I biked for a brisk 14 mile this evening around DC Ranch in calm winds. My lungs are not working at full capacity yet, but my legs felt pretty good. As I write this, I feel a slight tweak in my lower left back. It is frustrating to deal with all these niggles all the time.
The results for the 2014 Kona Ironman World Championship Lottery are in. I estimated my odds at around 1 in a 1,000 so it is no surprise that I didn’t get in. The only good news is that this opens up my summer to work on much-needed core strength. I’m sure you can find this list somewhere on the Ironman website, but here is a list of the lucky 100 who got in. Best of luck to all of them.
