Coming for the #1 spot. Back to work.

Having my baby Lucy on the course was a dream. Check the pics and vids :)

I finished 10th overall and 3rd in my age group. Got everything I could out of myself. It was scorching hot and I respect the 9 dudes who cooked my a$$.

I had the 4th fastest run and proud to say I had the fastest Transition 1 out of everyone (aka pure hustle, pure grit, thank u).

A great weekend I’ll remember forever.

Throwback Thursday to our spring training camp in Girona, Spain last year. A must visit destination if you’re a fan of good food, old city charm, good coffee, and of course, cycling.

— Ironman Training Update —

Season 1, Weeks 27 - 30
* 🏊‍♂️ 11.3 miles swimming
* 🚴 318.8 miles biking
* 🏃 69.7 miles running
* Total = 399.8 total miles

Life adjustments and training have been the theme over the last few weeks.

It has been really fun running and being a part of @emmaleedubs marathon prep too! I’ve been able to adjust some of my long runs to coincide with hers. Her marathon is less than two weeks away!

Coach @bigdogtri18 says it is going to keep turning up a notch week by week and I’m really looking forward to it.

9 weeks out from Ironman Arizona.

Let’s do this.

Ironman World Championships done and (got) dusted.

A dream that’s been in the making for quite a while now. So much time and effort has gone into this year and it couldn’t have been possible without the amazing people and team around me. We’re sore, we’re chafed, and most of all we’re in need of a beer.

Until next time, Kona 🌺

Feel like I’m just getting started. Itching to race again.

9:11 at ironman world champs this past weekend. Was able to shave 29 minutes off of my time from 2 years ago.

Executed the race exactly as planned. I love how predictable this sport is. There are no secrets and there are no surprises. At least that’s what a great coach ( @bigdogtri18 ) and great training gets you.

The job is nowhere near finished. This is me exhaling the pain from 9 hours full tilt, and starting to plot for the comeback 😤

Cool temps make running easy. How slow do you think I’m going? Hint: slow.

This post contains a summary of my triathlon career, which started January 1, 2021 by way of training and with my first race on August 7, 2021.

I’ve been coached by @bigdogtri18 since day 1. Great progress has been made but there is a incredulous amount of progress still to come.

This will be my second year with @team_octagonelite as you may have seen from previous posts.

I truly feel I’ve only reached about 20-25% of my potential so I am excited to see how much further I can go.

The job is not finished.

Btw, This is by far my number one played song while training indoors this year.

Lucky to have @sambamhilde by my side. She provided the CCTV footage captured on Ironman Arizona run course at different points throughout the marathon. I Had an 8 minute lead in my age group coming off the bike, but down a sizable amount to dudes in front of me. There were a few out and back turnaround points on course so you could see exactly how far behind or ahead you were from competition.

Came out screaming, dialed it back, hung on, then reaaalllly hung on.

Coach @bigdogtri18 giving me splits and pushing me the entire race was epic. I left everything out there.

Told myself never ever EVER again…. LOL (see first sentence).

45 min lift this morning caught via CCTV footage.

I lift 2x a week. This is clearly evident by my lack of muscles across every inch of my body. Wish I could do more. But, there is a preposterous amount of work that needs to be done across the 3 disciplines of triathlon. So here we are, doing a full body strength session. I did about 5 min active warmup prior.

Workout:
- 3x16 steps walking lunge with weight overhead. I switched between 25 DBs and a 45 lb plate

- 3x10 DB step ups each leg. Shown on video is 50s

- 3x10 pull-up with 20lb weight vest

- 3x6 1/2 kneeling shoulder press with 50lb DB

- 2x8 slider lunge with 35lb DB

- 3x4 SL hamstring curl with slider. These are tough.

- 2x8 windmills. Did these with 35lb DB.

- 2x25 abmat crunch with 25lb weight

- 2x10 slow (mostly on way down, eccentric) SL calf raises. Held a 50lb DB and rest 2 fingers on rack to stabilize.
