🏊 We Survived Day 2 of Ironman Training... Barely | Tour de Donut Recap, Weight Check & TrainingPeaks Reality Check
The Ironman 70.3 training officially begins... and it's already kicking our asses.
This week on 2 Guys 1 Scale, we kick things off with another weigh-in to see if Charles managed to stay under 300 pounds after finally breaking the barrier last week, while Scott continues working toward his goal of getting under 210 before Ironman 70.3.
Then it's time to recap one of the most ridiculous cycling events we've ever done—Tour de Donut. We rode nearly 40 miles through rain, hills, and Missouri back roads while eating glazed donuts to earn time bonuses. Scott ate 10 donuts, Charles ate 8, our buddy Jared had an unforgettable emergency stop in a cornfield, and somehow everyone survived.
We also dive into our first two days using a professionally built TrainingPeaks Ironman 70.3 plan, including:
- FTP bike testing on Zwift
- Swim threshold testing
- TrainingPeaks data overload
- Charles' hilarious battle with technology
- Heart rate monitor disasters
- Apple TV, iPad, and Zwift troubleshooting
- Why we're both way more sore than we expected
This episode is equal parts cycling, triathlon training, weight loss, and complete chaos.
- ⚖️ Weekly weigh-in (Did Charles stay under 300?)
- 🚴 Tour de Donut race recap
- 🍩 How many donuts did we actually eat?
- 🌽 The infamous cornfield bathroom emergency
- 🌧️ Rain, hills, and 37 miles of suffering
- 🏊 First TrainingPeaks swim threshold workout
- 🚴 FTP testing on Zwift
- 📈 Learning to trust the training process
- 💪 Half Ironman 70.3 preparation continues
If you're on your own weight loss journey, training for your first triathlon, obsessed with cycling, or just enjoy listening to two idiots make questionable decisions in the name of fitness, this episode is for you.
