#imboulder

Full blown IM Boulder training kicked off today. Bad weather forecasted for today so did my long run today and my 5hr brick tomorrow. Sure hope my legs bounce back and are ready for some hill work 😬 Life is about to get insane but can’t skimp on my recovery and making sure I get in enough nutrition for these longer training days.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #imboulder #triathlon #triathlete #vegan #veganism #veganfit #veganblog #veganlife #veganfitness #veganlifestyle #vegancommunity #veganaf #veganpoweredathlete #veganpower #plantpower #plantbased #plantstrong #vegansofig #runnerofig #vegansofinstagram #vegans #veganstrong #govegan #veganknowledge #fueledbyplants #runhappy (at San Antonio, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/myraschwartz.plantpowered/p/BwOGBN2jHbc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1cvse90potjgk

Oh boy, looks like I am headed to Konaaaaa! So grateful for my family, my coach @coachschopp , my friends from @baseperformance all over course and my mates cheering on the course and online and of course for the hundreds and hundreds of volunteers who came out in the fierce heat to support the race! #racewithINTENT #imboulder #imwc2018 #Kona #ironman (at IRONMAN Boulder)

When you know clearly what you want, you’ll wake up every morning excited about life. 💫⁣ ⁣ The altitude was tough to say the least. I think we both experienced a bit of it on the run. Somehow we both found our #strong to finish what we started.⁣ ⁣ More to come after the dust settles 😉⁣ ⁣ #MedalMonday #imboulder #ironcouple #plantstrong #schwartzstrong (at IRONMAN Boulder) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByjeaX4hJfo/?igshid=11gicazmv1eo6

Our Ethan deserves our acknowledgement and celebration before sharing anything else. ⁣ ⁣ He’s one pooped Sherpa. Woke up briefly this morning to play on his iPad then immediately fell back asleep. He just may sleep all day. He was a real trooper waking up super early to head out with us to the race start at 4am and being there till the very end when we both crossed the finish line. We saw a very grown up young man last night and a heart of gold helping us gather all our race bags and bikes.⁣ ⁣ Sitting in the VIP area allowed him to witness many athletes of all ages and fitness levels that crossed the finish. Just maybe it’ll inspire him one day to become an Ironman or do something extraordinary.⁣ ⁣ #teamschwartzstrong 💪🏻#IMBoulder #IMsherpa #ironmanlife #15yearsyoung #ourteenager #teamschwartz #schwartzstrong #inspireourkids (at Boulder, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/Byif6aZhtr1/?igshid=aj55gt5x3g2o

Saturday’s are made for outdoor fun. 🤣⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Bikes and gear bags dropped off. Feeling the heat today but tomorrow will be a totally different story with the high of 61.⁣ ⁣ Interestingly there are only 1,300 of us set to race tomorrow compared to our previous races with over 2k athletes. The oldest male and female athletes is 78 and 71 respectively. The youngest is only 18. Just amazing!!⁣ ⁣ Just a few last things to do and then lights out at about 7ish in preparation for 2:30 am wake up. 😳⁣ ⁣ ✌🏻thanks again for all the encouragement!⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #imboulder #ironcouple #destinationraces #doepicshit #trilifestyle #51willbeepic #tri365 #youcandoittoo #smalltowngirl #nevergiveup #plantstrongfoodie #loveyourselfday #fuelyourbody #texas #neverstoptrying #citygirl #badassisbeautiful #itstartswithwhy #whynotyou #resultsstarthere #lifetransformation #ifuelwithplants #heartforliving #nevergiveupattitude (at Boulder Reservoir) https://www.instagram.com/p/BydxQQDhWtE/?igshid=17v98pd3be4n

It’s been a busy but productive day. All checked in and packets picked up.⁣ ⁣ Started our morning with a breathtaking practice swim in the Boulder Reservoir where the swim will take place on Sunday. The water was a cool 62 😍 but the last 2 months of swimming at Boerne City Lake helped us feel right at home. The water was smooth as glass which I think helped me stay calm and have one of my best swims. 😀 If I can repeat this on Sunday it’ll def be a 2.4mile PB swim! 🤞🏻The view of the reservoir after our swim 😍⁣ ⁣ The bike course is fairly fast and not nearly as challenging as our last one in Mont Tremblant. We took our bikes out for a spin to make sure all their bits and piece were working as they should be. Boulder is amazingly beautiful with clear blue skies, more lakes and ponds then you can count, rolling fields and horse farms and the Flatiron Mountains raising up in the background. There was lots of huffing and puffing going on 🤣 in this short time ride.⁣ ⁣ There’s no greater feeling than doing something that makes you feel alive. It’s icing on the cake when you’re doing it in a beautiful place with the love of your life by your side.⁣ ⁣ Anything is Possible!!! ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #imboulder #3days till race day #51willbeepic #youcandoittoo #tri365 #smalltowngirl #nevergiveup #plantstrongfoodie #loveyourselfday #texas #fuelyourbody #citygirl #destinationraces #doepicshit #orbeagirls #neverstoptrying #badassisbeautiful #itstartswithwhy #whynotyou #resultsstarthere #lifetransformation #ifuelwithplants #heartforliving #womenwhotri #nevergiveupattitude #hardworkpaysoff #ironwill #tricouple #trainharder #resultsstarthere (at IRONMAN Boulder) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByZKKmoh_G5/?igshid=dkiz5mg4po7l
