  Michael,

  It is only 2/3 of the way through the training for IMWI but your training program 
  has erased any nagging doubts (as must be inevitable before a race to document 
  efficacy of a program).  I was able to improve on my personal best 33 minutes in 
  the 1/2 IM distance race from 5h59m to 5h26m (with a 9m 40s combined T1 & T2) on 
  similar flat courses.  The Sylvanina 1/2 IM had winds that enabled me to ride 23-24 
  mph with the wind and then only 18 mph against the wind.  This enabled me to improve 
  on my bike a solid 7 minutes despite drastically stronger wind conditions.  

  I thought that I felt tired at the end of the ride going against the wind but what was most 
  amazing was the strength that I had on the run.  Typically this is a death march for 
  me that often results in a run pace of 10:30/mi.  This time I was able to run an 8:41/mi 
  pace despite a near bonk at mile 3 that took me a mile and a half to get over.  
  Considering that I ran an 8:01/mi in a half-marathon race in March, this is pretty cool.

  It's great to see that despite working about 80 hours a week (for 3 out of every 5 wks) 
  and working out the same amount of hours as last year, that I can have such a dramatic 
  improvement.   I had wondered previously re: all your testimonials of people who were 
  able to go from good to fantastic results.  I am quite happy that it works equally well 
  for us average age-groupers.  I look forward to the next 14 weeks training for IMWI.
