Honey it's too hot for clothing today... but I suppose laws and stuff means I cannot walk around nude unless it's for art. Nevertheless, training for the Ironman 70.3 and Javelina Jundred 100K is going great thus far. I have a total of 14.5 miles of cycling in and loads of stair training. I did a bit of calisthenics in the park but haven't touched my run yet. If I miss it, I'm not too worried. Back to back long run on the schedule for the weekend will keep me honest. I'm excited about talking to my running coach... yes, I have one now! I hears she's a sweetheart but I know she's going to kick my ass and make me a better athlete. What's your weekend plans looking like?

Maybe the warmer water temps make it feel a bit gross, but I’m here putting in the work and hoping I feel better when this set is done. Just keep showing up and get it done! . . . posted on Instagram - https://newaveswim.com/2IDhOgE

I’m working on getting comfortable in a wetsuit while not being able to see that black line at the bottom of the pool. Luckily the only extra swimmers with me today were @kimchometsky and a big 🐢. . . . . posted on Instagram - https://newaveswim.com/2VXOqvl

Credit to @eric.solberg.triathlete : My first attempt at any “speed” work this year in the pool 🏊♂ this morning. If I could describe my day (and week) it’s been exhausting (so much at work has been a priority, including over the weekend, and I’m trying to find balance in the midst of deadlines). Interesting how my physical health issues made me take a break from training (not one that I wanted, for sure), only to fill that gap with major initiatives at work. I don’t share those work details here, but I promise that it’s a lot! Still working on that ultimate balance (I’ve had it before), and will keep trying. Hoping and praying for relief in all parts of life - I want to see so many of you like I did last year - on the race course! 🏊♂ 🚲 🏃 😉 . . . . . . . . . posted on Instagram - https://newaveswim.com/30D9p4X

Credit to @eric.solberg.triathlete : When the doctors say you need to let your body rest and heal before you race again, what do you do? for the sport that you love! Busy morning on the swim course of Ironman Texas @ironmantri North American Championship before heading in to the office, but had the joy of being out on the water for the swim 🏊♂ practice where athletes got to see about 600 meters of the swim course at tomorrow’s race. Wishing all athletes a fantastic race, and thanks to the MANY volunteers today and tomorrow! This sport does not exist without volunteers - please give back when you can. Was so great to see many friends this morning! And a big shout out @team_catapult for the fantastic grant award from @im_foundation announced this week! . . . . . . posted on Instagram - https://newaveswim.com/2vrfHX2

Credit to @brandy_swimbikerun : Love, love, love the new gear from @newwaveswimbuoy The goggles are soft and comfortable, and the cap isn’t too tight. I get headaches from swim caps, but this one has the right amount of give. And, great customer service with fast delivery. Highly recommend to anyone needing new gear! . . . posted on Instagram - https://newaveswim.com/2G15IxV
