ironman Utah 11 weeks away

As far as winters go in Barrie, On. it hasn't been too bad. Last Saturday we got the mountain bikes out & rode the bare asphalt streets. My Tri friends and i were thinking spring might just come early, then it snowed last night. Might even have to use the snow blower. My training partner has been wonderful. We have remained committed to our strength training & core ripping.
This Sunday Shawn Patton & I venture to Peterborough to run the annual half marathon race. I running it for the long sleeve t-shirt. So how do i get ready for Utah. How do you simulate Utah? I refuse to run on flat ground. Hill repeats and hilly routes. Even that won't truly prepare me for Utah.

Both Sides Up

My wife & I have been faithfully working out since the new year and have invested in some key workout equipment. Saturday, we purchased a BOSU ball (sometimes referred to as a half moon ball). It is absolutely amazing how many hundreds of different exercises you can do with this piece of apparatus. The core is the chore. More later. Jamie. The dog is asking for her morning walk.
