New Training Plan

So after training on my own since November, I decided that I needed a coach.  You ask why?  My thinking behind it is this, 140.6 miles is a long freaking ways.  A 2 mile swim have done already,  112 miles on the bike I can build up to and sure I have run several marathons but put the three together over 12-14 hrs and without the proper training you (I) will have one long day.  I have invested a rather large amount of money not to mention time and come race day I would like to complete this race with a very respectable time for 40 yrs old and it being my first ironman.  This brings me to me 1st week of my new training plan with my coach.  Two workouts a day 6 days a week with the majority of these being on the bike.  The good news is I get Sunday off to spend with the family.  Now tonight, I finished my 2nd bike workout of the week with 60+ miles and I still have 2 rides left; one 20 miles and a 71 miles on Saturday.  This still leaves a 12 mile run on Thursday and 2 miles after the bike on Saturday.  Did I mention I get Sunday off?  I did….  Well the increase in miles, speed work and intervals has left my legs DEAD!!  I can’t even walk up the stairs at night without peeing my pants, I’m not kidding!!  I will try to keep the daily posts rolling so that you can listen to me bitch about the wind or what ever it may be that day.  Until then.
