Over the weekend I traveled to breaktime in Cary NC for 2026 Us Amateur pool preliminary. I managed to play solid all weekend. Was down in the finals 5-3 after 8ball racing to 11 but beast mode finally turned on and won 8 straight 9ball games to win 11-5 and go undefeated for the weekend. By winning this will qualify me for the championship which I’ll be traveling to Vegas for in November!! Let’s goooo!!!! by @mrob0403

Wow where to begin about this awesome weekend in DC with a group of awesome people!

Started my weekend with pro solo on Friday morning super nervous cause if you follow me first pro solo in New York was a DNF for me with everything going wrong. This race went a lot better for me, pace it great, highlights at stations with my fastest burpee@broad jump time which normally crushes me and lunges went smooth. Only bummer was wallballs I sweat way to much lol kept slipping through the hands smh 🤦🏻‍♂️ I’m so proud how I bounced back from NYC

Then Saturday night got to team up with my bro @harrison2314, for my first ever pro doubles. both beat up from doing multiple races him second race in the same day lol just wild man lol. We prayed and tackled the race together. doubles was so much fun, we pushed each other to the max and bodies held up and had a solid time, met our goal of sub 1:10, I got to get faster on the runs and we coming back for sub 60 💪🏻

Pro solo time of 1:25:42
Pro doubles time 1:07:57

Proud of everybody that race this weekend you all did amazing! Thanks for the all the support from everybody! Thank you @alyanne20 for getting photos and videos of us during the race! Can’t wait until next jam packed Hyrox weekend! Now back to training and getting better! Let’s gooo!!!!

Been great getting back into big tournaments these last couple of weekends. Traveled to breaktime in Winston Salem one of the best pool halls around for sure for the jas makhani 9ball open. Played pretty solid all weekend had some up and down matches as well were I had to make comebacks to get the win. All in all happy with how I played. I ended up finishing 5-6th out a strong field of 94 players. Two losses were to pro players monaim neffati who ended up finishing third and to bj ussery who ended up winning it. Two real strong pro players so couldn’t be mad with those losses. Excited for the tournaments ahead. Great to see so many pool events on the calendar year now. It’s awesome, now back to working on my game just try and continue to get better by @mrob0403

Tough post to make but traveled up to New York City for my first ever pro solo Hyrox race debut over the weekend and everything that could have went wrong did. Started off great feelin good, was on pace for my runs and on stations and got clocked with penalties that i never have happened to me before but course was different layout then usual races and supposedly miss laps which i feel like might have been mistakes but nothing I could do.

90 degree weather was definitely tough racing conditions for everybody and about 30mins in my body just slowly started shutting down from I guess dehydrating. Was drinking much as I could but nothing seemed to help. Got to the 7th station of 8 at weighted lunges and that’s when my race completely crumbled. Body just couldn’t function to lunge and pressure of the weighted bag on my back made my back grow in pain and having a severe back injury in my life cause a case of worry but kept pressing forward. Longer bag stayed on my bag it made my left arm go numb and begun to have shootin pain to the point where I had to make a real hard decision and withdraw from the race. Hate having to quit but didn’t want to risk an injury and end my season. Definitely was sad and disappointed. Trained hard for the race and everything felt great going into race day but that day had different plans.

Definitely will be back to attempt again believe that. Took it easy last few days and ready to get back to work on getting fitter. Feelin normal again which good thing for sure. Next race on the calendar in September in Washington DC which will be my first pro doubles race with my bro @harrison2314 and I don’t won’t to let him down so I got work to do 💪🏻

Thank you @strongmamma for being the incredible person you are. Getting these pics and videos for me and screaming and cheering for me throughout this race. You’re so awesome and doing awesome on your solo debut! And thank you for all the support from people that followed along as I was racing on the app. Support means a lot I appreciate it! taken in New York City by @mrob0403

This past year we discussed and made it happen and got people out of pool retirement and got our Vegas Apa team back together with few new additions. We all Wanted to be able to hangout again at pool and of course mission is to have fun but all competitive want to win.

We traveled to Cary this weekend to play in the Raleigh Apa aloha finals were we went undefeated even with ups and down in the tournament and with a rollercoaster ride of final. Down 4-2 and faught back to give us a shot and our 2 Lexi Walker was clutch against the 6 on the final rack to get us the win.

So awesome to win this with my older bro Matthew Robertson and with great friends we’ve known for so many years now. It’s so awesome. Definitely one I will always remember. by @mrob0403

Yesterday was a lot of fun and definitely was challenged with toughest course I’ve ever raced. Me and my bro @theonlybuddylee traveled to chapel hill to take on the UNC 10miler. Both big unc tarheels fans it was cool to do this race and course was cool being we raced around campus. Biggest race we’ve done with thousands of runners. Last two miles of race was straight hills too so tough but great challenge. Shout out to buddy reaching his goal of sub 9min per mile pace on his race.

Finished with a time of 1:14:51 7:29 per mile pace which is a hilly course PR per mile average for me.
Finished 250th out of 5252 runners
Finished 204th out of 2269 men
Finished 26th out of 398 runners in my age group
Finished 22nd out of 208 in my age group

Really happy with these stats. In the top 10% even 5% in some of the categories. Really feels good to be back into competitive running. Been doing a lot more running and racing this year and it’s been great. Can’t wait to race a flat course and see what kind of speed I got.

Traveled to break time billiards in Cary NC over the weekend for the 10ball brawl 700 and under Fargo tournament. Saturday played great and went undefeated came back for day two and just one of those days just struggled but kept fighting and managed to make the finals. Ended up finishing 2nd in a real strong field losing to my friend Greg Kane. Congrats on the win you played well all weekend.

Im happy to have another solid finish and this was a great warmup for the us amateur pool championship that’s coming up this weekend as I’ll travel to Vegas for that. Feeling confident about my game and just going to go out there and give it my all like always. by @mrob0403
