Along for the Ride
Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.

I used Joel Friel's first edition as a reference when training for Ironman Florida in 1999. There's no great secret to training for an Ironman. 3 one hour swims per week 1 long ride ~100 miles 1 long run ~ 20 miles 1 fast ride ~ 40 miles 1 fast run ~8 miles Everything else is recovery.
Wow! I love the way you summed that up. I'm thinking maybe 2010 for first full Ironman, I"m sticking with Halfs for now.
