As you know, we’ve completed the Ironman and what better way to share our experience with you than a video clip inspired by the world cup.  (made with a mac) Also, here is an article (Hebrew) I wrote for bonk.co.il This video was embedded using the YouTuber plugin by Roy Tanck. Adobe Flash Player is [...]

Here you can find the details of my race: Run (garmin was stopped about 10 min after I finished)

Enough rest and now it’s time to share my IM experience.  Actually I am getting tired of telling the tale and figured posting the story is much simpler and a way for everyone to get the same version.  Having said that, lets summarize with the following: 1. Days leading to the event were miserable as [...]

Being in Florianopolis (an Island in the southern part of Brazil) is great. During the week we had beautiful sunny days BUT don’t fool yourself, the race is scheduled to take place during a stormy cold day. We should hit the water at 7am in 20c and choppy seas.

These are my thoughts these days. Two weeks to go until the big day… and when I say big, I mean long.  There is nothing I can do at this point to improve my performance and my head is full of pointless taper wonders – Did I do enough? am I prepared? Mentally? Physically? Philosophy? [...]

So here I am on the road again now flying from Tel-Aviv to Chicago and then to Miami. No, not for pleasure, it’s all work and all in just 9 days (flights included). It has been two weeks since my exodus out of a volcanic ash covered Europe. And now here I am again sitting [...]

Once you open the door, and step into the living room you are faced with our sturdy bikes, proped up on the trainers ready for the next tripple digit ride; bento boxes open, revealing [...]

Just finished the 1st week of the peak period. The weeks with the highest training volumes of my trainig plan. The week started with my first ocean swim of the season. Puting on my wetsuit I was thinking how all the winter leg weights workouts paid off, “this is so tight”, till i realized i [...]

Who would have thought, just a week before our arrival there was still some snow on the ground and cold wind in the air. Once we arrived all that was gone and we were left with some cold temperatures (not to cold) yet beautiful skies. We are so caught up on our training that no [...]

The four weeks of the 2nd build month are behind me. Ah… recovery week… This weekend, ending this training block was an “Iron weekend”. Doing an Ironman distance in 48hours. Friday 4k swim+11k run Saturday 200kride+5krun Sunday 32k run. The main reason for this Iron weekend was of course low self-confidence. It worked! As stupid [...]
