DAY 112 • 🌬️🌦️ La préparation Ironman se poursuit, déjà 12 semaines de passées. ⏳ Un peu compliquée ses derniers jours, avec pas mal de fatigue. Depuis le début de la prépa, tout s’enchaîne plutôt bien. Sauf pour le vélo, c’est la cata ou plutôt « et, c’est Franklin »🐢😩. Et la météo ne m’aide pas dans le bon sens, entre le vent et la pluie 🌧️. Bref, je retourne au charbon. Le compte à rebours tourne, un peu trop vite d’ailleurs. 🔏 Ironman Frankfurt 18 Août 2024
Biggest swim week ever this week, including 1x2km and 2x3km continuous swims, and 1 squad session. Swimming is by far the leg of triathlon that I find the hardest, so this week has been really good from a confidence perspective. 2 weeks until the big day! 🏊🏼♀️ 🚲 🏃🏽♀️ ☺️😬🥰 #justkeepswimming #swimlife #trilife #swimbikerun #ironman #ironmantraining #firstironman
Resilience is this great buzz word, but what does it really mean? 🤔 The way I think about resilience is having the mental toughness to be able to push through and persevere, no matter what obstacles you encounter. 💪🏻 But we often fall into this trap of thinking that resilience is this magical quality that you’re just born with. ✨ You either have it or you don’t. Not true. Building resilience and mental strength is just like learning how to swim, bike, and run. It takes time, practice, and you have to put in the work.

☺️Three goals going into today: 🥉 New PB (2021 Royal Parks Half 1:59:58) 🥈 Close to 1:50 - take anything 1:55-1:50 with heat & conditions 🥇 Sub 1:50 - an absolute dream given the set up… With @strava clocking a 1:47:42 and Apple stopping just over the distance at 1:48:27 - this being my OFFICIAL @lakegarda42 time… EITHER WAY - Im absolutely buzzing. 🇮🇹 When I tell you, the downhill I was promised was not a downhill. It felt like a constant incline most of the race. I ran on sand, I ran on cobbles, I ran on gravel. The heat was something else… BUT THE SCENES. It was incredible views from start to finish. ☀️ I had to dig so deep to not stop and walk the last 2km at points cause it was HARD. But, I held strong and I’m so so proud of my result out there. Highly recommend if you are looking for a challenge 😍🥇🔥 #uarunning #lakegarda #halfmarathon #ironman703 #firstironman #firsttriathlon #triathlontrainning #running #runningmotivation #runningcommunity #neverstop
Ready or not - here we come! 🇮🇹 At this point the goal is to enjoy the views and not completely melt. Today was hot for this lil Scot. I was not expecting the heat intensity at all. Plan - start strong and try to get to my Aperol hour before the sun gets spicy. It’s to be 23* by 11am and 23* here is not a UK 23 😅 All we can do is show up, have fun, and trust the pre game fuelling will do its job! #lakegarda #lakegarda21 #running #runningmotivation #runningcommunity @lakegarda42 #hyrox #ironman703 #firstironman #firsttriathlon #halfmarathon #halfmarathontraining
3 weeks until Ironman Australia and it was another ride for the record books. Pleased with how this one went, feeling good on the bike at the moment 😊 #ridelife #garmin #beatyesterday #ironmanaustralia #ironmantraining #firstironman
Open water swimming is one of the most polarizing topics in triathlon. ☀️ 🏊🏻♀️ You either love it, or you hate it. A lot of it has to do with the fact that most people are adult onset swimmers. I know I am. ☝🏻 First, if you suffer from open water swim anxiety, know that you’re not alone. I did an interview with Lauren Brandon, one of the best swimmers in today’s pro triathlon field, and even she doesn’t like open water swimming! Yet, she still does it, and she excels at it. That’s the secret, I suppose. You don’t have to like it, but you have to learn how not to let that anxiety control you. Comment OWS ⬇️ and I’ll send you my latest blog post- 5 Causes of Open Water Swim Anxiety and How to Conquer Them. #openwaterswimming #triathlontraining #triathlete #ironmantraining #firsttriathlon #firstironman #beginnertriathlete #triathletes #triathlonblog
I’m not gonna lie, life’s felt a little wild lately, a little uncertain with a dose of unstable… I know that’s life’s all about change but I’m not the biggest fan of change, I don’t really enjoy not knowing. But here we are, doing my best to put one foot in front of the other and keep my eye on the prize with IRONMAN just two short weeks away. I’ve finally started to taper after 10 months of training, switching coaches 3 times, accumulating an ITB injury in the last two weeks and of course finding a dietician that’s helped me fuel my body correctly. All the lessons are learned, the hard work is settled into my body and the goal is almost within sight 👀 To be honest, I’m not sure what’s going to happen after IRONMAN, what my next race/goal will be, if I’ll keep doing what I do. I feel like I crave stability, security. I’m not sure what I am currently doing offers me that… So many questions, so much to obsess about and yet, first I need to accomplish the biggest thing I’ve ever dreamed of doing. First IRONMAN, sort my life out after. I’m here for this journey, the ups and downs, let’s go! Anyone else feeling a little nervous when their goal race is just around the corner? Questioning all your choices and wondering if maybe it’s time for another change? 📸 @annahb247 #ironman #firstironman #lifechoices #fallingapart #uncertainty #unsettled #wonder #cycling #swimming #running #triathlete

Lots of new friends here, so I thought I’d introduce myself. 👋 My name is Brittany and I’ve been a triathlete for 6 years. (WOW, that’s crazy! Seems like just yesterday I did my first super sprint…) Since 2019, I’ve done six 70.3 races, 1 Ironman, and a lot of sprints and Olympics. Some of favorites include: 🚂 Chattanooga 70.3 (3X), ⛵️ 70.3 North Carolina, and 🌴 Ironman Florida. For my day job, I’m a writer and photographer. ✍🏻 I’ve worked with a lot of publications and brands you probably know- Ironman, Triathlete Magazine, Outside Run, Xterra, ect. I do course previews for Ironman (30 and counting) so you’ve probably read my work even if you didn’t know it! I started the blog- Triple Threat Life- for ☝🏻 simple reason: to inspire, educate, and empower everyday triathletes by sharing the knowledge I’ve learned from my own experiences, and from so many others much wiser than myself. This isn’t just an online diary where I share race recaps (although I will do that occasionally 😉) Instead, I want to provide practical tips, advice, and strategies that I use every day in my own training, racing, and life. I’m not a pro. I’m not a coach. I’m an age grouper, just like you. If all that sounds good, tap follow ☝🏻and then tell me something about yourself! I’d love to know how you got started in triathlon, or what race you’re training for. #triathletes #triathlonlife #triathlete #femaletriathlete #swimbikerunrepeat #firsttriathlon #firstironman #ironmantraining #agegrouper #trilife

Sharing Awkward Ironman Moments ✨😅 So hopefully you learn from my mistakes. To some this looks like a normal race pic, but only I know better: “I lost my own, so borrowed @tvhooren ‘s airpods during my Ironman 70.3. Apparently, you are not allowed to listen to music (could and should have known🤔). I learning this fact because an angry old man stepped on my heels, then telling me this. Ok, so I had to keep these airpods somewhere safe for 21 kilometers more 🥹The panic of losing one of Thomas’ airpods was real. Each step, and each time I took a @maurten_official gel, I was afraid of losing one, or both. So the dozens of pictures of me with my hands behind my back: Checking to see if there are still two airpods in one of the many tiny backpockets 🎧🎧 and stressfully relocating them to a different pocket, where they were supposedly safer. 🫠 ⚠️Learning: don’t bring your earphones to your next Ironman raise. They’ll only be at risk. #firstironman #awkwardmoment #triathlonlearning
人生第一隻馬，一隻大鐵馬。 唔喜歡嘅跑步 極憎恨嘅長途 就係想提升自己面對逆境嘅心理質素 有人陪伴同支持絕對係非常重要 但係絕大部分時間其實都係靠自己撐住 習慣面對困難時保持微笑 因為所有野都會慢慢過去 #firstmarathon #firstironman @ironmantri @ironmannz @elitemaster_swimming_team #taupo

So happy for Karmen 🤩 She raced a half marathon in Cyprus at the weekend. We looked at her times from 2023, and saw that her PB was 2h 12m Her goal going in was around 2h25m as the other events that she did last year were around the 2h20-25 mark. Karmen switched coaches at the end of last year, as she felt she was doing things wrong with recovery, and volume. We reduced training volume and have added in more recovery. Karmen has a busy work schedule with a fair amount of travelling, and she is also in her mid 50's She finished in 2h13m 🎉 If you're looking to get more from your coach then comment "CHAT" below to book a call 💜 #swimbikerun #cycling #trainsmart #ironmanracing #trilife #trilifestyle #womenscycling #womenarenotsmallmen #outdoorwomen #3athlonlife #womenwhorun #trailrunning #menopoauseathlete #positiveaging #empowerwomen #womeninsport #ironwoman #ironwomen #triathlon #triathlontraining #yinyoga #bike #run #fitover50 #cycleuk #outdoorsisfree #firstironman #ironmantraining #womenintri #perimenopause

As I stand in front this graffiti in Khan Market, can’t help but think of my first Ironman in Kalmar in 2018. This graffiti is dedicated to 75 years of Sweden India friendship. For any amateur endurance athlete/triathlete, their first marathon/Ironman is always special and I am no different. I found the sport I love in Sweden. Will probably go back to Sweden and relive some of those memories. Where was your first marathon/Ironman ? #firstironman #firstironman703 #ironmantri #triathlon #triathlete #triathletes #triathlon_in_the_world #triathlon_world #triathleteslife #marathontraining #marathon #runningmotivation #runningcommunity #running #endurance #endurancetraining #enduranceathlete #newdelhiroadrunners #lotusherbalsindia
Do you put things off waiting for a better time to start? 🙋♀️ guilty! I first realised the power of ‘now’ when we decided to have our first baby. ‘We’re not ready yet, money, house, sports, career’ etc etc but then we were never going to have those things all ticked off as our goal posts ebb and flow as we achieve our goals and move to the next thing. So we just went for it. It was the best decision of our lives. It’s important to remember this when you’ve got your own goal. Whether that’s to start a couch to 5km, your first triathlon or to take on that Ironman. It doesn’t matter that you aren’t ready yet. So what if you’re unfit - that’s the point! Take the first step and start making positive forward movement to achieving that goal. Make today count - make progress not procrastination. You’ll be amazed at how much you achieve when you STOP WAITING FOR THE RIGHT TIME.

ONE MONTH IN‼️ A month of running, bike and swim strength So lost some body fat, legs a bit thicker. Where’s my arms gone🙈 Think my Ironman training needs more bicep work. #dontskiparmday #ironman #firstironman #endurance #triathlon
IT’S OFFICIAL !! My first big race back postpartum and since my 2018 injury at Ultra Spartan World Championships will be the Italy Ironman! So excited for this training cycle and getting back into my old grove 🤠🤩
Recapping 2023 because you only race your first Ironman (and your first Kona) once ✨ The prep for my first IM consumed 9 months of my life. I was always training, sleeping or eating. I was too tired for social events and was only half present at those I attended. After biking 112 miles in training, I got back to the car and started crying. I was so freaking proud of myself. The distance was no longer abstract. It still seemed overwhelmingly long but doable. The hard work paid off at IM Lake Placid. But after having nearly perfect race and earning a slot to Kona, I started slowly panicking. There wasn’t enough time for me to fully recover and build my fitness back up. I didn’t like I had to arrive to the most competitive event in ‘okay’ shape. Injuring my achilles only added to it. It sucks to take time off from training when the clock is ticking and you’re about to face the infamous Kona marathon. Kona was big. It was a celebration of the sport and women. I became increasingly grateful for getting to be a part of it. My teammates and I had incredible support group with us in HI. I tried to forget all my doubts and just enjoy the experience. The swim was beautiful, I smashed the bike course, and my achilles felt good on the run. Once on the Queen K, everything became hard. It was hot. I was aware of my lacking run fitness. My legs cramped. I kept reminding myself of all the people who cheered for me or stayed up late to follow the tracker. I crossed the finish line as 73rd athlete in my age group at the IM World Championship. After Kona, I did nothing for a long time. I needed mental and physical break. Looking back, I’m still in shock my body achieved something like that. 73rd place didn’t seem like much at the time but now I’m super proud of it and all the work I put in to cross the finish lines in 2023. I won’t be racing an Ironman in 2024 but you’ll see me out there racing some halfs! The plan is to get faster at the 70.3 distance and find a balance between training and life. And most importantly, to get married! 🤍
Road to Roth - can’t believe it’s already just 24 weeks away. I went a bit off plan this weekend. Instead of a long ride/run in zone 1-2 I took part in the 3-day Tour de Boudicca ladies only series which was brilliantly organised by @the_warrior_games and the extremely patient and hardworking Karla with an amazing buzz created around the event thanks to @zmsesportsstudio @zms_streamers. I was taking part as I was organising a team for @galaxycyclingclub . Last year I blew up on the last day so this year I took the advice of @swallowstriathlon and didn’t look at my numbers so much and rode much more to how i was feeling. Friday was 3 crazy-fast mini races and I got Ok results but after combining times I was in 3rd in the individual GC. Saturday was the vomit inducing 10 lap crit with team points for one climb/one sprint per lap. I had drafted a plan for the team and was pegged for doing climbs and getting the best finish position I could. The race was awful. Every prime was like a punch in the face. I watched the live feed back after and the commentators were speculating on what the sensible final move would be and what would be reckless. Well guess which move I took!! I knew if it came to a bunch finish I’d lose out so I broke away maybe too early as I still had half a lap to go and yes that hurt a lot but somehow I stayed away. Got the win points for the team and moved into 1st for the individual GC. Sunday was the Queen’s stage and I got to wear the Bee jersey. If I made it to the final climb in the front group I knew I had a good chance. I tried to be patient and pace it. At first I held back but on the second bit of the climb I went up a gear and then emptied the tanks on the last steepest bit, closed my eyes and just focused on my legs until it was over. I finished 5th and I’d done enough to win the individual GC. Can’t believe it! I hadn’t set out to compete just to use this as part of my training but chuffed that the training is paying off already. Lucky for me this weeks training is active recovery and I promise to stick to the plan from now on (mostly 😉) #herspirit #womensupportingwomen #roadtoroth2024 #triathlete #triathlonover50 #firstironman
🗓 Performance Coaching - Year In Review👨🏽💻 @mini_braid 𝐁𝐢𝐨: • 32 y/o • Chemical Engineer • Marathon runner 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐠𝐨𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐣𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐠’𝐬 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐝? Initially I joined back in 2021, training for the Berlin Marathon, with the aim to set a Marathon PB. This was successfully achieved and got the ball rolling for bigger and better things to come! 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞? In 2021 I achieved the Marathon PB I was hoping for when I first signed up. In 2022 I was looking for a new type of challenge, so training shifted from running focus to Triathlon. That year I then completed my first Sprint, Olympic and 2x Half Ironman Triathlons. In 2023, I then aimed to move up to the full distance, and in August I completed Ironman Copenhagen, in under 12 hours! This is something I am really proud of in what has probably been the busiest and most stressful year of my life - starting a new job, selling my flat, moving cities, buying a new house, renovating and attending 5 weddings! 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐆𝐨𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒? Going forward, my main goals are to keep training Triathlon focussed and complete a few more Half Ironman events… and maybe even another Ironman (despite post event saying ‘never again!). 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐠𝐨𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐂𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐠? Setting short, medium and long terms goals since 2021 has enabled me to get to the long term goal of completing an Ironman in 2023. Approaching this in a stepwise fashion and incrementally increasing the distances ensured I built up adequate fitness along the way, and remained injury free… as well as actually enjoying the journey! 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐛𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝟏𝟐 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐬 𝐚𝐠𝐨 / 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡? Give it a shot - you will be amazed at what ‘trusting the process’ can do for your overall fitness levels and wellbeing. #OnlineEnduranceCoach #FirstIronman #sub12

First triathlon in 3 years done! And first race in my new @atohi.co @i4coaching race kit 😍 Was super fun being out there again, and reminded me why I love this sport.

2023 in 12 Bildern. Mein erstes komplettes Triathlonjahr 🏊🏼♀️🚴🏼♀️🏃🏼♀️ ich bin unfassbar dankbar für dieses Jahr, es gab viele Höhen, ein paar Tiefen und leider eine Verletzung, die ich mit ins neue Jahr nehmen muss. Aber rückblickend war es definitiv mein krassestes Sportjahr ever! Noch nie habe ich so viel trainiert und diese Passion für diesen Sport fühlt sich so gut an, ich hab richtig Bock auf 2024!! Mein Highlight wird ganz sicher wieder der Ironman in Hamburg werden, neue PB ist das große Ziel!

🏊♂️🚴♂️🏃♂️ Flashback to the epic journey at Ironman Vitoria 2023 a few months ago! 🌟 From conquering two Ironman 70.3s to embracing the challenge of my first full-distance Ironman, every stroke, pedal, and stride was a testament to six months of dedicated training. The Basque Country’s beauty served as the breathtaking backdrop, fueling my determination to push beyond limits. The cheers of the crowd, the picturesque landscapes, and the camaraderie of fellow athletes made every moment unforgettable. This race wasn’t just about crossing the finish line; it was a celebration of strength, resilience, and the unwavering support of an incredible community. Swipe through these memories—a visual journey of the Ironman Vitoria experience. Each image encapsulates the spirit of the race, and I’m excited to share this adventure with you! 🌈💪 #IronmanVitoria2023 #EnduranceJourney #TriathlonAdventure #BasqueCountryBeauty #FirstIronman #BeyondTheFinishLane #TriathlonDream #Ironman @ironmantrispain
Sono già trascorsi 6 mesi dal primo Ironman 🏊♂️ 🚴♂️ 🏃♂️ il tempo vola e io non voglio sprecarlo ⏳ Mi attendono nuovi obiettivi nel 2024 e non vedo l’ora di mettermi alla prova. @ironmanitaly @ironman_nice2019 #firstironman #ironman #ironmannice #ilovenice #nice #hybridathlete #steelman #sport #endurance #thriathlon #challenger #challenger #nolimits #mindsetiseverything #gogetter #hardworkpaysoffs
First Full Ironman for Charles ⚡️ Charles approached No Limits 3 months before his first IM wanting to finish it. He enjoyed the nature and has done 2 70.3 in 2019 and 2023. His determination is admirable with his busy work life travel frequently in Asia and Europe. Charles finished his first IM in 11:52:47, placing 38/109 in Ironman Busselton - faster than his 70.3 split time! Congratulations Charles to your achievement! #ironman #ironmanbusselton #triathlon #firstironman #australia #westernaustralia #swimbikerun #keepgoing #nolimits
Since I bought this book from @collectorsupreme_ with a lucky coin flip at C2E2 this year, this book has spent more time at CGC and getting cleaned than it has been with me. Good to have it back!

. 🌟 Celebrating a First Ironman Triumph! 🏅 🌟 Join us in cheering for @chad.macri, who conquered his FIRST Ironman with our Sports Nutrition Coaching by his side! 🏊♂️🚴♀️🏃♂️ Chad shares his incredible milestone; “Working with Paul at PM Nutrition Coaching was an easy decision for me. After seeing the results from other level up athletes that have used Paul it made sense to sign up going into my first ironman build”. “After starting I instantly noticed the benifits of eating the right meals, specifically planned for each session. I had good energy throughout the sessions, but also better recovery which allowed me to put together a great prep, day by day”. “By Paul having access to my training plan through training peaks he planned out weeks in advance, but also responded and adjusted quickly if the programme was to change at any stage”. “He was always on stand by for any questions I had along the way or the best options when I couldn’t meet the plan 100 percent”. “Another massive benefit which I think made a massive difference come the event, was we specifically trained race day nutrition (e.g. carbs per hour etc). This allowed me to complete my first IM with not a single gut issue”. “I personally feel Paul goes above and beyond and couldn’t recommend him highly enough”.

Send us a DM today and let's kick-start your journey to success! 🚀 #IronmanTriumph #FirstIronman #SportsNutrition #NutritionCoaching #EnduranceFeats #IronmanJourney #FuelYourDreams #triathletelife
First IM 70.3 with 4:46:54. AG 30-34, got 30th place (111); 166th overall male (897) and 197th overall (1089). Happy - smooth first experience! Fired up to do more🏅🔥 Going into the race I was relaxed and calm. In terms of effort I gave - 8/10. Swim. I didn’t do the recce 🫣 so I was sighting often to make sure I knew where I was going (every 2nd stroke). However, speed and power were there. Managed to hold the expected 1:40-1:45 pace and complete in 32 miutes. According to plan ✅ T1. Took me 4 mins. I treat transitions in a relaxed manner. I was so excited by the ok swim, I’ve ran past my bike 😅 probably cost me 10-15 seconds!) Bike. Started off strong and quite enjoyed overtaking people 🚀. I wasn’t sure about the wind direction though - it always felt like headwind or crosswind. So I just pushed a bit harder, but felt good. For the first 30km, I was averaging 40 km/h and 190W - beyond my normal! After 30km though, I was getting tired 🙈 I had quite a few TTs overtake me 🥲. The rest of the race was about keeping steady, eating, making sure I don’t overloa. Average dropped to just over 180W and 37 km/h - still an impressive result for me. For the last 10km pushed a bit more, since I had it in me. Had 120g of carbs on the bike. Awesome ride 🎉 T2. I was so glad that I had an extra pair of socks with my running gear - I stepped into a puddle 💦 in transition. Changed socks and off I go 🏃. Run. Targeted just below 5 min/km. Felt ok and managed to keep to 4:40 for the entire race with only 60g of carbs for the run. My heart rate was always below 160 - I could give more, but decided against it: 1) Since was my first race, I didn’t know how I would feel in my >15km - I didn’t want to blow up ☠️ 2) My legs were tired and I didn’t want to oversuffer, but enjoy my first race 🤤 3) Wanted to save something for @ironman.oman 🤣 PB pls 🥹 Thank you 🙇 @im703middleeast @ironmantri for such a smooth experience, @niall_mccarthy11 @slainte_endurance for guiding my training, loved ones for the support 🥰 #ironman #ironman703 #triathlon #triathlete #thriathlontraining #canyonbikes #precisionfuelandhydration #magic5 #bahrain #firstironman703 #firstironman
Lots of runners and triathletes I’ve worked with have “some” semblance of a race day plan but it’s not optimized and not practiced to the extent it should be. In order to get your gut used to what you’re planning on doing for race day, it’s optimal to start this process up to a year in advance of a target race, especially for ultra endurance events. I’m a huge advocate for long course triathletes and ultra runners to get sweat testing done and figure out what mix of food and sports nutrition products makes sense for their race fueling plan. If you have big race goals for next year, why not spend a little time optimizing your race fueling strategy vs just being ok with a general plan that “might” work out?
In the last 7 days… 🥰🥹👀 1. I launched the 12 weeks till race coaching group 2. Had a wonderful meal and catch up with @louisqfit and @the_communicationexpert at Fern 3. Coached 3 epic pairs and a few of my clients through @thirdspacelondon @hyroxuk pairs event! 4. Did my first 2:30hr Brick Session 😅 5. Puppy cuddles and a roast with the gals 🥰 6. Launched the first classes at TS Wimbledon 7. Celebrated my baby turning 31! @emmakirkyo 8. Got taken out by a cold 🥶 9. Hit 5000 members in my Facebook Group 10. Had 15 Epic Client Calls 11. Taught 17 epic classes 12. Passed Yard Strong Takeover 13. Had 70000 meltdowns. And somehow managed to run 2 business, sleep a sufficient amount and keep on top of my training. Food has went out the window - but we are not perfect. Living on @optimumnutrition_uk shakes and @naturalfitnessfood meals right now. This isn’t a post to boast, it’s a post to say hey - a lot of us are busy and life can be HARD but we get out what we put in. I couldn’t be more grateful of how much I am growing right now. I am thankful for my team, my friends and my family. It’s been 5 weeks at this intensity and it’s not slowing down yet - but I wouldn’t have it any other way if I’m honest. #firstironman #ironman #hyrox #thirdspace #life #patience #positive

Winter is coming and its getting darker! Check out these tips for staying motivated as the days start feeling shorter ⬇️ 1️⃣ Change the way that you think about training. It’s not something you HAVE to do, it’s something you GET to do! 2️⃣ Go to bed earlier, and get up earlier. Put your alarm clock across the room to avoid easy access to that snooze button. 3️⃣ Do more prep work. Make your meals in advance and set out your clothes the night before your early training sessions. Let this winter be different. Gain an edge on your big goals!!! What other tips and tricks do you use to stay motivated during the dark and cold winter months??? #ironmanunlimited #ironman #ironmantraining #firstironman #firstironman703 #ironmanswim #ironmanbike #ironmanrun #ironmantri #triathlon #triathlontraining #triathlonlife #triathlonmotivation

🤙🏾Proud of this race despite dried poop on the roads getting wet and splashing to my face! 😂 Im most proud of grabbing water like a boss. First time while rolling. 🤪 Another first, riding on a rain-shower. It was little scary if not for those two guys that slid right in front of me on the tight corner of that awkward bridge.🫡 Overall Thankful for another added experience. 🤙🏾RIP ALVIN💐 #endurancegoals #trimom #triathletemom #athletemom #firstironman #keeppracticing #keepgrowing #keepgoing #nevercompareyourself #weallgotcrowns

Big congratulations to Jason Pabst on completing his inaugural IRONMAN race at Cozumel this past weekend! Despite the swim being canceled due to choppy conditions, Jason tackled one of the fastest full-distance courses with determination and strength. The race, transformed into a duathlon, started with a time-trial bike segment, adding a unique challenge to this already demanding event. Jason's performance in the hot and tough conditions of Cozumel is a testament to his hard work and perseverance. We're immensely proud of Jason becoming an IRONMAN, showcasing his athleticism and spirit in a race known for its challenges and beauty. Your debut is just the beginning of an incredible journey in the world of endurance sports. Here's to many more milestones, Jason! 🎉 #IRONMAN #Triathlon #Cozumel #EnduranceSports #FirstIRONMAN #ProudTeam #TripleVictor #3VRacing @IRONMANtri
Celebrating a huge milestone with Jason Pabst as he conquered his first-ever @IRONMANtri in Cozumel! With the swim canceled due to rough conditions, Jason's adaptability shone as he tackled the time trial duathlon format. The day was intense – standing in the heat, waiting for the go-ahead, then powering through a scorching bike ride around Cozumel. Watching Jason's progress, and hearing updates from his girlfriend Marina @rodrimar8_, was nothing short of thrilling. From a beginner triathlete to an IRONMAN and IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship finisher in just months, Jason's journey is a testament to what dedication can achieve. I'm eager to see where his endurance sports path leads next! Here's to continued growth and success, Jason. Your determination is truly inspiring. #IRONMAN #Triathlon #Cozumel #EnduranceSports #FirstIRONMAN #IMCozumel #TriathlonTraining #SwimBikeRun #IronmanTri #TriathlonLife #Triathlete #Cycling #TriathlonMotivation #IronmanLife #PainInParadise

Registering for races under the influence.. ..of peer pressure 👯🏼♂️, not rosé 🥂 After being back from NYC for just a few days, my badass triathlete neighbours told me they were coming over & to "get your credit card ready". Fiiiiine, I knew what was coming bc I've been taunting them with this #bucketlist idea for months 😆 But they came with some post-marathon gifts & with a definitive answer- YES❣️ 🎉So we locked it in (oooooh the 💲🤑🙈) & made it official- we are racing the Mont Tremblant 70.3 Ironman this coming June! 🎉 In the meantime, I'll be enjoying dabbling in the 3 disciplines 🏊♀️🚴♀️🏃🏼♀️ with minimal structure until training up starts in the new year. #mondaymotivation #ironman #IM #firstironman #myfirstironman #triathlon #triahlonlife #KcrewGirlsTri #StepOutsideYourComfortZone

🤙🏾🤙🏾Driving on a 9+hour road trip with my kids to a race is a daunting task, but we made it safe including all the many stops along the way. 🫣 My oldest son and sister flew in to accompany us later in the weekend. I have to admit that I felt overwhelmed when I couldn’t check any of the race courses or take those shake out runs with my Tri-fam. Anxious thoughts raced through my mind as I nervously ticked items off my checklist and it was a lot. My mom brain reminded me to prioritize my kids’ comfort over attending the athlete briefing. Realizing that my youngest was getting bored, I decided it was time to leave. Despite the chaos, I reassured myself that everything was fine. 🤙🏾I think it only hit me when I saw the red carpet and bright lights. Sprinted to finish.🥹 🤙🏾Despite bad 🌧️weather, puddles, mud and too many bathrooms breaks!🤷🏽♀️ I want to show my boys that no matter what life circumstances and detours we get. We get to choose how to cross that finish line. I’am Ironmom. #imca2023 #ripbro Alvin🤙🏾forever. #firstironman #ironmansacramento2023 #firstfullironman #mytriathlonjourney #momsintriathlon #momwhotris #triathletemomlife #marriedsinglemom #militarywifelife
The other parent at our house tells me always that I need new clothes, specifically without a red logo! Me I don’t agree, here is my first ever @ironmantri @imsouthafrica finishers shirt from 2014! If fits perfectly 👌🏾 Who else still has one of these? Lots of questions about the future of the event in @nelsonmandelabay with 2014 being the 20th, let’s see where things go. #finishershirts #firstIronman #10thedition
