I began the day feeling anxious as I pushed through a cycling performance assessment. They are not my favorite activity π«. However, I was happy to see #gainz with a subsequent improvement in my training zonesβ¦π΄π½π¨ π₯³
Then, I had #fridayfunday doing a couple laps ππ½ and cooling down in the lake with my #trifamily.

Back to the regularly schedule program ππ½ π΄π½ ππΎ
This morning we were lucky to watch the sunrise while still being able to see the moon π.
Halfway into the session my shirt got too heavy with sweat β¦. because itβs South Texas baby ππΎ π₯΅, And as always, beginning the day with movement is awesome!

Totally filled with excitement, did a thing and swam open water around an island π at sunrise π. βTwas a most beautiful and glorious experience π.
I also spent quite a bit of time in my happy placeβ¦under the sea exploring shipwrecks, traversing coral tunnels while enjoying the peace of the open ocean and all her beautiful creatures π€Ώ.
β¦.soon Iβll be back to my regularly scheduled programming ππ½ π΄π½ ππΎ

I flew back into town and wrapped up the day with a fabulous ππ½ π΄π½ double header .
First, a zone 2 OWS with a focus on technique and sighting without breaking my rhythm. Then, I lucked up and worked some zone 2/4 intervals under the most magnificent sunset π€©.

Nothing like heat, sunshine and humidity to summon a determined spirit πͺπΎ. Todayβs sunrise was perfect. Running on the trail as it π
rose was a wonderful way to begin the day.
The humidity activated my super-sweat π mode and I ended up soaking my shoes to the point that I left footprints with each step (see last photo) π¦ π₯΅. Some say yuck π€’, or grossβ¦ I prefer to call it sexy juice π π.

Wow π€©, we had the perfect day to knock out zone 2-4 intervals. Lots of wind, sunshine and open roads π΄π½ ππΎ.
I felt unstoppable today. Youβve got to appreciate it when all the things come together (sleep, nutrition, mindset and the weather).
Today was a good day π.

Itβs always more fun (and motivating) to train with the #trifam.
When I walked into the gym this morning I could tell it was a #pearlandtriathlonracingclub takeover. Folks putting in work everywhereβ¦on the treadmill, doing weights and in the pool.

Another good double header today. 1 hr OWS with sighting and breathing as the focus - in what felt like a bath tub π.
Then, a quality open road -make my legs burn- interval session π
π΄π½ .
Itβs always great to see all the cycling groups putting in their work too πͺπΎ.

Hooray ππ₯³! Garmin moved me into the blue for the very first time. This is exciting and fills me with joy.
When I began my Tri-journey in 2019 I oscillated between red and yellow.
Iβm π―% certain that in due time Iβll begin coveting the purple π. For now, Iβm happy with where I am and how Iβm progressing.

The benefit of humidity? It keeps your skin really moist π¦ π€£. An absolutely fantastic zone 2/3 interval session this morning.
Iβm coming out of a hum-drum period and now feeling electric and excited again about getting out and putting in some quality work. ππ½ π΄π½ ππΎ

An energizing early morning of technique work in the pool. Then some time with Johnny at @third_coast_training to do stroke clean up and work in better sighting technique ππ½.

Thereβs no real relief from the humidity at this point in the summer, but rising with the sun sure does set the tone for the day.
After a morning session I feel like I can attack the day and be extra productive.

My #trifamily is always ready to get the work done. Today it was the San Antonio crew @lalicakes33 and her gang of badasses. We had a nice OWS (the lake is too warm to be βrefreshingβ).
I finished the evening with a short 𧱠run.

I felt so fucking alive during my run today π. 100+ heat index, full sun on my skin and a cold water bottle in my handβ¦muah-perfection ππΎ.
Turns out that I enjoy the feeling of a good struggle coupled with confidence that I can keep on grinding. I stayed hydrated and focused on feeling the beauty of the moment.
Until now Iβve been too embarrassed to post many video of myself running.
But, after watching @kristianblu crush the field with an unorthodox running form, Iβve become inspired. I donβt have to try to transform myself from a bulky clydesdale into a gazelle which is a relief because I donβt think there is a gazelle inside this body π.
I will become a better clydesdale! π΄ π
