P18 at Gulf Coast 70.3

A lot of positives to come away with and a lot of areas to improve on. Ejected a bottle twice before the 5 mile mark on the bike leading to wasting time going back to grab it and lost nutrition before I even got to the run. Despite that, I felt like I was racing until the last lap on the run.

After the swim being shortened by 60% is not my ideal scenario. Overall happy with the result after the last 4 weeks of inconsistent training, sleep, and recovery.

Ready to head out to Boulder to start training with and really go all in to be the best I can be!

P8 at St. Anthony’s this weekend

Not exactly how I thought the race would play out, but chasing all day made me think outside the box on tactics and race plan. Fitness is in a good spot and I’m excited to race again in 10 days at 70.3 Gulf Coast. Swipe to see my secret weapon on the swim

T-4 days until to try to defend my podium from last year!

I’m lucky to live the life I am! Ready to seize the opportunities coming my way! A very exciting next couple months is in store!

3 years down, many many to come!

Thank you for putting up with my silliness and annoying tendencies. I love you!❤️

The end to long distance is coming up soon!

‘s 70.3 Little Elm Bike Breakdown:

Time: 2:06:52
Speed: 26.58 mph
NP: 302w
Avg HR: 166 bpm
Avg Cadence: 95 rpm
Calories: 2260

Definitely a huge step in the right direction for me. The bike has been a big focus this offseason and it is starting to really show. Only giving up a couple minutes to the big names while riding by myself all day is a huge accomplishment and confidence boost! Now to just be able to run off it!

P30 at 70.3 Little Elm

Definitely not the perfect day with battling tough conditions and last minute changes to the swim length, but still good things to take away from the race!

Had the 14th fastest bike split (2:06) only giving up a few minutes to the guys in the hunt for a top 10. The bike power is starting to come through from training, now just need to learn to fuel it!

Ready to get ready to race at St. Anthony’s again in about a month! Thankful for the awesome homestay with the Bullard’s and .l.h

Valentines 2026

Ready to take on what the rest of the year has in store!

After a week of reflection on the 70.3 Pucón: here are some of my thoughts:

+positives
•competed to the line
•had a plan to execute
•turned negative thoughts into neutral thoughts

-negatives
•swim has some work to do
•nutrition plan needs revision
•execution of my plan was average

Still learning a lot on how to race this distance and am excited for the next couple months until the next race of the season!
