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 [...]

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 [...]

This past Saturday, the 9th, Anat and I joined Amos (see Anat’s bike fitting) on his team ride. We were impressed to be riding along with 20 other riders some of which are experienced iron distance triathletes. It was a freezing cold morning and we were not properly dressed but the sun shined upon us [...]

Shalom to all. Its Raanan (AKA “The Candle Holder”). Its official. We are in Ironman Brazil 2010. Well, almost official. Today I got another “don’t worry so much, you have the slots” from Michael our registration man. The fact we paid two weeks ago and still didn’t get the registration code doesn’t seem weird to [...]
