IMCHOO Build 2 recap

I had a big confidence booster when I relayed for a half iron. I did the bike leg and mostly stayed within Z2 and had a resulting time that was much, much faster than I had hoped for. Following that up with a 70.3 in Chattanooga showed that the relay was not a fluke. Hooray!

Mini-goal assessment

  • Go to 1 Monday bootcamp - Success
  • Do 2 bike hills workouts with 2x and 3x trippple hill - Success, including getting it done on my own
  • Drop bike off for annual tune-up over a vacation weekend - Success, including getting a hand-me-down power meter installed
  • Run 11 while on vacation - Nope! Late night catching up with old friends instead
  • Eat rationally while on vacation and on race weekends - Nope! too much deliciousness, too little control
  • Race Chattanooga 1/2 as an Ironman/2- Grand Success!
