haven't been able to mix much strength training with all the endurance

committed to 100 pushups a day (~2wks) in and it feels good!
Some ethdenver crossfit action with optimists

First long run since the IM. My base level of fitness for running got cooked in just 2 weeks! 😭

HR was above 160 the whole time, really had to dig deep

It's been a while since I said "Wow" out loud when testing a dev tool. Supersim (https://github.com/ethereum-optimism/supersim )did that for me

Props to @fahimsach for the pointer!
Now how does one stay in decent IM70.3 shape while reclaiming time for other things 🤔

Hoping to strike some balance with a lower but consistent weekly load and ramp up ~3mo out from the next race
What a journey this was with a lot of unexpected twists doing the IM 70.3 with @zain

Very grateful to finish considering a flat tire I could not fix alone in the cold.

I had a sub 6hr goal that I couldn't meet but that'll just make the next race feel that much better 🫡 💪🏾

Amazing framework for dealing with tough challenges. Especially one that can have uncontrollable external factors (BAD WEATHER).

& this is just the beginning. Higher

Wrapped up my first Iron Man 70.3 with @hamdi this past weekend.

tl;dr: I came up short in my first Ironman 70.3, earning a DNF (Did Not Finish) during the bike portion of the race. Three hours and 23 minutes in, with less than eight miles to go, the local police pulled me over as they opened traffic back up. I was under the impression I had 4 hours and 30 minutes for the bike—standard for 70.3 races—so I paced myself accordingly, keeping an average heart rate of 110, saving my energy for the run, where I felt strongest. Complaining won’t undo the DNF, but I won’t ignore that I put myself in this position.

Full reflection here: https://github.com/zainbacchus/public_blog/blob/main/content/8.%2070.3%20reflections.md
Went from swimming ~600yds in 1hr (45m rest lol) 3 months ago to swimming 3500yds in 1hr 20m

Unbelievable how far u can go if you just stick with it (I almost quit after day 2!)

So excited to share what DevX has been cookin this quarter, local Superchain development with 𝙎𝙪𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙞𝙢!! 🔴

Locally observe cross-chain interactions & iterate on multi-chain apps 🚀
◦ ship experimental features early (interop 👀)
◦ locally use OP protocol features and contracts
◦ fork a subset or all superchain remote state
◦ package in 3rdparty integrations (i.e bundlers)

Race in < 2 weeks! Reflected & lol'd at this exchange. Pretty sure I googled what a tri was

@zain: Ur ready.

3 days of rest felt like an eternity!! Felt really good to swim/bike today.

Still holding off on running as my leg isn't 100% yet
Legs are still giving me some trouble so i'm starting my taper early to sort it out

Had a good run on the receipts leaderboard 🫡
Reminder to foam roll and stretch!! My left calf pain i'm sure is due to tightness all over my leg from high load. so bad i've been slightly limping the last week

Just had the most excruciating massage that's already helped a ton 😭
Crushed my 5k PB by a minute - 20:38!! Had a rough gameplan this time around & successfully ran a negative split

Leaving off the glory of sub 20 post ironman when my body doesn't feel like it's on the verge of falling apart 😅

For the runners here -- has anyone's appetite for soda dramatically increased with mileage? Relatively new to the sport and I'm easily craving 2/3 cans of coke a day or with every meal lol

Used to hate drinking soda!

My fav part ironman training so far is wanting to tap out after the first track lap, 100yds of swimming, or 5mi on the bike then moving into the acceptance stage and getting comfortable being uncomfortable
Toughest track workout I did so far!! 10mi total, with sprint laps and hard mile intervals.

First time I made sure to refuel throughout the session and my legs feel completely fine and no post-run crash -- Game changer!!
