Half Ironman North Carolina. 🏊🏽‍♀️🚴🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️

Last year, I tore my tricep. So, of course, the minute I was cleared to swim, I decided to train for a Half Ironman. 😂

I had a goal in mind, and I didn’t hit it. BUT I still crushed it.

The day before the race? 86° and sunny. Race day? 60s and rain. 😂

Even with the weather, it was a phenomenal event and experience.

@linzanityfit told me to not get in my head when I checked my time after every event, I’m at where I’m at. That kept me moving ♥️

Super thankful for @cortney9857. She made the drive with me and supported me the whole time.

Her words of advice on race day?

“Don’t fuck up.” 😂

Mini road trip to Niagara Falls for a 5K this morning with friends! 🎃 Ran a little faster (18:25) this year and felt a lot better!

I have always been the person that runs better off less running and more cross training, and that's what triathlon did for me this year!

Time for another road race or two and then to take off some time before more fun adventures next year 😉

🇫🇷 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP. NICE, FRANCE. 🇺🇸
Some races are about the finish line.
Some are about the journey that got you there.
For me, racing the toughest IRONMAN 70.3 at World Championship in Nice, France was about both.
Standing in France, I was surrounded by history — from the beaches of the Mediterranean to the battlefields and bunkers of Normandy, and the streets of Paris. France carries so much history, sacrifice, resilience, and stories of people who pushed forward when the odds were against them.
That became a pretty powerful reminder of why I do this.
I’m not a professional triathlete. I’m an amateur who has a full-time life, responsibilities, setbacks, injuries, bad training days, and plenty of moments where getting to the next workout is a challenge.
But somehow, mile by mile, workout by workout, race by race, that journey brought me here — to one of the highest levels of amateur triathlon in the world.
Nice wasn’t just about competing in a World Championship. It was about seeing how far you can take something when you refuse to stop pursuing it.
And getting to race on the same roads, along the same coastline, and in a country with so much history made the experience even more meaningful.
I came to France to race.
I left with a reminder of why I race.
🇺🇸🇫🇷
Dream big. Keep showing up. See how far you can go.

Lindsey is a great announcer when she’s not winning our races.

The high performers have more of an issue with this one. Off-season, what do you do?

There's little to no structure, and there can be a tendency to think we better just get started early on next season! Sometimes that's okay - provided you've recovered well from the season you just ended. But a lot of times we might need a break from the routine, and from some of the volume.

Now is a good time to keep moving but with more planned rest, and mixing it up a little. Throw back in some more of your strength work, maybe hit a yoga class. Really make sure you are physically (and mentally) ready for the next season to begin!

Don't start your season already broken. Take the time to work on any little issues you're having now. Now is the time when you can take a step back if you need to let things heal fully.

Roc Tri Recap 🩷

No pre race puking this time - good start.

My best swim of the season. Either more time in the pool is paying off OR I just really nailed drafting off the stronger swimmers this go around (prob a little of both)

Bike was fun, but I prefer more climbing 😬 just tried to keep good positioning before the run

Had my work cut out for me when I got to the run, but my legs can usually figure that part out as long as I eat enough carbs (I got really good at eating sugar in timed intervals in recent years running trail ultras)

Happy to finish 2nd overall in a competitive field and share the podium with these two kick ass women 🫶🏻

This was my favorite race in a long time - it's so much more fun to race with all of your friends 🫶🏻

It may look like triathlon training, but we're actually just playing mermaids 🧜🏻‍♀️

@linzanityfit was my OG triathlon training partner back in 2015. We met up for a 5 hour bike ride without ever meeting first 😂 (probably a questionable decision at the time but it worked out). I'm glad you weren't some sketchy guy Linz! 🫶🏻

I started swimming again this past fall after 8 years off and Lindsey was there for it, pulling me right back into the sport like I never left! So grateful for having the best training partners!
