Ironman Lake Placid's swim was in a calm lake with biking and running in mountains. Ironman Florida's swim is in the Gulf of Mexico with biking and running basically on a runway. I was a tank before, it worked, and I think it would work again. But, somehow I hope I am smarter, more experienced and am building a better ride for the journey.
Here are some notable differences from ironman me a year ago:
- I eat a lot less. Before I usually ate 2 dinners most nights. It was an awesome feeling to eat 2 dinners and somehow feel stronger, like much stronger.
- I drink a lot of water and really not much else. Before I would drink Gatorade at an amazing rate.
- I am running more barefoot. I want to do a marathon barefoot, mainly for shock value, but for now my FiveFingers are getting a good run.
- I don't care about building up muscle. I use to do a lot of push ups, the Perfect Push-up will just have to gather dust for now.
I am going for lighter and quicker. Only one way to see if this way works.
