It's ON!!

Well, after months of thinking about Ironman, finally signing up, selecting a training plan, it was finally time to start training.
The alarm went off at 5:30 and I was ready to roll. Last night I made sure the bike was all set on the trainer, so today all I had to do was get out of bed and start my 2x20' FTP test. I wish I had more to brag about, but let's just say I have nowhere to go but "up from here."
I tested an FTP of 155 (HRM wasn't working). This is way below where is should be, but not altogether surprising.
My next test is in 8 weeks, so I can only hope that I improve.
It's a long time until IMCDA, so I have the time I need. I just need to put in the work.
