Progress 🀩 ! 

For the first time, I was able to stand up and ride the waves πŸ„β€β™‚οΈ. In the past, I didn’t have the balance or hip stability to even stay on my knees 🀬. 

Consistently practicing πŸ§˜πŸΎβ€β™‚οΈ yoga has resulted in improved hip strength and stability. Of course the benefits go way beyond the surf board.  In addition to being able to πŸ„, I’m excited about improved biomechanics, better form and a reduced risk of injury πŸ‘πŸ½. 

Pics 9&10- my son is making me proud by making it look so easy! 

The progress happens little by little but can show up in unexpected ways. #keeppushing 🀘🏾

I love a new challenge.  Currently, the πŸ§˜πŸΎβ€β™‚οΈ crow pose has me tied into knots of frustration. I find it very difficult and holding it is outside of my grasp. 

Today I tasted success!! I was able to enter the pose and feel balanced for maybe 2-3 seconds before losing control again.  But that was enough for me.  A crack in the πŸšͺor a glimpse of light is all I need to see possibility.

Ha! I’m gonna get it πŸ‘ŠπŸΎ!

I do appreciate the days when all the gears mesh and each training sesh goes according to plan πŸ‘ŠπŸΎ. 

Started the day with some strong yet impossibly difficult (currently) poses. Failure is great because it provides new challenges. @athleterevivalyoga 

Then intervals in the pool that felt like I was riding on a magic carpet. The flow felt was perfect 🏊🏽 . 

I wrapped it up with some Z2-4 intervals on Zwift. Hitting the power numbers just right on each interval 🚴🏽. 

Tonight will be good sleep πŸ›Œ.

The excitement of watching the #ironmanworldchampionship powered me through 2 hrs of a zone 3 effort 🚴🏽 .  Well, the race and the fact that I misread the workout thinking it was zone 2. I assumed that coach adjusted my zones. 

Had I read the workout correctly I would have been filled with doubt about being able to hold the wattage for two hrs without struggling. Instead, I just pushed and watched the race without a second thought of my capabilities πŸ€·πŸΎβ€β™‚οΈ. 

This stuff really is a battle of the mind.  We are constantly removing artificial walls and ceilings as we open up avenues to move closer to our potential πŸ‘ŠπŸΎ.

My post-race recovery is going surprisingly well this time. I think that the consistent bendy-stretchy πŸ§˜πŸΎβ€β™‚οΈ practice has played a big role. 

Throughout #ironmantexas I noticed that I wasn’t experiencing very much physical discomfort (except for β€œaero-neck” on the bike and the bottom of my feet during the last 5k of the marathon). In addition to getting my hydration and nutrition right, I think the increased range of motion, overall awareness of my body position and improved breathing technique yielded better biomechanics throughout the event. Absolutely no knee, hip, or leg pains! 

Now that I’ve gotten a glimpse of the benefits of improved flexibility and balance, I plan to keep it as my norm because it sure does feel good feeling good 😊.

Of course simply getting to the starting line of an Ironman requires a village of support.  In my case it includes, family (who doesn’t agree to be in posts), friends, coaches, and my local and digital #trifamily πŸ‘πŸ½. 

This post is to acknowledge and express my deep sense of gratitude for all they’ve given and sacrificed to provide unwavering support throughout my journey. 

These are just a few of the photos I took while at #ironmantexas.  Being able to hug and smile with them was special and I wanted to make sure they all felt it ❀️. 

I hope to be able to give as much to anyone else who’s pushing themselves to new levels and can use a boost along the way.  I want to see you go beyond what you believe is possible.

15 hrs 23 min after entering the water, I heard my name and exhaled that sigh of joyous relief. You are an Ironman πŸ’ͺ🏾.

Todays group ride began like all of the others. We begin together, split into various distances and met up at the turn around point. Then, return to the cars and share refreshments when as everyone finishes. 

Unfortunately, the day didn’t turn out as planned.  My group experienced a domino like crash at 19 MPH. The front rider fell, and we all went down in succession πŸ₯΄. 

Lots of road rash and helmets that performed their jobs as expected. One rider has a fractured clavicle. Fortunately, we all walked away. 

Wear your helmets.

This is simply a post from a proud poppa πŸ˜€. 

Identifying and supporting things that ignite joy and passion in our children are some of life’s greatest gifts. 

So happy watching him do something that he loves.

Progress 🀩 ! 

For the first time, I was able to stand up and ride the waves πŸ„β€β™‚οΈ. In the past, I didn’t have the balance or hip stability to even stay on my knees 🀬. 

Consistently practicing πŸ§˜πŸΎβ€β™‚οΈ yoga has resulted in improved hip strength and stability. Of course the benefits go way beyond the surf board.  In addition to being able to πŸ„, I’m excited about improved biomechanics, better form and a reduced risk of injury πŸ‘πŸ½. 

Pics 9&10- my son is making me proud by making it look so easy! 

The progress happens little by little but can show up in unexpected ways. #keeppushing 🀘🏾

I love a new challenge.  Currently, the πŸ§˜πŸΎβ€β™‚οΈ crow pose has me tied into knots of frustration. I find it very difficult and holding it is outside of my grasp. 

Today I tasted success!! I was able to enter the pose and feel balanced for maybe 2-3 seconds before losing control again.  But that was enough for me.  A crack in the πŸšͺor a glimpse of light is all I need to see possibility.

Ha! I’m gonna get it πŸ‘ŠπŸΎ! 

#stayfocused - don’t ease up.

I had some early morning fun making videos of my #trifamily in the pool. We all love watching our bodies move in ways that are totally different than what we think it’s doing 🫣. 

Then I enjoyed a little trail time πŸƒπŸΎ . Taking things slowly while I nurse a nagging Achilles flare.
