Just a quick post about my last 70.3 race in Atlantic City. I did not hit my goal of sub 4:30 BUT! I learned a ton, raced my ass off and broke my PR by like 8mins.
Swim felt longer then 1.2. I swam 35 but it felt like I was swimming a 30 min pace, everyone’s times were super slow for this race. Top 3 didn’t even break 30min. So happy with how I felt in the water.
I pushed transitions hard. And they are long at this race.
2:15 on the bike. Held 270watts for this race. And I’m mostly happy with that.
As for the run… I melted honestly. I lost a gel on the bike, and stopped eating them on the run after mile 5 or so. MISTAKE. Held around 6:40pace up till about that point then slowly and surely dipped off pace and just survived.
Took 6th in ag and 27 overall.
Next year I will be racing 4:30 or lower. I will also be hunting that podium. Thank you to @christine.cwpc who lets me live out this dream. I couldn’t do it without you. And to my father who I know was watching over. Sorry for the novel

photos from this past Saturdays Pocono triathlon festival. This was a very challenging course. 3,500 feet on the bike, and a run course that absolutely tested the legs for all 13.1 miles. I really wanted to test my fitness on this bike course (mission accomplished) 4th best bike on the day 1st in age. I gotta say thank you to @richardmelik @gozwift and @befittingbicycles for making sure I’m as comfy and fast as possible. I set a goal to win my age group at a smaller race and we did it. However I think I’m more proud of 5th overall. I was actually out there racing at the front. I could see the lead 3 guys the entire run. My goals are now set on podium (in my ag) at a much bigger show! @coachtilburs we got work to do 👊🏻 @professionaltriathletesorg one down 🏃. #triathlon #pto #ironlung #painface #mma Pocono Mountains

Amazing weekend at @clashendurance Watkins glen! Family road trip was a success! We got 2nd in age group, 7th overall age group and 19th including the amazing pro field. This race was intense! Super choppy swim, crazy hilly bike, awesome but insane run on the Watkins Glen speedway to finish. Happy with results especially since I just didn’t seem to have the bike legs I hoped for. Can’t wait for the next one. #clashendurance #clashwatkinsglen #ironlung #triathlon
PS! Hey @ufc and #venom let’s get a tri suit made for this former fighter!👊🏻

Just a little glimpse into one of my pain cave brick 🧱 sessions. Today was 1:40 on the bike with lots of race pace efforts, followed by 48min run off with 3x2k (min recover) 4x400m min jog between. Thank you too @christine.cwpc who is so pregnant 🤰 and still helped out with the camera! Paces if anyone cares…270-300watts for race effort, recovers around 190-225
Run about 8.3-8.6 for the 2k repeats
400s about 9.5-10mph.
Now time for pizza!
