POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

From the Hood to Mt. Hood🏔️💯

Still trying to process this race and wrap my mind around everything that happened this past weekend. I’m not gonna lie I was crushed and heartbroken when I found out the race had been called off. This one hurt. It meant a lot to me being my first 100miler and the amount of work put in.

I made it 74 miles deep, and there was no doubt in my mind that I was going to quit. I was on a mission to finish. Still had plenty left in the tank to give. But as much as I wanted to chase that finish line, I’m grateful I got the opportunity to experience this weekend alongside my brothers. The energy, the people, and the camaraderie were unmatched. It was inspiring seeing everyone push and the support. The course itself was absolutely beautiful.

Just a few days before the start the course was changed to a looped format with an additional 5,000 feet of elevation. In my mind I was like oh yeaa let the curveballs begin. I was nervous, but I was ready to embrace whatever the mountain threw at me.

One thing this race reminded me is that, just like life, you can do everything right and things still won’t go your way. That’s just how it is sometimes. It is what it is. Take it on the chin, learn from it, and keep it moving.

There’s beauty in the unknown. You never really know how the story is going to unfold, and I think that’s part of the adventure. This weekend definitely challenged me in ways I didn’t expect I learned a lot about myself. I’m proud of the effort I gave, and I can confidently say I built my mountain legs haha. Even though the story didn’t end the way I hoped, I’m walking away with memories, lessons, and a deeper appreciation for the journey itself. Perspective.

Lastly, thank you to @lilant00 @_ajmen1 @van__gough perez who helped crew me this weekend and thugged it out through the long hours. Special shoutout to @younggdanii for taking the time outta your day to catch some photos/videos along the way. I wouldn’t have made it as far as I did without you guys. We had fun out there thru all the laughs, serious moments, and everything in between. Forever grateful❤️

Training together with purpose💯

Different backgrounds. Different paces. Different journeys. But one common goal to be better than yesterday.

Putting in work together while giving the Lord praise through it all. Wouldn’t be possible without Him✝️

What does DAWG Mentality mean to you?

Everybody’s journey is different, but we all have something that drives us to keep going. Whether it’s faith, discipline, loved ones, or proving to yourself of what you’re capable of.

Here’s what the DAWGS had to say!

MEET THE ATHLETE: CARLOS CHAVEZ
@carlos_c7c

As we count down to Ironman Waco we’re highlighting the athletes behind the TAF Racing Team.

Get to know the athlete behind the training, discipline, and miles that have gone into preparing for race day. Every athlete has a different story, different motivation, and their own reason for taking on the challenge.

Here’s a look into their mindset and what keeps them pushing forward.
—
-Who inspires you?
I’m inspired by my faith, my loved ones, and all of those who are out there getting after it. Whether it’s in athletics, faith, family, or life, seeing other people strive to become better makes me want to do the same.

-What drives you as an athlete?
Becoming the best version of myself and finding out what I’m actually capable of. Endurance sports have taught me that there’s always another level physically, mentally, and spiritually. I want to keep pushing that limit and see just how far I can take myself.

-Favorite Bible verse or quote?
Philippians 4:13 — “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

It’s a reminder that my strength doesn’t come from me alone. Whether I’m going through something difficult in life or pushing myself during training or a race, my faith gives me something bigger to lean on.

-Favorite post meal?
An all-you-can-eat sushi place. 😂🍣 After burning thousands of calories during a long training day, there’s nothing better than knowing I can just keep ordering.

-What’s your favorite and why? (Swim/Bike/Run)
Running, easily.

Coming back to running helped get me back in shape, but it became much bigger than that. It helped me set my priorities straight and put my life back in order mentally and spiritually. There’s something about those miles where it’s just you, your thoughts, and God.

Triathlon has made me appreciate swimming and cycling in completely different ways, but running will always feel like home.

—

-Who inspires you?
Someone who inspires me is my grandpa, watching how much he sacrificed and how hard he work motivates and inspires me every day.

-What drives you as an athlete?
What drives me as an athlete is being grateful for the opportunity of movement. Knowing that not everyone has the ability to do the same.

-Favorite bible verse or quote?
Proverbs 4:25 (NIV)
“Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you.”

-Favorite post meal?
Bottomless sushi

-What’s your favorite and why? (Swim/Bike/Run)
Bike, because it tests me the most.

-What’s your must have fuel for endurance.
Stinger gels

-What does Doing All With God mean to you?
DAWG means to keep God at the forefront of everything I do. Without him I can’t go far.

—
-Who inspires you?
Definitely my family, being a father shifts your focus in all aspects. Sport and competing has always been part of my life. The dedication that I put in, I want my children to see and resemble that in their life and be that inspiration for them

-What drives you as an athlete?
I’ve always been driven by competition and looking forward to the next challenge, seeing what I’m truly capable of, fortunately I can share fitness with my brothers and parents seeing them do it also drives me to be better

-Favorite Bible verse or quote?
2 Timothy 4:7
“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith”

-Favorite post meal?
Good ole HOME MADE breakfast tacos!

-What’s your favorite and why? (Swim/Bike/Run)
I’m not the best at any, but honestly enjoy all of them. But I can say swim has been the part of my training that I’ve enjoyed the most and never thought I would be decent at it, when your in the water you can block everything else out and just think about the moment

-What’s your must have fuel for endurance?
Nothing in specific but a little electrolytes and caffeine before any training session really keeps me going

-What does Doing All With God mean to you?
The dawg mentality to me came at a the right time in my life, every time I represent “doing all with god” it reminds me that everything I do, I do it to honor God and through God I have the ability and privilege to wake up every day and do what I love to do
