"It simplifies the process of tracking macros. It is literally a legal cheat code to recover faster."
About Justin.

Signed up for IRONMAN Texas four months later. Two seasons in, middle-distance focused, full-distance on the horizon.

Palmarès.
60th AG.
Made it to the start line of the 70.3 World Championships and finished 60th in age group. The motivation now is to come back faster.
Full distance at 18.
Four months from sign-up to start line. First race at full Ironman distance. Walked away in love with the process.
Run it home.
Fastest swim split of any 70.3 to date. Lost a 120 g carb bottle on the bike. Rolled an ankle in a road crack at km 8 of the run and held it together to the finish.

Track to recover.
Tracking food is what keeps the body recovering well enough to take the next session and stay out of the injury bin.
Fuel the session.
The right amount of fuel during training is the difference between a session that builds you and one that breaks you. It also shortens the recovery clock.
Always carry water.
Water bottle goes everywhere. Hydration is the easiest thing to get right and the most expensive thing to get wrong.
Looking back at Oceanside.
"Fastest swim split of any 70.3 I have done. On the bike, my legs felt flat and weak for the first 20km then warmed up but never came alive. I dropped a 120g carb bottle halfway through the leg, which I felt later. On the run, my lower back was tight for the first 7km, then I caught a foot in a road crack and the pain came in two kilometres later. I had to stop a couple of times to relieve it. A slow run for me now, in pain, is still faster than a fast run was last season. Take the development."
The road back from the crash.
"Fractured my shoulder and tore my pec on May 3rd on the last day of altitude camp in Font Romeu. Twenty-three days post-crash I am back on the turbo, running with one arm, slowly integrating the arm back in. Alghero 70.3 is June 7. It will be tight, my swim will not be where I want it, but it is my last shot at qualifying for the 70.3 World Championships in Nice this year. So let's try."
