Ironman Texas

This weekend I volunteered for the first ever Texas Ironman(2.4 miles swimming, 112 miles biking, and 26.2 miles of running) and it was truly a spectacle of very in shape people. I am always surprised at how much is spent in time and money to prepare for such an event. The venue for this event was held in up scale The Woodlands, Texas(near Houston)and it epitomized the overall obsession with Ironman racing. Since I have finished 7 of these dudes I know the feeling of commitment that goes along with it.

But fellow Mature Fitness followers please don’t forget that I am still a strong advocate of the minimal fitness exercises done in 20-30 minute sessions at 75% of your maximum heart rate per minute, 4 days per week. It does not matter how you reach this heart rate, just so you do and maintain it. That will give you minimal fitness and much more time to do other things in life.

Happy fitness,
