A Long Way to Go

Day 3 of Week 1 Base Phase

A long way to go...not the race. But the journey to get to the starting line. I have a lot of work to do. When I tell someone that I'm doing an Ironman I usually get a quizzical look and then they say "the whole thing?" Yeah, the whole damn thing. "You mean, by yourself?" Yep, me and my two arms and my two legs and my two feet. I don't get offended, because I don't look like an Ironman. Not YET anyway.

Bike: 5:30pm, 00:30:06, 7.10 miles
Trainer ride b/c the roads were wet and the weather was completely unpredictable.

Transition to run: 00:02:00

Run: 6:02pm, 00:16:03, 1.22 miles
You know, a typical brick run. Sucky. But thankful to be running.
