Prep time

Well, Ironman Coeur d'Alene is 9 weeks away. That is as of today. I'm sitting on a flight making my way back from Orlando. Training has been pretty good lately. Not sure if I mentioned in the last post but I took my first outdoor ride the other week! It felt so awesome. Just to be back amongst nature, feeling the wing on you, and being able to travel to places on a bike where you just appreciate the scenery better than from a car.speaking of the bike though, that is one area that Muddy and I will be hammering the next 2 months. We have committed to putting in the work to get that top 5% bike split. We will see if we have enough time to do this post accident. Stay tuned for that. Swimming has been going well. My wife and I were lucky enough to receive memberships the other week as they brought her onto the club as an athlete member! Rock star status...confirmed. The MAC is amazing but the coolestart is that my sister coaches the am workouts I go through. So when I bust out of the water this year in the first group I have her to thank! So our ID cards we're still warm as we headed out to state masters swimming championishs to compete. It was weird to be back in the pool racing. We had a hoot though! Meg had an awesome meet! State champ in 200im! I had a mixed bag of a meet. Solid 200 free, 50 and 100fly and off 100, 400, and 800 frees. Luckily I was fast enough to take the crowns in the 400 and 800!! So we have been having some fun along the way which is critical. Can't always be training. Gotta get have fun in there. The next month will be critical for me. I need to stay healthy, nail my workouts and continue the stretching and massage. The next block here will give me a really good idea of where my fitness is heading into our final build. On a health front, I continue to heal. I'm hoping the one fake tooth I have is where we get to stop but we could still potentially lose two more. Will be a few months until we get it figured out. Thanks everyone for checking in. -T
