Now that I’m getting a little comfortable doing speed work, coach decides to add strength to my plan.
I got it done, but felt like a baby giraffe all over agin 🦒. I’ve never been a weights guy, so I don’t know what I don’t know 😂 and I was too embarrassed to ask for help. #gymnewbie #egoproblems

I’m at the end of a recovery week, so racing was out of the question. So, I decided to se if I could run a consistent pace by feel. No watch, just me, my legs, and a noisy mind.
I met my objective and paced fairly consistently 🤙🏾. #alwayslearning
Do yourself a favor and move towards the discomfort. You’ll adapt, grow and find all new superpowers 💥!!

I’m grateful for my #trifamily. They are always ready to do some work and share their knowledge . Today was zwift basics, and I needed it 🙏🏾. I can already feel my frustration beginning to die down. I still find it overwhelming, but now there’s a light up ahead. @team_varlo has some of the best athletes 🤙🏾.

I’ve been following your journey. Well done! The first one is always the special one. Congratulations Ironman, welcome to the club!

Wonderful!
Wow! This blog looks just like my old one! It’s on a completely different topic but it has pretty much the same layout and design. Great choice of colors!
Thank you.
Hola! I’ve been following your weblog for a long time now and finally got the courage to go ahead and give you a shout out from Austin Texas! Just wanted to tell you keep up the excellent job!
Thanks for reading and I’m always happy to get feedback or read others experiences.
You’re over extended.
Give yourself time to recover.
First Half Ironman, 1982.
Not a typo.
Yep, I think I missed the part where I should have given my mind and body real rest and recovery time. 1982? Are you still racing triathlons?
Chris I’ve been drawing inspiration from your blog for my upcoming 70.3 this weekend in Tahoe and first 140 in October (CA). It’s been amazing watching your journey and just wanted to drop a note to say thanks. Great post btw — you smashed it! – Evan
Evan, thanks for the kind words and good luck in Tahoe. Have you run that race in the past? How’s the build for IMCA coming along? Several people in my local tri club are racing it too. It looks like a beautiful course.
https://strava.app.link/fk5B0E2q7rb Tahoe was an eye opener at how much more I need to practice open water. First time racing there and ended with 6:36. Signed up for Santa Cruz 9/11 to try a flat course and life goal attempt at sub 6
IMCA dream was sub 12 but at this point looking to just not walk much on the run. Keep the posts coming, really enjoy the training tips and FTP stats
Congrats on the finish, the bike course looks beautiful, but three 1400 ft climbs had to take their toll on your legs. If you did 6h36 on that course, I think sub6 on a flat course is within reach. Of course, sub 6 is a goal of mine too, so I feel ya. How did the swim and the run go?
