Florida Trail Riders “Alligator” Hare Scrambles, Silver Master “B” Class

A better day! Finished feeling strong and built some confidence back up. Which I desperately needed to do!!!
I ended up 17th on the day, and while that isn’t where I want to be, I overcame some of the physical obstacles that I have been dealing with the previous few months and felt good about my progress. Getting stronger, getting confidence back and getting better.
Unfortunately that’s the end of the season for me as I will not make the last race in May. Next FTR season will begin in October, so I will now continue to work on improving for next season and hopefully getting back into the top 10! Can’t wait!

Looked better than last race. Pushing to the end.

Great job bro!! Glad to here everything checked out.

Thanks Mac! I’m going to keep working on it and try to improve.

Appreciate the shout outs, we’re all in this together bro. You’re looking much better. Still need you to go deep with cardiologist (heart cath). And then I want you to beat Pierpont.

[@lp4619]

I am following your advice. Met with the cardiologist last Tuesday and have an echocardiogram and heart calcium scan set for next week. They also have me set to wear an event monitor. I will keep you posted and will hopefully see you at the Richloam Enduro, unfortunately I can’t make the last HS. And…I’m going to do my best to beat Pierpont again soon…lol!

Great! My heart calcium score was over 500, should be closer to zero. Cheap test that can really give good indication of artery health. Good news is you can reverse the calcium build up with proper diet (vit K2). Echocardiogram is the most definitive. Can’t wait to hear results, see you at richloam.

Hey LP, I’m on JB’s team and I’ve been going through the same thing. Fading when others just keep going. It turned out I was iron deficient and it’s gotten better but sometimes I still fade. I was sucking wind on the second lap but I still caught ya. :). Did JB talk to you about the carnivore diet? Has really helped in so many ways.

[@lp4619]

Hey Howie, I did talk with JB just before the start of that race. He talked to me about getting a few other things checked out, which I am doing now, but did not mention the carnivore diet. Interestingly, my 25 year old daughter is following that diet now and says she has never felt better. I will check it out, thanks!
