After my 2012 Ironman Arizona finish in 11h 53m, naturally I had to do another one in hopes of racing it. I also wanted to document the physical changes my body will undergo as well as my stats: resting heart rate, blood pressure, etc.
It is really amazing what the body is capable of and I regret not showing that last time! Here we go...
Off season: I have been running 20 miles/week, biking about 1-2x's/week and swimming 3x's/week. It has been a rough comeback thanks to Officer Candidates School for the United States Marine Corps (that is ANOTHER story...), a broken metatarsal and shoulder injury.
I digress...stats:
Height: 5'2"
Weight: 115 lbs.
This is my finishers picture from Ironman Arizona 2012. I was still 5'2", but 97 lbs. Note: I was also EXTREMELY dehydrated
We will not go into my diet, it's not BAD, but by no means GOOD. I LOVE to eat, that is my biggest struggle! Also, the weather has been brutal in Michigan-1 degree temps, -20 wind chills, and snow so big you can barely run outdoors. This has been going on for WEEKS!
The difference(s) from my last race to this one-I hired a coach! He is going to give me workouts, hold me accountable, monitor my diet and make sure I'm not stress fracturing my feet.
Stay tuned for the getting fit process, it is cool :)
