VIRTUAL RACE UPDATE

Ironman Virtual Racing Update

As in person races continued to be cancelled for 2020, the IM VR series continues to happen every weekend.

The full distance IM race that I am scheduled for in November does not seem likely and I am ok with that being cancelled.

These virtual races are fun, but at this point I think it has just become another workout for the day as this pandemic continues.

The gym that I use in Covington is now open. It is still pretty empty in there and I feel somewhat comfortable running on the treadmill in the gym. So the last couple of VR Races, I have used the treadmill to make my life a little easier. That might change as virus case counts track, so we will see...

Here is the updated list from VR-9 to the present.

I would like to think that I have made some progress, but to be honest, I don't see it. My times are just becoming very consistent on the bike and the run is just slow.
