Monday 1/29 update:
I think I have the training plan pretty much worked around the travel for this week. Thankfully the hotel has a gym, so I should still be able to bike and run. I've never ridden a gym spin bike, so that should be interesting. I'm taking my laptop along, so I figure I can set it up near the bike and still watch Coach Troy and Spinervals. If it bothers anyone in the gym, too bad! I'm training for an Ironman here! :-P

The key workout is the 5 hr bike on Saturday. I'm starting at 7:30am, hopefully finishing by 12:30pm so that I can go to Katrina's wedding shower. I've got a group of guys from work convinced to go on all or part of the ride, so at least I won't be alone. My planned route is up the frontage road along I-10. It's long, straight, flat, and no traffic lights. I'm going to ride 2.5 hrs in one direction, then turn around and come back. Yep, it will be boring, but it's training the mental side for IMAZ. That, and I finally get to practice my nutrition. I'm using the same fluids as my half Ironmans (I figure why change something that works) and I'm going to try a few solids like bananas and Fig Newtons to keep the stomach from growling.
