Took a virtual recon ride on the Ironman Western MA 70.3 bike course. Rode the first 25% of the course & was right on my cadence, HR, power & mileage targets while keeping it all Zone 2. All that remains now is to ensure training logistics will fit & click the sign up button.

First run in the new Topo Atmos. Felt like a wonderful combination of the HOKA’s with the wide toe box of the Altra’s. Having used both previously, these feels like exactly what I’ve been looking for…can’t wait to try the trail one I picked as well…

It wasn't very quick but the final stage of the FulGaz 2024 IRONMAN Pro Series Virtual Edition is a wrap! 15 stages of typically 30-40K stages starting way back in April. This make 2 straight years I've completed this series and I am glad I took them on.

First skate since May. Felt brave and took on my first downhill as well. Great day to get out and move.

What constitutes an exciting Saturday night in my world…after morning row, an afternoon run and an evening sauna; trying muscle scraping and a TENS device for the first time…

Picked up a couple more books for my running book collection. Looking forward to reading about these running rivalries.

Currently reading Matt Fitzgerald's "Running The Dream" (including the missing chapter with Tommy Rivers Puzey) so was inspired to run (at least virtually) on some of the roads he mentions via my iFit treadmill & Tommy's Arizona Running Series. Maybe someday it will be for real...

The core books of my training library. These all contribute and make up the elements of my overall training plan. My fitness philosophy: be ready for any adventure at any time…
