The nice thing about having a swim instead of run on Sunday is getting to sleep in and read my book for a bit before getting up with the girls. The tough decision is to flip turn or touch and go on a long swim. #galveston703 #iracelikeagirl #primosmoothie #nuunlife #teamnuun2019 #swimbikerun #swimday #triathlete #tritraining #ironfit #ironmom #fitover40 #tri365 #humansoftriathlon #trithreatcoaching #hotmesstriclub

1 69yesterday

Due to the conditions (wet and foggy) outside early this morning. We decided that it wasn’t safe to ride after all outside. 3 hrs spinning was good. Stretching and core after. #yourpaceyourraceyourgoal #hotmesstriclub #ironmangalveston703 #ironmantexas2019

Aww, dad moment here. I’m super proud of Noah for wanting to come out swimming this evening. He’s between sports and wanted to join me for a short swim. He did very well. One of the best feelings swimming beside him as he was doing his laps. #fatherandson #yourpaceyourraceyourgoal #hotmesstriclub

Running through hump day like. There’s people that make running look easy and then there’s me. This was taken at mile 12 of the USA Fit half marathon. This is what a PR looks like. This is what updating that PR board looks like. I was hurting. And it took everything I had to keep the wheels from falling off. This is me 🤷🏼‍♂️. Meanwhile @buckeye917 who I ran with briefly was all smiles cruising to her first place finish. Kudos to all you natural runners out there. You give us hope! #usafitmarathon #running #racepics #altrarunning #hotmesstriclub

You and I may not be able to train daily together, you may be in another state, you may not even want to train / run with me thinking that I’ll leave you behind. Well the truth is, I will not leave you, I will walk when you walk. I may walk more than you know. You never know with me. If you’re running a race out of state and want me to track you. I will and hell, I’ll even run the distance too knowing your pace to keep in touch and keep pushing you.

Chevron Marathon 2019 - I could not have done it with the support from many friends. Thank you friends. Here are a few pictures from my day. #hotmesstriclub #houmarathon #yourpaceyourraceyourgoal

3 2412:08 AM Jan 22, 2019

I completed my 3rd marathon yesterday! I’m including some of the faces of the friends and teammates who make it easy to wake up at 4:15 for. I followed my 3x a week training plan. My knee felt great all season. My long training runs went pretty good. If I was picking my race day weather, it would have been exactly what yesterday was (ok maybe a little less windy). My race was a bit of a disappointment. 20 minutes slower than last year. Heart rate great. No pains. I think I nutritioned correctly. I just died and slowed and began grunting with every exhale right at mile 21. Did I mentally quit? Probably. Did I feel like I would never be a real runner ? Absolutely. Was I undertrained for the distance ? Maybe so. I had some good pep talks with some teamies afterwards over tacos. Age 37 is not too old to get better. I do need to get more miles on the feet. I need to do more races during my training season to feel the adrenaline and push the pace without breaks. I’m going to focus on shorter distances and speed gains for a bit. I’m going to wait til Waco to go back to Tri Training. I think I want to do Chevron Full next year to better myself. I think Hunter will call me crazy. I think I can make it down the stairs to eat my breakfast. Thanks family and friends for all of your cheering. You guys understand how much work it takes to be this average and I always appreciate it. 😜😂🙂 #hotmesstriclub #teamnuun #houmarathon #26point2 #swimbikerun

Here’s my #flatbougie pic (first ever use of that hashtag by the way 👍🏻). First pic has socks which those that know me know that is a rarity. Don’t get me on my soapbox about #nosocks running. I hate running in socks. And no I don’t get blisters or lose toenails. Ever. But I hate frostbite more so...🤷🏼‍♂️. The second pic is #homelessflatbougie. That will be my outfit until the gun goes off and I’ll shed that robe like a stripper. 🤔 Do strippers wear robes? #chevronhoustonmarathon #marathon #flatme #hotmesstriclub #imahotmess #altrarunning #robe #running

Tuesday and today were trainer days. Tuesday was a sweet spot ride 2 x 30mins at 85% FTP. Today 3x 3 sets of 120% FTP for 2mins. Which is more evil?

Anyone else make their smoothies like this? In the laundry room while covering their ears? So. Loud. Race week for #houmarathon and I’m trying to eat all the carbs. I started tracking what I eat a few weeks ago. I’m not eating near as much as I thought...especially carbs??? @jam05ison to the rescue. She knows all the dietary needs tricks.

Family and friends, Sunday will be my 7th full marathon. This was supposed to be a one and done thing 7 years ago. The other day, while running with a group, someone called me a triathlete. I remember when someone said that I was a runner now, I'm a triathlete. No, I’m just a guy that started to live a healthier lifestyle and try to eat well for multiple reasons. I’m just me. Thank you all for the comments, messages, and your support. Yes, I need motivation too. You can track me and other runners for Chevron Marathon this Sunday by downloading and installing the app. Search for my bib number. 6979.

Brutal @tridotsystem Fartlek run this morning but I managed to hold on and finish my sets. Thankfully the new @nordictrack treadmill has beautiful charts so when I lost count of what number interval I was on I checked the chart.

Just me, the crying coyotes, the croaking bullfrogs, and the sleeping ducks this morning. Only 4 runs left until Houston Marathon! I tried a different training plan this season. Hal Higdon 3. This plan allows you to only run 3x a week to help avoid injury and add in more cross training (aka triathlon ). Pro: The knee is feeling great this marathon season. Con: I think I am going to be around the exact same pace as I was last year...no fitness gains and I never stopped training. Harumph. Injury free at least! . . . #nuunlife #hotmesstriclub #houstonmarathon #triathlon #running #swimbikerun

Yearly totals for 2018. I have been doing this sport for 7 years now. It has introduced me to the most amazing, inspirational people from all over the world. This sport has transformed my body and my mind. It has given me much needed perspective on how to persevere when things get tough. This past year, I trained smarter. More focused. And much less than previous years. I decided that one swim a week was plenty. It gave me two extra mornings with my family. I cut back on long runs “just because” as well and had more intense, focused workouts. And the bike, well, I just really enjoyed riding Baby so...those miles kind of stayed the same. Actually, those decreased by about 500 miles as well. I tried to spend 2-3 rides a week on my trainer to keep me safe from crazy drivers. But I still found time for one long ride outside with my fellow Hot Messes on the weekend. 2018 grew me and stretched me. I am older, smarter, healthier and FASTER than ever before. Looking forward to 2019 and remaining focused on keeping a healthy life balance as priority and always having fun first! #ironman #triathlon #data #yearinnumbers #datajunkie #hotmesstriclub

So much running the last 3 days, 39.94 miles. Should have done one more lap. Could not have spent the last 2 days of 2018 and 1st day of 2019 surrounded by better people.

The nice thing about having a swim instead of run on Sunday is getting to sleep in and read my book for a bit before getting up with the girls. The tough decision is to flip turn or touch and go on a long swim. #galveston703 #iracelikeagirl #primosmoothie #nuunlife #teamnuun2019 #swimbikerun #swimday #triathlete #tritraining #ironfit #ironmom #fitover40 #tri365 #humansoftriathlon #trithreatcoaching #hotmesstriclub

That step up workout from @tridotsystem was no joke. Legs are shaking but we need to run. 😬 • • • #triathlon #tritraining #3athlon #fitness #fitdad #fitlife #fitfam #fitinspiration #trainharder #tridad #inspiration #ironmantri #ironmantraining #3athlonlife #triathlete #swimbikerun #swimming #cycling #running #roadtoironman #mindovermatterathlete #mmalpha #findfast #TriDot #iAMtridot #teamkreitz #tridotambassador #hotmesstriclub #hmtc

Where do I start....maybe at the beginning. Three years ago I decided to do my first triathlon (Oktoberfest Sprint Tri). Today I raced that same race. The first time it took me 3:32 (weighing 280ish lbs) and today I did it in 1:14 and took 3rd place in my age group! Something I didn’t think would happen for a long time. My favorite part off this entire process has been by far the journey itself. I truly believe that “anything is possible!” Special thanks to my incredible wife for all the love and support along the way and to the best Tri team out there Hot Mess Tri Club! Couldn’t have done this without y’all! #hotmesstriclub #imahotmess #thetriumphproject #embracethesuck #antiquit #neverstopever #itsaboutthejourney #oktoberfest #iTri

See anything different? 🤔🧐😍😘 Can’t wait to take this “Baby” out for a spin tomorrow and show off her new dancing shoe! If that disc were a shoe it would be a stiletto! #hotmesstriclub #cervelo #cervelop3 #flowheels

An epic and wet race! Nothing like getting to race in the rain! I took 4th in my AG (my best at this highly competitive field) and a PR! I get to update the old PR board tonight! For you data junkies see my IG Story. The data will be there. #triathlon #swimbikerun #tri365 #bayoutriathlonseries #townelaketriathlon #cervelo #flowheels #racebling #hotmesstriclub

Yearly totals for 2018. I have been doing this sport for 7 years now. It has introduced me to the most amazing, inspirational people from all over the world. This sport has transformed my body and my mind. It has given me much needed perspective on how to persevere when things get tough. This past year, I trained smarter. More focused. And much less than previous years. I decided that one swim a week was plenty. It gave me two extra mornings with my family. I cut back on long runs “just because” as well and had more intense, focused workouts. And the bike, well, I just really enjoyed riding Baby so...those miles kind of stayed the same. Actually, those decreased by about 500 miles as well. I tried to spend 2-3 rides a week on my trainer to keep me safe from crazy drivers. But I still found time for one long ride outside with my fellow Hot Messes on the weekend. 2018 grew me and stretched me. I am older, smarter, healthier and FASTER than ever before. Looking forward to 2019 and remaining focused on keeping a healthy life balance as priority and always having fun first! #ironman #triathlon #data #yearinnumbers #datajunkie #hotmesstriclub
