Intro

 In Autumn 2021, I listened to an amazing interview with Mike Trevino. Mike is an ultra-endurance athlete (check out his long list of athletic accomplishments). One thing he does is every year is run his age in miles (eg, he ran 45 miles to celebrate his 45th birthday).

I am never going to do anything like that, but the idea of performing a yearly endurance challenge to commemorate your birthday resonated with me. So I laid out plans for my next three birthdays. These may very well change, but this is a good plan to focus on for the moment:

Age 43: cycle 43 miles

Age 44: run 22 miles, then cycle 22 miles (aka, the Sexy Biathlon)

Age 45: run 45 miles (over a weekend).

Right now, it's February 2022. My birthday is in August. For even semi-serious cyclists, 43 miles isn't that long of a ride. But it will be for me. This site will allow me to track my progress.

Time to get started.
