Here we go!

Week 1 of my training plan begins tomorrow (technically Tuesday since Monday is a rest day). In preparation for Ironman Louisville, I will be following a 24-week training plan from Matt Fitzgerald's book, Essential Week-by-Week Training Guide.

The first 8-weeks are focused on building a solid aerobic base and letting my body adjust to doing 8-9 workouts per week.
