#imtx2017

#TBT gotta love #Facebook memories. From last season... ........................ So many things come to mind when I think about this IRONMAN journey and even bigger, this LIFE journey. 1. You can't do epic shit with basic people. 2. Surround yourself with greatness. 3. Surround yourself with those who want to see you succeed. Michael Robinsonhas been my champion through his own training, injuries, work, travel, managing the house, managing me and managing our lives while I get to train, and most of all my champion through life. He has taken the time to be there on long training days, leave pearls of wisdom and notes of encouragement...like this card today. I'm strong on my own, but unstoppable with him.

I’ve more than doubled my #IMTX2017 training already. I’m not real sure how I finished that race #imtx #showupdostuff #baseperformance @kmfperformance @baseperformance @team_zoot

...anyone can write a plan, hand it off to an athlete and be on their way. But that’s not how it’s done at #powerhouse_racing Anyone can calculate paces and set training zones for athletes. That’s easy. There’s an app for that. But again, that’s not how it’s done at the Powerhouse. Johnny has definitely set himself and the Powerhouse apart from the rest. Johnny and Melanie, and all the coaches truly want to see our athletes progress through their training, reach their race goals and finish strong. From a super sprint to IRONMAN distances, it’s no different. Everyone is an athlete and everyone* crosses the finish line (Melanie will come find you!). JZ knew what I put into training and how excited I was to do IRONMAN Texas, and he knew how devastated I was not to be able to race. Yesterday at the pub he recognized this and “loaned” me his 2017 IRONMAN Texas finishers medal. He said it was just on loan to me until I finished my IRONMAN. I still don’t think I am doing a good job at putting into words what sets Powerhouse apart. But this. All of these gestures from all of these great athletes and coaches. Putting others first. Humility. I am humbled.

We are strongest when we lift each other up. So much love and respect for JZ! #powerhouse_racing FTW! #mytribe #imtx2017 #johnnyz (at Ironman Triathlon, The Woodlands)

One last one for my #Powerhouse_racing tribe about to tear shit up tomorrow... be stubborn about your goals. #imtx2017

Last #racerehearsal tomorrow before #raceday in just TWO WEEKS!! I can't believe that it's so close, I can taste it! I am not a nervous person but ibcan honestly say that right now... I am! Not so much for the distances themselves but the smaller minutiae that can make or break a race... do I have it all? Looking forward to taking #agirlhasnoname out for spin before we both rest up for the big day! I see you #imtx2017 #👀

#currentsituation ice socks, my bitches and Moana. Long training day. Good ride. Great company. Not enough energy for more words. #imtx2017
