My Road to Ironman: Rev 3 Cedar Point – The Race Report That Didn’t Happen
http://iron-path.blogspot.com/2012/09/rev-3-cedar-point-race-report-that.html
My Weight Loss Tips. Monday, September 24, 2012. Rev 3 Cedar Point – The Race Report That Didn’t Happen. So here it is. Cedar Point was my A race for the year. The goal of this year was to build on the bike, and build on the run, so that I could get some revenge on my 140.6 performance at IMWI. Swim - I worked hard in the pool this year. I suffered a lot. I swam so hard that I spent as much time gasping for breath at the gutter as I did swimming I think. Bike – My 20K TTs have always been strong. I stood...

My Road to Ironman: August 2013
http://iron-path.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
My Weight Loss Tips. Thursday, August 15, 2013. Sometime last winter Lana and I were thinking ‘you know, we need some more glassware.’ Well, rather than doing what a normal person would do, and buy some, we decided that if we both completed the three triple crown rides, we’d take home a combined total of 6 commemorative pint glasses. That clearly seemed like the smarter choice. So, off we went to sign up. I didn’t sleep well at all that night. Once we got to the start, I realized I forgot my phone and ha...

My Road to Ironman: Indianapolis Monumental Marathon 2012 3:58:32.4
http://iron-path.blogspot.com/2012/11/indianapolis-monumental-marathon-2012.html
My Weight Loss Tips. Saturday, November 3, 2012. Indianapolis Monumental Marathon 2012 3:58:32.4. What Came Before…. The story of this race starts in January of 2012. After not really being able to budge my running fitness for an entire year, I decided to try a mileage based approach. I worked my up to between 40-50 miles a week in the winter and tried to hold it. My biking suffered, I didn’t swim, and my running got just a very little bit better, but mostly I was flat. I couldn’t run without pain ...

My Road to Ironman: December 2012
http://iron-path.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
My Weight Loss Tips. Thursday, December 20, 2012. Lana and I were planning our season early last year and we decided that a vacation was in order for us in 2012, after the dust settled from a year of racing. Last year was a whirlwind of ironman, house buying, moving, training, racing, Lana’s first half ironman, and even a big marathon PR for the both of us. We were more than ready to get away and slow down a little bit. Our adventure began last Sunday. Things just happen in their own time on Provo, and n...

My Weight Loss Tips. My Weight Loss Tips. I'm often asked what specifically I did to lose 220 pounds. I decided to make this page to hopefully pass on some of the tips that helped me.

My Road to Ironman: November 2013
http://iron-path.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
My Weight Loss Tips. Wednesday, November 6, 2013. Ironman Florida 2013 – 11:53:28. Check back for updates with pictures). My goal for this race was to have a good day and a strong run. IMWI 2011 was awful for me, and after suffering through flat tires and nutrition problems I wanted a better day this time. So, my definition of success wasn’t tied to a particular time or split but more to a feeling, which is odd for data driven Mike. I think it worked out pretty well for me though. Pace: 20.91 mph. The bi...

My Weight Loss Tips. Sunday, August 12, 2012. Race Report: Dells Rev3 70.3. Finally, I’ve made it to my first real race of the year. On one hand, I was really happy to be racing a 70.3. On the other, I knew this wasn’t the course for me. The bike was hilly enough that it would use my weight against me, and kill my bike strength. The run was hilly enough to be dangerous to my weak hamstrings and overall poor running. It was going to be a tough day. But, I was running better than I had been in a while.
