🗣️ “I was never a runner… growing up I just wasn’t motivated in it. Started running during the pandemic, I’m a pandemic runner. Ran my first race, it was supposed to be a local half but I was told from people in the running community I should try a 10K first”

@ansonxlam saw early success in some of his first races, which led him to getting into longer distances. At this year’s RBC Brooklyn Half, he earned a qualifying time for the NYC Marathon.

The lessons I learned from last year's Chicago Marathon (2024):

(1) The marathon doesn't owe you anything. Two weeks before the marathon, I (stupidly) injured my knee attempting a dynamic move on the rock climbing wall. I tested the knee on the next Goodtime run and couldn't make it past a quarter mile without limping, eventually stopping. A week before the marathon. All my training. Sabotaged.

(2) Stick to the plan. I made it to the start line. My knee was still feeling a bit sore from the Kofuzi Shakeout Run the day before, but here we are. I popped some Ibuprofen and hoped for the best ("PR or ER" 🙃). For most of the race, I was feeling strong, and the knee was holding up fine. Maybe it was the drugs? The adrenaline? The race day energy? I was so caught up on riding this high that running 10-15 seconds faster a mile than what I trained for seemed manageable at the time... I would pay for this mistake after mile twenty (when I entered the pain cave ☠️).

Chicago Marathon 2024 wasn't my slowest marathon; it was my most poorly executed. I vowed to return in 2025 and seek redemption.

Chicago Marathon 2025 post coming soon!

Get you some friends that’ll relay for you! 😤

72 miles, 4,863’ elevation gain, ~12 hour day and the 7 most craziest, strongest group of friends out there!

The Lake Tahoe Relay Race was a daunting challenge but we totally “killed” it, built stronger bonds with each other and created core memories that’ll last a lifetime.

We are your friends. We are Boulder Dashers! 😎 taken in Lake Tahoe, California by @ansonxlam

(One of my favorite projects from 2024 - Green v5 @movementgymsbayarea, Santa Clara)

A year ago, I found myself in Tempe, Arizona on New Year's Day. In search of something to do, I spontaneously signed up for an Intro to Bouldering Class @arizonaboulderingproject. And the rest is history. Here's to more sends and fun climbs in 2025! 🎉

It's the marathon off season, and lately I've been spending more time on the wall.
