IMCHOO Build 1 recap

While I haven't been slacking so far this year, Apr 6th saw the start of the first "IM Choo" build cycle, and somehow naming it makes it more real.

There are going to be 8 build cycles, which doesn't sound like much. 24 weeks to get from "pretty good base" to "ready for an Ironman"?!

Like all of the other TeamZ IM athletes that have come before me, I'm repeating to myself "do the training, trust the training". Hopefully, I'll see some reassuring signs as the summer goes along.
