I finally got a true HR monitor. Crazy how off my HR has been when running.

To comment on your last paragraph, I can totally relate to that. If I don’t have a race to concentrate on, I’ll lose focus. I don’t drink, but I’ll get lazy, lose motivation. Having a race allows me to set goals. I may do Waco again if I don’t do MCM in October. Not 100% sure yet.

Bike more. A lot more. Run less. Formal training starts next week. I’ll give myself a 15 week build up, a week taper. I’m also going to do more long rides with runs after. More rides outside. I’ll probably aim for 90 grams of carbs per hour on the bike instead of 60. More salt tabs. I do think a lot of my issue was nutrition in the second half of the bike and it just crept up on me during the run. Slow down on my brick runs. An issue I have is coming off the bike and immediately going at a 5k pace due to my heart rate already being in zone 3. You’re going to crush it. Same question to you on your full. More long runs?

I won’t be top 10% in my age group. I’m fine with that 😂

I’ve got: Early March: Fresh (Brookshires) 15k in Tyler May 10: 70.3 Gulf Coast - Panama City Oct 25: Marine Corp Marathon I would be doing a marathon this winter/spring but I’m homeless, living with my parents and in laws while we search for a house. Im running probably 30-40 miles per week, swimming and cycling once each per week and lifting once or twice a week. I’ll start a more formal routine for Panama City within the next couple weeks. Right now, I’m just doing what I feel like.

2024 Week 17 - Cotton Bowl CFP Semifinal Texas vs Ohio State
Bond is on the field running full speed, cutting, looks great. Not sure if we’ve seen anything on his probability for game time.

Definitely more orange than red here. No, it doesn’t feel like a college game to me but I imagine it’ll get pretty loud.

Just saw FCB walking into the media entrance. Maybe. But FCB.

Easy drive from Tyler. First snow I saw on the roadway was when I hit 360 and turned north off I20.

My son was 4 months old and asleep on the couch with my wife. I’ve never celebrated so silently in my life.

I’ve got an 8 year old copilot 😂

Glad I’ll be driving in tomorrow afternoon from Tyler. I’ll probably just stay on I20 until I hit 360 then head north until I30. I imagine that’ll be around 2:30 PM so everything should be pretty thawed out by then and just dealing with water on the roads, no?

Got an interesting email yesterday at 3:30 PM from a vendor. I just started a new job in November in Tyler and turns out our logistics provider has a suite at Jerry World. Head of the company reached out after looking me up on LinkedIn and saw I was an alumni and asked if I wanted to go to the game. Hell yeah. Taking the kiddo with me too.

Question for the triathlon folks in here. When you’re riding for training, do you wear tri shorts or bike shorts?

I was close to choosing Chattanooga in May. Easier to convince the wife to take the RV to Florida and the beach in that time of the year 😂 Good luck man! I’ve been substituting my bike time for the gym and have gained a good 9 pounds since Waco. I’m still averaging about 30 miles a week running 3 or 4 days per week.

I’ve never heard of this. Someone I know (not me) has had ischemic colitis after her 3 marathons every time (shitting blood). But never pissing blood. Good on you for getting it checked out.
