Bucket list item: finishing the 70.3 World Championship in Nice with my dad 🫶🏼

But actually, how many people get to say that?! I don’t think I’ll ever be able to put into words how grateful I am to share something like this with my biggest role model, the person who has always supported me, challenged me, and pushed me to become the strongest and best version of myself.

This race was far from perfect. Getting there was an adventure in itself, the course was rough, and my execution definitely wasn’t what I had hoped for. More than anything, this was probably the first race I’ve ever started knowing I just wasn’t in the best place mentally or emotionally to race.

But somewhere along the way, that almost made me appreciate it even more.

I kept looking around at where I was, racing alongside some of the strongest women in the world, in one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been, with my dad out there doing the same thing and so many of my favorite people there cheering us on, and thinking, how the heck is this my life?

So even when the race wasn’t going the way I wanted, there was still so much to smile about. So much to be grateful for. So many people to hug at the finish line.

I may not be proud of the result, but I’m proud that I finished. And even more than that, I’m grateful for a body that lets me do crazy things like this, a supportive family & boyfriend that makes these dreams even more special, and a life that I genuinely have to pinch myself over sometimes.

And somehow, this was only the beginning of the best two weeks. More to come :) taken in Nice, France by @brynkylie

Ironman Lake Placid, you were a dream.

If you had asked me a few months ago what I thought I could do on this course, I never would’ve given you a time. My goal was simple: cross the finish line, smile as much as possible, and enjoy every second of getting to race the course I’d dreamed about for so many years.

When people talked about A, B, and C goals, even my A goal was 13 hours. Everyone kept reminding me how hard Lake Placid is, and they were right. But somewhere along the way, I stopped racing the clock and started racing for something much bigger.

I stood on these same course as a 9-year-old little girl, cheering for my parents for hours in the pouring rain. I thought they were superheroes then… and I still do now. Coming back to finish the very race that made me fall in love with this sport is something I’ll never be able to put into words.

More than anything, this training block taught me balance. We were only home two weekends the entire time, but I made a promise to myself that I wouldn’t put life on hold. I said yes to the trips, the dinners,the celebrations, and the people I love. My number one priority never changed: spending time with people who make me a better person.

And to my parents…

Thank you for showing me what perseverance looks like long before I ever understood it. Thank you for believing in me on the days I didn’t believe in myself. You taught me that we can do hard things, that we should always shoot for the stars, and that the finish line is never just about the race.

I hope you know that every finish line I cross has a little bit of you in it.

I love you both more than words can ever say, and I promise I’ll spend my life trying to make you as proud as you’ve always made me.

Forever grateful for this life🤍 taken in Lake Placid, New York by @brynkylie

Words can’t describe how proud I am of my friends and my dad 🤍 This race was tough, but every single person crossed that finish line smiling.

Seeing 30+ friends out there, the volunteers, the happy tears, it all meant everything.

Watching you show up, push through, and believe in yourselves… that’s what this is all about.
