  1. 7 years ago I was 6’2”, 315. I’m now 185 or 190 and run marathons. No surgery. Being fat is a choice.
  2. Parents checked in at Rotary house yesterday for my dad’s first round of immunotherapy therapy today. Once every three weeks he will head down to get a dose of Keytruda(sp?). Docs are hoping it will decrease the size of the tumor on his tailbone to the point where they can radiate that bitch away.
  3. 12 mile run today then ate my bodyweight in crawfish. Rest day tomorrow.
  4. 3 hour ride + 9 mile run today. Went 59 miles on bike and paced an 8:24 run. It’s hot.
  5. Biggest training weekend of my schedule. Long brick tomorrow, practicing fueling and a long run Sunday.
  6. Right there with you. Just good enough to finish a swim.
  7. 1,700 to 1,900 or so.
  8. I was in Houston this weekend as we’re selling our house and closing on the sale on the 15th. We were packing up the rest of our stuff and I headed back to Tyler today. Heading back up 45 and I’m seeing a ton of tri bikes on the back of peoples cars. 70.3 Galveston was this weekend and they canceled the swim due to currents in Galveston Bay. I ran this morning and the wind was blowing 20+ from the north. That bike must have been a bitch. Got 12 miles in this morning and an hour spin before we left yesterday. One last hard week and I’m ready.
  9. Including what you just paid, that’s pushing it 😂
  10. Just buy one and ask for forgiveness later. My exact words were “cheaper than a drug habit”. In actuality, she told me to go buy one for Father’s Day.
  11. This right here. I learned a lot from just going out there and making a dumbass out of myself. Don’t overthink it and listen to your body. My first one was a 50 minute swim, 3 hour bike, and a 2:28 run. Transitions sucked as they were so far from the water exit and bike entrance. I think I was 6:31 or something total. I’m HOPING for a sub 6 this go round in 5 weeks. I can definitely take time off that run and that bike. I’ve really been working on the bike for this race and I’m thinking I can shoot for at least a 2:45. I’d also really like a sub 2 half marathon. For the first one, I didn’t train properly. I ran too much and didn’t do enough brick workouts. I feel a lot more confident this time. Enjoy the first one. There’s absolutely nothing like putting in the work and seeing that red carpet. My FIL caught probably the best video of me raving I’ve ever seen when I crossed the finish line and he’s seen me finish two marathons and multiple half’s.
  12. How much is Elko making? Would they really pay more for a basketball coach than a football coach? It’s aggy, so probably. Edit: never mind, it’s 7 mil per year for elko. Still, that’s fucking sad and hilarious at the same time.
  13. If you don’t mind me asking, what kind of coach did you sign up with? In person or virtual? What all will he do for you?
  14. That’s a feat in itself. three hour bike this AM, 6 mile run after. Twelve mile run yesterday. Probably swim tomorrow. Depends on how I feel. Doing more runs after biking really is paying off. That and better nutrition this go around.
  15. 1900m swim yesterday, ran today, brick tomorrow.
