Grinding out this week after low test grade on Monday. Had a great day yesterday, hit chest, 3000m swim, and had some softball I was fortunate enough to get to participate in. Feeling strong in the pool! Gonna start working on the bike, I am borrowing a buddy’s indoor trainer! So some bike content is on the way. I know these are long edits but I’m working on getting them shorter, about 5 minutes of clips here. Watch til the end to see a softball home run in our home run derby!

Also, @appliednutrition pls sponsor me.

Welp, got the legs maxed out! 425 officially max, but my wrist wrap was coming off and I could’ve had more depth. Lmk what you think! I didn’t eat the day before very well so if I had more fuel I probably would’ve went for 440. Road to 500 begins but it’s gonna be hard while training for Waco 70.3. Sipping on this cherry icee ABE, wish they would sponsor me. Test on Monday! Let’s goo!

First post, post 69.1. This was a huge test to my training and to say the least I think I did well. Battling through terrible hip pain for 20 miles on the bike led to about 20-30 minutes of walking during the run. Couldn’t have asked for better weather to be in or people to be around for this race. 6hr 8min total time, 3:35 bike and 2:28 run.

With that being said, there’s definitely room for improvement! I was very undertrained, I can count on one hand how many times I trained the bike this past two months. That was so crucial to my day! The run was powered through, but definitely was unprepared on the bike. Due to weather conditions and debris in the river the swim was canceled. School makes a definite impact on training schedule.

As for now, I will be rehabbing the hip and muscles for recovery. Once I get to feeling decent again, I will probably start training for another one next year. Lots more time on the bike, and fixing my hip problem will improve my time drastically.

As for school, my last test is this week! I have 4 chances to pass this test and I have to pass to graduate from school, then I take my licensure exam.

More posts tomorrow, but here are some clips of an unforgettable first triathlon (biathlon lol!). Thank you all for the most overwhelming support, you guys make me feel very special.

Episode 1 of Bowling with Bradshaw. We took on bowling at The Lanes in Owasso. In the midst of all this training and studying, it is nice to decompress with one of my favorite buddies, Cade Bradshaw.

Nikes on my feet, haha jk they are the Adidas Hyperboost! I haven’t quite figured out how to post interesting content now that I’m not lifting weekly. I don’t like to carry my phone on runs and bikes. Also, I haven’t really done much besides grinding in the classroom because I was demoing a building and was stung by a red wasp. My leg has swelled up and looks goofy and is uncomfortable. That was about a 5 or 6 day setback. I am training well now though, 3000m in the pool yesterday and a high cadence 13 mile bike and 4 mile run immediately after. I feel prepared all around and need to just keep grinding. I’m not gonna set any records on the Waco Ironman but I’m ready to compete and get this over with, it’s bearing a lot of stress in my life right now while I’m finishing up school. Let’s goo! Stay active people

Strava said my July consisted of 20 days of working out, 161 miles, and 4,606 feet of elevation gain. I feel like I can do even better. School has been good, I have my final for the last chapter one week from today. I need at least a 70% to pass. Grateful for the pressure. Grateful for the grind. Grateful for great people and long days of working out. Let’s go!

Little brick sesh today. Before and after 2 miles, straight off the bike. Ran 6 miles last night so keeping it light. Also, my running shoes are giving out. I’m genuinely beginning to run them off the soles. No place I’d rather wear out a pair of shoes than on and around this hill by my house. Very special place to me. Gonna need a new pair for October potentially. The grind continues for Waco. Consistency and persistency. Let’s goo baby!
