I’m completing an IRONMAN on October 18th, in honor of TOMMY MARK™️

The past 11 months of training have been a reflection of the impact Tommy has had on me and how he continues to serve as my ‘why’, the same way it was throughout my soccer career and will continue to be throughout my life. It has been the experience of a lifetime to take that and turn it into something bigger than myself.

To honor his legacy, I’m raising money again for the TM23 Foundation. In May I raced my first triathlon and raised $2,563. I’m honored to do it again for a cause that means a lot to me.

This foundation, started by Tommy’s parents Nikki and Doug, develops initiatives that inspire children to play, pursue their dreams, be themselves, and have a positive impact on their community. Tommy’s love for soccer became an inspiration to develop multi-purpose athletic fields in his name. “Tommy’s Fields” are for everyone and a place where Tommy and his passion for soccer will always be remembered.

On Race day (Oct 18th), I’ll be swimming 2.4 miles, biking 112 miles, and running 26.2 miles, aiming to break 10 hours. The 11-month training journey has transformed my life, driven by my goal to inspire and honor those with struggles in their life.

Any donation, or simply sharing this page, is greatly appreciated. LINK IN BIOOOOO

As Tommy said, “It’s Not a Game, Issa Lifestyle.”

Ironman 70.3 Chattanooga
5:20:22 | 38th/234 AG

Completed my first triathlon and raised $2,563 for @tm23foundation. The whole training journey and ability to do it for a purpose bigger than myself made this the most fulfilling experience of my life so far. Thank you to everyone that donated🙏🏼

Overall: I learned so much about myself and made sure to race my heart out. My 2 performance goals were to break 5 and negative split the run. Couldn’t hit the time due to mistakes but finished the run at a 5:50 pace😤. Looking back at data I had a higher ceiling across all 3, with 124, 136, 159 HR. All learning lessons for the full.

Swim: Went in a slower group so had to overtake most of the swim, losing some minutes. Overall felt great and controlled, but transition was poor and forgot gels which cost 2 minutes.

Bike: Most enjoyable part and the scenery was beautiful. I was well trained for the elevation but honestly should’ve pushed harder, my heart rate was only 136avg.

Run: 90° was heinous but the negative split was perfectly executed. Realized I could’ve started at a faster pace and hit sub 1:40.

This is just the beginning i’m coming for sub 5 next and sub 10 at the full ironman.
