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?

#4 Swim training
If you have followed my training plan you will notice that I don't have swimming listed as part of my training. Simply put I can slip in swim workouts here and there. Second reason is if there is one part of IM that I do better than the average is swim. Both my IM swims have been 70-75mins. The pros are doing 50-60mins. So how much time do you spend in training trying to lose 15 mins when I need to lose 1 hour on the bike and 2 hours on the run? To me not a whole lot. Plus swimming is deathly boring. I did get a water proof Ipod to alleviate the boredom and without that I wouldn't swim at all.
