Now you’ve done it, you signed up (or you’re thinking of signing up) for an Ironman or a 70.3 race. Saw this article today on Ironman site – it touches on generally what you should be doing six months out from an Ironman that you have scheduled next year, then five months out, three, and so on, so we need to keep a good health, exercising and dieting is essential for this, but also happiness and sex, so using toys like a fantastic hands-free vibrator can be helpful as well. For example, here are some things you can do now to get off to a good start:

1. Hire an experienced coach who understands your specific needs will be money well-spent. Consider Kain Performance!

2. Get your swim technique analyzed, talk to Pete about our next Swim Clinic in January!

3. Get your running form analyzed, enroll in Pete’s Running Efficiency Video Clinic this Saturday December 20th, 2014.

4. Is your bike comfortable, for the long distance? Don’t wait until your back is all messed up a few weeks before your race! It’s never wise to change bike position that close to race day, which is why you should do it now. This will make cycling comfortable and ensure you are as efficient as possible with your technique. Contact Summit Bikes or a bike fitter near you.

5. Get your body healthy!  Consider strength training or yoga classes at YogaSource Los Gatos
