History and Targets

I’ m sitting here considering my targets for this years Ironman and want to keep it realistic but on the other hand I really feel I can get close to 12:30 so I thought id. Look at IMDE in 2006 and IMCH in 2009, my first Ironman and last year where i had next to no training, this gives me this: -

	SWIM	BIKE	RUN	T1+T2	TOTAL
IMDE 2006	01:28	06:26	05:23	00:15	13:33
IMCH 2009	01:14	07:11	05:07	00:10	13:42
BEST OF BOTH	01:14	06:26	05:07	00:10	12:58

As you can see if I match the best for each element of the race from the to IM’s it would give me a sub 13hr Ironman .... but as I said I feel I can get close to 12:30 ... so this is what I will aim for: -

TARGET	01:12	06:12	04:55	00:10	12:29
AVERAGES	1:54/100m	18.1mph	11.25m/m

So that’s my targets for Ironman Germany 2010
