Ironman Triathlon Training Training Plan I

Came across this training plan while searching to answer the question:  "What type and amount of training does it take to prepare for an Ironman distance triathlon?".

This particular plan jives well with my current mentality and training style.  This plan gives me a great sense of what base I need to start with when I seriously plan to schedule my first Ironman triathlon.
