It appears that 2020 was a bust. Shortly after I signed up for and started training for my first 70.3 Ironman, the world was hit by the COVID-19 virus. All training groups, gym activities, and races were reduced or eliminated.
Unfortunately, momentum is important for me. In the midst of all that, I lost my momentum. I also lost 45 lbs! So that’s good… but I didn’t keep up the fitness behind it.
Now in 2021, I’ve decided to focus on the one part of the triathlon that I struggle with the most: RUNNING. I like running. Maybe even love it sometimes. But I am S.L.O.W. The only way to get faster is to run more and practice faster…
Always motivated best by a goal, I have signed up for a 50K race in Moab, UT called the Bears Ears Ultra. 50K is 31miles. You guys, that’s MORE than a marathon!
In typical form, I have downloaded a Couch to 50k training plan, and I have time to do it 1.5 times – so I really SHOULD be ready. Get prepared for a bunch of photos of me on beautiful Colorado and Utah trails. Thumbs up, it’s time to get dirty!
This photo is me in Devils Canyon on the D-4 trail on a very unusual, rainy day. Couldn’t ask for better jogging/ power-hiking weather!
