Swim smart, ride strong, run tough" - Gordo Byrn. Wednesday, July 7, 2010. Ironman Coeur d'Alene - The Race. And now time for that race report…. Got the body markings done first thing then headed to the bikes to find Jared and pump up tires. Jared being a CDA veteran reminded us not to fully inflate the tires as they had a tendency to start cool then heat up later and blow out. Great tip! 34 of 250 in M45-49. They spent 30 minutes fearing that I had dropped out or had some problem. It wasn’t un...As I ma...

Swim smart, ride strong, run tough" - Gordo Byrn. Monday, August 3, 2009. Heading into the last big week of training before the taper begins. This is week is number 27 of a 30 week plan. Wow already? Just finished up the 2nd to last big weekend of training so only one more long ride and run left. Saturday morning a few storms rolled through town which pushed things back a bit. Eric and I were going to meet at the Bike Stop. A note on nutrition:. I'm still trying to get a better handle on the energy requi...

Swim smart, ride strong, run tough" - Gordo Byrn. Wednesday, October 7, 2009. Apparently we are back to training. Out 6 miles to the turn around in about 8:38 pace and then finished the run at 8:25 per mile average. My heart rate was vey hight the entire run and I guess that's not surprising considering we're just getting back into the swing of things. Note* Don't dare mention how beautiful the sunrise is while running with a bunch of smart a$ guys. You are just asking for abuse! So this week I'm going e...

Swim smart, ride strong, run tough" - Gordo Byrn. Monday, April 26, 2010. It's always fun to get new stuff even if it puts a small dent in your bank account. This weekend to go along with some quality training, Saturday afternoon I picked up some new HED 6 wheels to race with this year. And they are SWEET! Ride: 75.93 miles, 4:02:41, 137 avg hr. Run: 5.54 miles, 45:38, 144 avg hr. A good run and nice to have some company. Run: 13 miles, 1:49:18, 144 avg HR. Tuesday, April 20, 2010. Here are a couple cell...

Swim smart, ride strong, run tough" - Gordo Byrn. Tuesday, November 24, 2009. 20% Chance of Dry. I fully expected to wake to rain this morning being that the local weather guru's forcast was an 80% chance of rain. So I had the rain jacket set out just in case, turned out I didn't need it after all. Even though it was only about 45* this morning, it seemed warm, I guess due to the little bit of humidity in the air. Run Stats: 6 miles, 50:01 (8:19/mi), avg HR 147. Thursday, November 19, 2009. It was a pret...

Swim smart, ride strong, run tough" - Gordo Byrn. Tuesday, June 22, 2010. Thirty weeks of training seems to go by faster and faster every year I do this. Surprising too because this year has been a real challenge to get the training in with the crazy weather all through the winter and spring. This year more than previous years just seemed to have more cold and rain on the weekends then I can remember. Again this year my training buddy Jared pulled me through some tough workouts and it's been really great...

Swim smart, ride strong, run tough" - Gordo Byrn. Wednesday, May 19, 2010. Ok so after a wet and cold weekend of training, the sun finally broke through making Tuesday a beautiful day. Actually got in a good run and could get by with just wearing shoes and shorts. The way a real run should be done! Didn't even wear the HRM chest strap). Here is how the workout looked. Friday, May 14, 2010. The numbers say I'm faster on the new wheels, but I felt slow riding last night. Maybe it was just being tired o...

Swim smart, ride strong, run tough" - Gordo Byrn. Thursday, July 1, 2010. I'm going start off by saying that this race was by far in the best location of the Ironman races I've done yet. Northern Idaho is simply beautiful. We spend a week every summer in Keystone, CO and Coeur d'Alene is just as beautiful but without the altitude. We dropped our stuff in the room and caught lunch then we hooked up with Hugh and his crew and headed over to the expo to get registered and checked in for the race. We wer...
