Miami 70.3

What a great day to end my triathlon season...18 races for the year from a sprint to an ironman...and I ended on a PR of 5:02 and a podium place at 70.3 Miami!!! So amazing to share it all with incredible teammates and friends, I'm very blessed. Despite swimming through seaweed masses, losing my bike computer, narrowly avoiding a bike crash, getting severely sunburnt and chafed, and feeling super slow on the run...I persevered and proved Impossible really is nothing. Thank you for all the love and support, without it this whole season would have been much more challenging

Hmm so about going to China to rep Team USA?? Hecks yes!! So happy to say my run is back!! Finished the half ironman 15th overall female after coming 48th out of the water and podiumed with a 3rd place AG...lost it solely because of my slow swim, but I already recognize that weakness. Never got passed on the bike even with using my old girl and no wheel set, and ran a 1:41 half marathon on hills all the while never looking at my watch. 5:16 for the day...now devouring Texas Roadhouse before a 7 hour drive. Could not be happier and am so proud of Frank and Andrew for destroying their races. Wolf pups dominated today . Best part? Being called crazy by fellow crazy triathletes...it is my new badge of honor. China, here I come!! Thanks for all the love and support as always.

Reflection

It is hard to believe I started fully training for triathlons exactly one year ago and changed my life for the better in every aspect. The past year was full of many amazing and several not-so-great experiences, but every one changed me in a positive manner. We can't control what happens but we can control how we react.  Coming up on the completion of my first year in the triathlon community, I can't be more grateful for finding such a wonderful outlet. It has taken me across the world, introduced me to incredible friends and teammates, enabled me to be in phenomenal shape, and kept me striving to improve upon myself in every aspect. The best part?? I am 24 and this is only the beginning!!
