First, a quick accountability check. Cal and macros were pretty good. Unexpected trip to Costco and timing made for an impromptu hotdog which affected fat and protein targets. Steps have been perfect for a couple weeks now.

Welp, another year, and another lottery and point miss for Norseman. At 300 points I look to be at 406th place. For me to climb in rankings, I need to be at least in the 5 to 6 hundred range to have a chance at top 100. That’s if others aren’t completing a bunch of races. When I complete the .6 half iron tomorrow, I’ll earn 15 points. When I do 6 months of 32 hours a training a month, I’ll earn 70 points. Then in February I’ll do the ROUVY Norseman bike climb to earn 10 points and a lottery draw. In Nov and Dec I’m considering doing the .8 and then the full distances which would bag me another 20 and 25 points respectively. 140 altogether to put me at 440 pts. Feels like I’d still need to take another shot at Starvation OR I’d need to find a cross-seas adventure that may have a more modest climb to grab another 200 points. At 640 maybe I’d have a chance… Cross my fingers for a lottery moonshot in February?
