This plan is very individual – worked really well for me. Has absolutely no stomach or nutritional problems during the 3 day race.

Long Open Water swim practice

It’s almost here! Ultraman World Championships in Hawaii. There’s not much else to do other than to rest, get as much sleep as possible, and prepare everything for the trip.

As always – we’re finalizing the last sponsors in the 11^th hour but a necessary evil of sponsorship. But it’s all good, and all will go well. At least the things that my crew & I can control.

As far as training – it went well by default. Coming back from 1.5 year of injury where my running was limited during 2012, and early 2013 – through the late season 2013. The entire 2014 was dedicated to getting stronger, and faster on the run!

In that same short period of time, I continued competing, and later on raced a combined 9 Ironman races. Each race, it was great to see the finish times getting faster, mostly due to continued improvement on the runs.

Climbing in the mountains of NC

So – now that the run is strong, combined with a large swim base, and significantly improved bike times, the Ultraman should be a great race.

Stay tuned for more posts as we get closer to the race.

Also, a huge thanks to all of my supporters & sponsors who are making this race possible (might name few more later on depending on the final Ultraman sponsorship):

Tim, Dean, Michael, Rudy Project, First Endurance, Hypoxico, Xentis Wheels, Aquaman Wetsuit, CafeRacer.

The post 2 WEEKS UNTIL ULTRMAN HAWAII WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP 2014 appeared first on Peter's Blog.

Just a little update on returning back to the big Island of Hawaii for really iconic race – the Ultraman Worlds.
It has been several years since I was competing there, and I truly miss the race, the great atmostphere, and what really represents triathlons.

After spending most of the 2012, and 2013 on a sideline due to leg INJURIES – yes not one, but few – it has been a long way back. Hard to believe that even the great (considering myself good/not great) runners can loose some of the natural things they have in their legs. So really fithing back to build the miles, and avoid any injures coming back it has been a long process. Finally after 5 months of this year I’was able to resume some speed, and working on mechanics.

In other works I think I’m back – not with my speed, and w/being able to start to process of hard training, and regain the ablily to compete again.

So this year the focus in on 2014 ULTRAMAN WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP. Goal – is to be at the top at the end of Thanksgiving weekend, and maybe to come close to or done with breaking the World record. Extremely hard task, and not imposible so…….

Since Ultraman is very expensive to production (just to name few):
1 race + 2-3 support crew member which are required
airfare
bike fees
accomodations
rental car
food/fuel
and lots of other expenses related to the race

….and since I’m not selfmade millionaire – more like the opposite – looking for any sponsors or any donors who could help.
Your help is more than greatly appreciated – with the support this race is pretty much imposible.
Become part of TEAM PK!

If you have any question – don’t hesitate to contact me.

Here is the DONATION LINK.
As in the past – there is a great exposure on Slowtwitch thanks to @TGCarlson – one of the best traithlon drama creators.
Of course the progress of the race will be available on all of the social media.
