This morning he weighed in at 320 lbs. down 35. I’m guessing pretty soon his weekly weight loss will drop a bit since he’s still losing easy lbs. Tuesday he’ll meet with the nutritionist to see his estimate weekly fat loss. It was 5.5 lbs last week out of 6.6 total lbs lost.
We finally have him set up with an estimated FTP and a training peaks account with preloaded workouts. Last week was three 25 minute workouts. He did great on all of them. Definitely getting easier. The cycling coach will load next week’s workouts today. Probably around 30 minutes.
This week was huge because the cycling coach and I were gone most of the week at the St. George 70.3 Ironman. I was worried he wouldn’t show up for his workouts at the bike shop, but he still came and got them done by himself!
We ordered him a Cervelo road bike with disc brakes and e shifting. Hopefully it comes this week. He has a bike fit tomorrow, which he’s really excited about since his butt still hurts. Hopefully the bike fitter will be able to find him something more comfortable. Once his new bike comes the gutter will also build his bike to his bike fit measurements from tomorrow.
I don’t have any news picks of him, but I saw him last night and he said a few people could tell (maybe they’re lying) that he’s lost some weight. When I lost my weight, having people tell me they could tell I was losing weight felt great and was addicting.
Here are some pics of the 70.3. The cycling coach got 2nd in his age group. Huge accomplishment. Would have been 1st but he cramped a bunch.
My cousin got 2nd place for the pro women. Hoping for 1st since she’s a utah local and she’s never won this race. 2nd is great though.
I captained the volunteers at registration and the finish line. Went well and was a blast. Some lady with a sizable social media following posted a story featuring me, which was fun. Also some local educational channel here interviewed me. Not sure if more than 10 will see the interview with me.

Business/triathlon lady who posted me in her story. She invited me to go to Finland for the 70.3 Ironman world championship. Not really sure in what capacity. It would be fun to go to Finland all expenses paid, but if it’s just me and her the whole time, I wouldn’t feel comfortable doing it. If it’s with an Ironman group, then maybe.
