The Ironman is coool

It was a treble tonight with The Fit One, Ironman, and Bigman once again racing against the virtual clock. The Fit One has developed a race programme for the spring and summer and has built a training run in the North East of Scotland during February.

Apparently he is having ski extensions on the road bike to act as stabilisers as he slams down the Cockbridge to Tomintoul road faster than Bode Miller!

The usual circuit started with 30 minutes on the treadmill burning up 350 calories and getting the heart rate up. The Ironman was going for it from the start reaching level 17 in a couple of minutes. Steam was rising from his locality. Not sure whether it was from Ironman or the machine.

Next it was onto the running machines and a healthy 30 minutes at 150 bpm and 7.5 miles per hour. Another 450 calories fried in the passage of time to pretty awful Brit music???

A routine on teh weights to build core and the obligatory 100 sit ups and then onto the bike. 40 minutes at level 15 from the off. Children were asking if they could play in the pool, there was so much sweat on the floor! Meanwhile the Ironman was the cool man with Little more than a single drop of perspiration on his floor area. He could be come The Iceman. Another 500 calories burnt bringing the grand total to 1300 calories to end the training week.

Over the last 6 days, Bigman has trained for 14 hours so tomorrow is a day of rest with it all starting again on Saturday with another 100km bike ride planned.
