Follow my training in preparation for my 3rd Ironman...Ironman Wisconsin/Madison 2017. We'll see if I learned anything from the other races. Read my thoughts on training both physically and mentally. I will write about the things that help and hurt. Can a heavy/stout/barrel chested/Clydesdale Ironman do well?

16. Hardcore 100
Because I can't go out and run I have started using my spin bike to get the cardio on. Last year when I was preparing for IMCDA, I went out and bought the Spinervals Hardcore 100 DVD. If you aren't familiar let me enlighten you. Its a set of DVDs that I thought, well I don't know what I thought but it seemed like it made sense at the time to purchase a DVD that had me sit for 5 hours on my bike indoors. The DVD has about 20 people sitting on their bikes in what looks to be a hotel ballroom. The participants range from previous IM to newbies from young to old. Your moderator coach Troy walks around the room with a stop watch and tells you when to go fast and slow down. Let me tell you, its very painful. Not painfully hard but painfully boring. I tried to watch it again yesterday and I could only take about 15 mins. So much easier just to watch Sports Center.
