16th out of 110 at my first Enduro World Series 100 in Whistler this weekend! Stoked to have some top 10 stages and stay relatively clean all day (only hit two trees instead of the normal 5+ lol). Definitely one of the most fun days on the bike in my life.
Looking forward to packing everything up and flying out to the East Coast to do some more racing!

2026 Unbound XL 350mile gravel race complete! Ended up finishing in 23rd Men’s Open with a finish time of 29 hours and 52 minutes… the longest I’ve ever ridden my bike and most likely the longest I will ever ride my bike 😂
This race almost felt more like a spiritual journey with everything I / everyone racing went through. Turns out ‘good vibes’ can take you a long way! I met so many strong and awesome people, rode through a thunderstorm in the middle of the night, walked through probably 20 miles of mud, rode through another hail storm, and dealt with probably 5+ different mini mechanicals. Stubbornness is far more important than fitness at these ultra events! Ended up burning 15,500 calories, so I’m gonna spend the next week eating every sweet in sight!
Extremely grateful for @probikesupply for helping me get this bike setup on such short notice before this race. This was only my 3rd ride on my Salsa Flyway from them but it was the perfect setup for the day! taken in Emporia, Kansas by @jacob__downey

2026 Ironman 70.3 Oceanside through the lens of @eddie_hoffman
4:39:06 finish time taking off over 20minutes from my time 2 years ago! Sadly struggled with cramps all day from the swim onwards, but it’s pretty hard to not be stoked when you get to race in a place as beautiful as Oceanside with great friends around the whole course!

Finished my 2nd full Ironman this weekend and managed to go 50 minutes faster than last year, 8:58! @anniedowneyy and my cousins that came to watch were the best supporters!

Swim - 2.4 miles in 52:43 - Nice float down the lazy river
Bike - 112miles in 4:19:51 (25.8mph) - 2nd fastest bike of the day and broke the old bike course record. 245 avg power, 125grams of carbs / hour, and a speedy bike helped get it done!
Run - 26.2miles in 3:36:00 (8:23min/mile) - New Marathon PR and 30min faster compared to last year.

Extra shoutout to @chasing___excellence for calling me right before the start when the refs were trying to DQ my bike (they just didn’t know the rules 😂) and my coach @mat_mac for all the great workouts these past few months to make such big improvements recently!

Santa Cruz Ironman 70.3 went down this weekend and I managed a 15minute PR compared to last year, 4:24:33!

Stoked to come away with the fastest bike for my age group (2:11:10, 25.82mph, 272avg, 278 NP) and for the first time in my life, a completely cramp free run! 5 more weeks until we go again at the Full Ironman in Sacramento. Lots of training on tap from @allhardworkclub over these next few weeks.

The Downeys coming home with a 4th and 5th at Ironman 70.3 Oregon this weekend!

Swim: 20:17 - I’ve been slightly improving in the swim but the 15minute time improvement was just because we swam downriver 😂

Bike: Unofficially 2:10:38 (271 avg, 278 NP, 110g carbs / hour) - Came out of t1 and hopped on my bike to front flat tire… Ran back to the mechanic, got it pumped up, and went out only wasting 2minutes. Pushed some PR power, 290 watts avg for the first 1hr15min! Realized I likely couldn’t catch the 1st place biker so I dialed it back a bit to save some for the run.

Run: 1:34:50 - Came out of t2 in 2nd place and got my own “lead biker” for the first 2 miles! Super fun experience being at the front of the race! Came away with a new PR half marathon by 3 minutes.

4:15:33 finish time and excited to do it at Santa Cruz 70.3 in 6 weeks. But up next, back to my roots at the @downievilleclassic for some mountain bike racing!

We’ve officially had our house for a year…and what a year it has been. 4 months straight of working all hours of the night to make this house our home. And we’ve already filled it with so many memories and lots of girls nights (sorry jacob). I seriously can’t believe how lucky we are! taken in Costa Mesa, California by @jacob__downey
