Checking In

Hey Team,

Couple things:

1. I'm sure some of you noticed the weekly zoom workouts that some of the D3 coaches are doing. Let me know if there are any that you'd like to incorporate into your weekly schedule: Julie's swim band workouts, Jim's core, or Brad's trainer rides.

2. Coach Julie got an idea for an event based on something that David Goggins put together. This is not typically the kind of thing I would sign up for but for some reason I felt like this was the right timing for a terrible idea. Here are the details from her post:

"Ironman has set up virtual racing, very cool, but not my jam, no reason, just is not. I NEEDED something... If you are a David Goggins fan, I mean, who isn't? You are familiar with the 4/4/48 Running Challenge. You run 4 miles, every 4 hours, for 48 hours. 48 miles total. Total badassery. I am not badassery. I am on the other side of a significant injury and feeling good, but 48 miles is not a smart move. So "we" modified the challenge to the following: 5/4/24: 5 miles, every 4 hours, for 24 hours! 30 miles in less than 24 hours.

Date: Sat 4/25 - we start at 4am (PST)
4am: 5 miles
8am: 5 miles
12:00pm: 5 miles
4:00pm: 5 miles
8:00pm: 5 miles
12:00am: 5 miles
BOOM 30 miles in less than 24 hours!

There will be a private FB group and we will build up the enthusiasm! We may do a quick zoom check-in pre-run to do a virtual high 5 and, of course, a post "we kicked ass" video chat. Are you interested?"


3. And on that note about Ironman VR, let me know if that's something you'd like to incorporate!

4. Last but not least, I know that for me personally, my feelings about what I want to do/work on/not work on change about once per hour. I hope you guys all know at this point that I'm here to support you with whatever you need so reach out, let me know what motivates you, even if that is constantly changing.
