Ironman 70.3 Chattanooga, TN race recap:

Swim:
- Unfortunately the swim portion was cancelled due to heavy rainfall a few days prior. Pretty disappointing because I’ve been seeing improvements in my swim paces during my workouts and I was excited to see how my training transitioned over into race day. Although there was some disappointment, I was still excited to display my training over on the bike and run.

Bike:
- Finished the bike portion in 2:50, which is an overall PR for me. I finished my first 70.3 bike in 3:03 so we ended up beating that time by 10min on a much tougher and physically demanding course. This course also had the highest elevation of any ride I’ve been on and my legs started to feel it. Was still able to hold an average speed of 20mph and 195watts, so overall I’m pretty happy with that. Still much work to do on the bike.

Run:
- Finished the run in 1:47, an overall half marathon PR for me. Everything seemed to click on this run. I’m not sure if it was because I actually fueled properly for this race, if all the brick training started to pay off, or a combination of both, but I felt great. Total 180 from my first 70.3 where I bonked on the run and finished in 2:07. Couldn’t be happier with this portion of the race.

Overall, even though the swim got cancelled and I was looking to go for a PR from my last 70.3, I still couldn’t be happier with how this past weekend went. Sometimes things may not workout the way you have them planned, and you can either let that have a negative effect on you, or you can learn from it and turn it into something positive. I always try my best to direct my thinking to the more positive sides of things and make the best out of every situation. I was still able to hit PR’s on the bike and the run. Got to meet and talk to some amazing new people. And I had my mom, girlfriend, and friends there to support me, so what more could I really ask for.. Next up, Ironman Florida, November 1st!

Weekend recap:
So this weekend I competed in my first ever bodybuilding show. I like to think of myself as someone that likes to do hard things, things that most other people wouldn’t want to do, and competing in a bodybuilding show was next on the list. I always said I would do at least one of these in my life to really challenge myself and see if I had what it takes to see it through. I came into this prep with only 10 weeks to get show ready, and let me tell you it was not easy. There were plenty of times where I questioned myself on whether I was going to make it through it or not, but that’s when I just had to redirect my thinking and remind myself that this is what I signed up for. I signed up to do these hard things, to challenge myself, to be different, and there wasn’t anything that was going to get in my way of accomplishing it. I don’t sign up to do these things to win a trophy or 1st place. I sign up for these things because they’re hard and challenging, and because that’s the only way to grow and learn more about yourself. But, with that being said, even though this was a smaller show, I did take home 1st place, a pro card, and a best poser award which is pretty cool. It’s truly amazing what you can accomplish with a little bit of consistency, discipline, and relentless effort. Everyone is capable of it, but not everyone is willing to go to the lengths it takes. Thank you to everyone who supported me these past 10 weeks, you know who you are! I know I probably wasn’t the most pleasant person to be around at times, but I couldn’t be more thankful for you! WE DID THAT THANG! On to the next! taken in Brevard Nc by @rhett03
