Some notes on 70.3 Augusta:

1. I came in here hoping to fold some laundry but instead the Laundry folded me. @jacksonlaundrytri goes up to 2-1 against me on the year. I have some serious work to do if I’m going to even the series in La Quinta. As a friend and co-host of @thetriathlonhour “Road to Oceanside” series, I love to see Jacko in great shape after a long string of injuries and challenges. And @race_chase in 3rd showing off longevity that Lebron could only dream of.

2. Swimming - currently going through the arduous process of completely overhauling my stroke. Very little volume, very little “hard swimming”, loads and loads of drills. Going into this race I had swam a rep >100m only one time so I figured 1900m, even with the current assist, would be difficult. I was next to eventual winner @jacksonlaundrytri 150m into the swim which is probably the best first 150m I’ve ever done but it fell apart quickly from there. This will come around as I’m able to swim with good technique for longer and we’ll get a good sense of how well the @varga_triathlon method is working!

3. Ride/run - We heavily prioritized freshness to make maximum progress on the swim technique, so for the last ~8 weeks, I haven’t trained nearly as much as I had been all year. I rode 316w and ran 1:11 and it was the hardest race I can remember. I wanted to start walking so badly from ~5km into the run. Races are a lot easier when you train a sh*tload beforehand!

I worked really hard to get here so I won’t take another podium for granted, and really glad I was still able to nab one while in the “one step back” phase. “Two steps forward” soon.
One more race this year. Maybe two. Not positive yet. Lets go.

34 hours ago I was sat at the pro briefing in Jones Beach, NY as we were told the race was cancelled due to the incoming storm. Now I’m eating microwaved rice and chicken in a budget hotel room in Augusta, GA getting ready to rip for 3.5 hours tomorrow morning. Huge props to @ironmantri for quickly turning things around and giving us the opportunity to race and a million thank you’s to @irisfvrl who spent her last few days basically doing nothing but sitting on planes and cars with me.

Slovakia swim camp ended with @uptogether.triathlon, an incredible, community-based triathlon organized by Magdalena and Richard Varga. It was in the mountains and I brought no cool-weather cycling gear with me to Bratislava so Richard lent me a jacket and I think my fit is pretty fire here. We swam in a gorgeous mountain lake (as many laps as you felt like doing), rode in groups around the lake before it was every person for themselves up an awesome 8k climb, then an extended T2 with food and coffee, and finally climbing 1000m up into the clouds, finishing at the top of a ski resort. Met a lot of really great people and I couldn’t think of a better way to cap off an awesome month.

I’ll have more details on all the swimming and lessons/improvements in another post soon - it was a very productive month! taken in Liptovsky Mikulas, Slovakia by @archmdz

Took my name off the start list for 70.3 Worlds in Nice

Two main reasons:
1. Was never reeeaally planning on racing. I wanted to go IF I was swimming better this year, but I’m not. The hard truth is that I’m just not good enough at swim+bike+run to go and get a good result yet
2. I’m in Slovakia with @varga_triathlon // @varga_triathlon_academy doing a very swim focused camp and pulling back heavily on the bike and run. Going to Nice would’ve meant leaving a week early and I’d rather get the extra days in the water learning from the best swimmer in the history of the sport.

Making some really good progress with Richard and the method is more or less learning freestyle from scratch. It’s hard work, more-so cognitively than physically, but when I watch the video in slide 2 (a 50m rep in 35”) I see a completely different athlete already. Spending a month here isn’t a “quick fix” but I’m taking the long term approach to be able to show up to races in 2027 and come out of the water in a much better position.

Next race is 70.3 Jones Beach at the end of September. See yall in the big 🍎!

We’re super excited to announce Stamina is now the Official Training App Partner of @thetriathlonhour Podcast!

Two years ago, a few of us in London, alongside @gharpzorz and @archmdz, believed there should be a better way for self-coached athletes to train for triathlon.

Partnering with the #1 most listened to podcast in triathlon is a milestone we’re incredibly proud of, and a testament to the team’s hard work.

Together with TTH, we’re excited to help more athletes train better, stay consistent, and get to the start line ready for race day.

Onwards and upwards 📈
