Iron Pol

Okay, so Iron Wil has set up a winter challenge.  The details are available at her site, and the image at left links to the "Commit" post.  In addition to being a cool way to motivate positive training through the tough winter months (at least for those hale enough to live where there are seasons), it uses Buckeye Outdoors for tracking.  I'm sure there are lots of workout tracking sites out there, and this is the one being used for this contest.

Since I signed up (free) for the purpose of the contest, I will be using this as a means of tracking my training.  I have an Excel file I use, but it's a bit much for posting here.  For now, you can find those numbers on the Training and Racing tab.  I have yet to decide how much of my long-term race plan will be posted on here.  (If you have suggestions, let me know.  I'm willing to post weekly or monthly details if readers are interested in using if for their own planning.)

If you are participating in Wil's contest, keep in mind that the "30 swims in 30 days" challenge is an opportunity to put some big numbers up in her contest.  The first five people to commit and complete this challenge will receive four energy gels.  In the event there are fewer than five participants, the case of gels will be split as evenly as possible among those who do participate.

So, in the attempt to win "the gold" in Iron Wil's contest, you can score a few energy gels AND improve your swim skills for the coming race season.
