5 Weeks Out

*Cliche´* It feels like it was just yesterday that we started this long journey.

Now we are getting down to crunchtime and we need to start kicking butt and taking names! I'm stoked to see what the results are going to be. I started using a new app that tracks my workouts, so I will try to use it durng my runs and cycling to let you all see where I am.


IF YOU ARE READING THIS DONATE!!!

Why didn't ANYONE tell me I looked like THIS!!!!

So we had our first open water swim today. It was definitely a challenge with the wet suit and of course the choppy water but I think we all did a great job. It took a little getting used to breathing in the suit but once you got it, it was smooth sailing.

Thank you to Maria for capturing the difficulties of getting into the wet suit AND my ridiculous AFRO!!! I didn't think it was this bad, seriously. I know it's long but this looks like I just stepped out of a 70's disco. Alas, I will continue to grow it as hopefully more votes come in to determine my race day hair style.

Big shouts to everyone who has donated thus far and to everyone supporting Will and I in our quest to find our inner triathletes and raise money and awareness for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

The latest scoop. Keep up the support as we are now at two months til race day.

Aright Bammas, my bad for being mad late on the blog tip. However, I need you all to realize that I haven't blogged in over a year. I promise to VLOG and all the other hypebeast stuff yall have come accustomed to seeing and hearing from me.

On that note check your boy in ultra fat guy mode:

The Latest Scoop to Keep You in the Loop

Hey World,

Just an update for everyone keeping up with Team Lambda throughout our Team in Training experience. As you can see to the left, we've raised quite a bit of money but we still have a long way to go. Enjoy!

Before

Juan's Progress & Before Pictures

Progress: I have noticed an increase in endurance throughout my work out sessions. Swimming is coming along, working my way up toward the 12 laps I need to complete. I have successfully made it across the entire length of the pool about 4 times (w/ breaks). We still need to raise $500 a piece, as well as qualifying for the swim (completing the 12 laps non-stop).

This cause is not only for Leukemia & Lymphoma, you are helping these three young men (us) promote health and a well-rounded lifestyle as we put in work for a good cause. ... We thank you in advance.

Goal: Put on some healthy weight and build up the upper body. Any suggestions, please post.

Action Plan: Increasing food intake (don't know what quite yet) ... Lots of running, swimming (learning to swim), Upper body and torso weight training. I am also going to try whey protein shakes.

Alright here goes nothing ....







I will be posting after pictures toward the end of the training. Right now I have to hit the pool.
