  1. I’ve been trying to go running more on the weekends when the sun is up. It’s humid as hell outside. Ran 12 yesterday, going to swim later. Taking my bike off the trainer today as well to get some road rides in.
  2. 7 years ago I was 6’2”, 315. I’m now 185 or 190 and run marathons. No surgery. Being fat is a choice.
  3. 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.
  4. 12 mile run today then ate my bodyweight in crawfish. Rest day tomorrow.
  5. 3 hour ride + 9 mile run today. Went 59 miles on bike and paced an 8:24 run. It’s hot.
  6. Biggest training weekend of my schedule. Long brick tomorrow, practicing fueling and a long run Sunday.
  7. Right there with you. Just good enough to finish a swim.
  8. 1,700 to 1,900 or so.
  9. 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.
  10. Including what you just paid, that’s pushing it 😂
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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?
  15. 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.
  16. 1900m swim yesterday, ran today, brick tomorrow.
  17. O/U on Anthony Hill murders this season? I’m guessing 2.5 and am taking the over.
  18. Correct, taper for Waco was just race week. I did one shorter session of each discipline Monday - Wednesday. Your rest/easy pace is my normal swim lol
  19. Not quite ready yet. I still need my long ride (3+ hours) and one more long brick, then I’ll be set. I’m about 6 weeks out and training is going a lot better this time around. I need to get into the pool as well. I’ve been concentrating the majority of my training on the bike this go around. I have neglected the pool, but I need to swim more.
  20. 2:45 on the bike yesterday with a 6 mile run after. 11 mile run this morning. Swimming tomorrow. Grinding it out. @Clintonaldohows the hammy?
  21. I’ve been to over 40 DMB shows with my first in 2002. The band now is not the band it was back then (obviously). I don’t find the music they play now to be anywhere near as good as it was in the late 2000s. Buddy Strong is a terrible Boyd replacement. Jeff Coffin is OK but while Tim Reynolds can shred, they’ve used him and Buddy Strong to fill Boyd’s sound and it just doesn’t sound as good. I missed last years Woodlands show and wasn’t that disappointed. The 2003 show was awful. Probably one of the worst shows I’ve been to. My favorite live show right now is probably Piedmont Park. I could listen to that on repeat ALL day.
  22. Good luck. When I pulled a hamstring, it took me 2+ weeks to get back to normal. 11 mile run today, long bike and run tomorrow.
  23. Oof. I was telling my wife yesterday that I feel like I’m back in the zone for training after my back and toe issue. I’m in a good spot and making progress. Bike is getting better. I did some speed intervals for the first time a few days ago and did speed work running yesterday. Easy bike this morning for 1:15. Big weekend coming up for a long ride and run.
  24. Only when one of us is sick so we don’t keep the other up. I used to be a fat fuck and would snore like crazy. I lost a ton of weight and we both sleep a lot better. My parents have slept separately for the last 5 years at least because of my dads snoring.
  25. Great training weekend - 2k swim after work Friday, 11 mile run Saturday, 2:15 bike + 7 mile run Sunday. Sunday workout felt great - no fatigue at all. Salt and nutrition is a lot better this time around. Taking it easy today. I hit 3 bike workouts, 2 runs, 1 swim and 1 brick last week. This race prep is different than Waco. I’m a lot less nervous about it. It’s weird because I don’t think I’m doing enough training because I’m not exhausted all the time but I know that if I stick to the plan, I’ll be ready.
