Key for reading the training log: This training log is set up so that the reader can see the most recent training first. To see training from past days, weeks, and months, simply scroll down. Training weeks begin on Monday and end on Sunday.

The format is as follows----Date: Description of day’s training plus any comments; Weekly training statistics indicated by the following symbols: b= Total biking miles for week, s= Total swimming time for the week, r= Total running miles for the week, h= total training hours for the week. Ironman Wisconsin (2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike, and 26.2 mile run) will be held in Madison, Wisconsin, on Sunday, September 5, 2004. Preparation from September 16, 2002 to September 2, 2003 can be found here.

Wednesday, September 3, 2003: Well, 1 year and 2 days from now, we will accomplish what was supposed to originally be accomplished in 4 days. Hit the Masters swim practice with a fat as hell in disturbingly poor condition vengeance. Whoa! Lots of drill sets, thankfully. s=0.45/h=0.45/Sept=0.45 (Sept=total training hours for the month of September)

The months of September through December of 2003 are planned by total training hours for the month. How these hours are distributed weekly does not matter. The following format will be used training in 2003: Month/planned hours/actual hours . . . .

September, 2003/20/*---October, 2003/25/*

November, 2003/30/*---December, 2003/35/*
