CTL: 18 Still on the school retreat in the mountains and the closest gym for me is like a 45 min drive. Hoping I’ll be able to get away for the 3-4 hours so I can go get a run in, some lifting, and an easy spin on the bike. Added some swim workouts for

Well. I did it. I registered for Ironman Lake Placid for July 2024. Guess things are going to start to get real. Focus now is getting my base going and to have a solid foundation on which to start building the 140.6 training in January. Meeting with a coach on Friday to see about the

Skipped the scale this morning. Supposed to be a nice easy rest day for me. Last day of screwing around I think. CTL: 17
