12/24
Halfway to Ironman.
157 hours. 1903 miles. 12 weeks down. 12 weeks to go. It’s crazy how close it’s getting. Two races of a lifetime within 5 weeks of each other, and I absolutely cannot wait. 12 weeks to finish what I started 12 weeks ago. 12 weeks to appease the younger me that always thought he’d be an Ironman.
These first 12 weeks have not been easy. There have been a lot of rough days. Days where the heat won. Days where fatigue won. Days where I just didn’t have it. But, all the days, good, bad, and ugly, are leading me towards the Chicago marathon and Ironman Arizona.
As much as I love the training, training endlessly without racing can grow mundane. I’m amped for the opportunity to test myself and my fitness in the near future.
