I’m not crying, you’re crying.

A better day for the RPG coaches than we could have hoped for at #imoz

Things Kona can’t unsee …

Fun morning at the @ironmantri Pro Am. I definitely regretted the late night celebrating @crowiealexander Hall of Fame. @jonnytye1 and @samappo were locked in and battled it out for the victory. I was stoked to share the podium with these two legends.

Mahalo!

⚠️MOST DANGEROUS ANIMAL in all of Australia?

Are you scared of Australian 🇦🇺 wildlife?

Seriously it’s not the sharks 🦈 snakes 🐍 crocodile’s 🐊 or spiders 🕷️that we Aussies fear the most ! ……….It’s the territorial, amped up aggressive and vicious Magpies ! These guys literally hunt you down! Hit hit in the head and attack for minutes!🤬

If you are a triathlete or cyclist in Australia 🇦🇺 you know exactly what I’m talking about! 🤯😂

🎥#repost 🙏🏻Thank you @hamish_james141 for this awesome video

Last week was the final “big” week of the Kona build, and naturally I had one question:
How big can we go?
So I called my old overtraining self out of retirement, gave him the keys, and told him to have fun!
Final damage:
One full day off, Monday, as I was so cooked from the previous week. 🏊 30K swimming To be fair, I would estimate only about 400 of that was actual swimming, during a swim where I was able to draft off of @reese.northen

🏃 67 miles + 5,000 ft of climbing Including a track workout with the GORGEOUS @samappo himself 📸: @itskennywithrow , followed by 20 miles on the infamous Magnolia Road with the best sherpa in the business, @life_of_jeffg .
🚴 500 miles + 23,000 ft of climbing Including my longest ride ever on Saturday: 160 miles, 11,000 ft of climbing, 1,100g of carbs, one rainbow, and one bee sting at mile 75.
Honestly, pretty complete day if you ask me!
🏋️ 2 strength sessions Usually it is 3, but Magnolia Road absolutely trashed my legs on Sunday, so had to sacrifice the last one for the greater good.
A few romantic evenings with the lacrosse ball.
And even more snacks and treats than last week!

Are we in too deep?
Possibly.
Thankfully, I now have three weeks to find a ladder tall enough to climb out of the hole I enthusiastically dug for myself.
But I am healthy, I am happy, and apparently I can eat 1,100 grams of carbs on a bike #guttraining
Health is wealth, baby.
Kona in 3 weeks. 🌺

Sam Appleton has spent more than a decade racing at the front of the sport, but for his final professional race, he chose something different.

Cold water, wild winds, unpredictable weather. 226 km through one of the most remote landscapes on Earth.

No easy farewell.

We’re so proud that Sam has chosen PATAGONMAN to close this chapter of his career.

Be sure to watch it.

On March 6, 2016, Sam Appleton crossed the finish line first at IRONMAN 70.3 Buenos Aires, becoming the winner of the first IRONMAN race held in Argentina.

Ten years later, we went back to that day with him. To the memories, that race, and a story that also marked the beginning of ours.

Thank you, Sam, for being part of these 10 years of IRONMAN Argentina.

And before the time comes to hang up the trisuit… who knows. We’d love to see you race at home again. 🇦🇷😉
