ironman canada | week 20

Week 20. How on earth is it already week 20 of Ironman Canada training?! Pretty sure it was yesterday – it was just February 1, right? – that I embarked on this journey. That said, it’s been a pretty fantastic one so far, and two months from today, I’ll be swimbikerunning to my very first iron{wo}man finish line!

I learned a couple key things this week. One: Wear sunscreen. Even if it’s cloudy, wear sunscreen. I didn’t apply it before my four-hour bike ride on Sunday, and I’m paying for it. My back is fried! You’d think I’d know better after seven years of lifeguarding at an outdoor pool.
