Peter Vu's Ironman Blog - Vineman 7/31/10

2/1/2010: Swam 1,500 yards today in about 32.5 minutes - longest bilateral swim (without breaks) for me ever! The most amazing part was that I knew I could go longer. As those of you who have read this blog know, I am not the fastest swimmer and only relearned how to swim a few months ago. We are still building our foundation for the longer distances but I am excited for the future. If you asked me about 6 months ago if I thought I could swim a mile bilaterally, I would have unequivocally said "No!". That's what makes this training process all the more special. Believe in yourself. Believe in the coaches. The challenge is all mental. I am no more special than anyone else or athletically gifted. What is your "Ironman"? Whatever goal you thought was impossible, go tackle it. Don't make excuses and start today!

1/30/2010: Amalfi bike loop 3 times with 1-1.5 mile bric runs in between. See picture above.

End of recovery week!
