Here's the plan. Ironman Waco 70.3, October 6, 2024.
I am going for it. It is going to be a tall order for an 80 year old, with a bum left knee. It is my plan to try to post daily on this effort, regardless how boring, repetitious, and uninteresting as the training day might have been.
The vision of this won't let me loose so I am taking this as far as I can. Every training day completed will be a gift from God. I will take these days on and go as far as I can with it. If I make it all the way for the event - major miracle - I will be over the moon. But in this heat and humidity, whatever journey I can accomplish will be a blessing.
I have added all this up and it doesn't look good but I have to try. It has been a few years since I tried anything that could inflict severe pain and defeat upon me. I feel the calling to the quest, no matter how far I make on that journey.
I know. I am too old for this. But what do I have to lose at 80 years old anyway. It will be hard. It's hard already and I can either "cry in the storm or dance in the rain." Never been a good dancer but I'm training for it.
Today's Training
I did my strength/flex session and ran for 52 minutes. (goal 3 hours 30 minutes).
Will do an indoor bike session for an hour (goal 4 hours)
I swam essentially race distance yesterday.
