Finish line Friday. #ironman703chattanooga #finishlinefeels @realtrisquad
@wolves_factory #ironman703chattanooga #swimbikerun Empezando la carrera empecé a sentir el dolor de la lesión del día anterior, en la primera parte había pendiente bastante larga, pare a estirar, camine un poco, empecé a manejar mi mente, a enfocarme en lo que si tengo, en agradecer, empecé a trotar muy lento, fui poco a poco agarrando un rimo con pasos cortos y controlados (como me aconsejó @dani_wfcoach ) el dolor me permitió correr, me fui a un paso lento pero constante, prácticamente sin parar a pesar de mas subidas, bajadas y el calor que hacia. Una carrera muy mental, disfrutando todo al máximo, incluso el dolor. Di todo lo que tenía y como se pudo, muy contento por el resultado a pesar de no ser mi mejor tiempo. Gracias por todos los consejos, tips, estrategia, consejos de alimentación, todo lo que haces por nosotros en este equipo mi buen Dani! @dani_wfcoach 👊🏻 🐺
@wolves_factory #ironman703chattanooga #swimbikerun Disfrutando el paisaje, el momento, sabía que la altimetría iba a ser complicada, reservándome para cuidar las piernas para la carrera, pero me sentía fuerte, tuve que manejar la mente para no dejarme ir demasiado. Disfruté demasiado esa bici en cada momento.
@wolves_factory #ironman703chattanooga #swimbikerun Saliendo del agua, tratando de estar presente, agradeciendo y disfrutando el momento.
Ironman 70.3 Chattanooga: Very happy to finish in 4:53 and 9th in my AG. Compared to last year my swim and bike has improved (both time and AG placing - 2nd fasted bike split in AG), while my run was 5 mins slower and 2 places lower within AG as I am recovering from an injury. I think the run is the best opportunity for continued improvement as I keep adding run consistency. @ku_cycle @thenaturalenergylab #kucycle #tf1 #fast #ironman703chattanooga #purplepatch #purplepatchfitness
A week ago…. 😍…. Mi tercer 70.3 y puedo decir que me encantó!! Fue una semana locaaaaa jajajaja no he podido disfrutar del post race 😂😂 por andar en otros chismes, pero es un evento súper recomendado (por mí y por muuuucha gente 🫢) Jajajaja La última foto es de las llaves Alen que me regaló la señora, y tal cual me las dio en esa bolsita así me las traje 🤣🤣. Jamás las sacaré de la bici a la que me suba, pueden volverme a salvar la vida y la compe también! 🫢 Ya quiero que se llegue el inicio del entreno para el full y volver a tener esos momentos de amor/odio a toooodo 😂😂. Soy la más aburrida en música, pero que quieren? Es mi artista favorita 😂😂 #ironman703chattanooga . . . #love #triathlon #triathlonmotivation #mexico #runninggirltravelalone #ironmantriathlon #ironmanchattanooga
I completed the Chattanooga 70.3 for the 2nd time this weekend and just want to share some of my experience. I have been so fortunate to have such a wonderful support team that I have to give credit where credit is due. My husband, @jeff.myers.vol supports me at all of my races. I have the best coach in @britfitptc Britfit Personal Training and Coaching LLC ! Another big part of this team effort is my PT, Erin @therunningpts & Eddie my massage therapist @bodyrestorationnc . The swim is a down river swim of 1.4 miles. The swim was great! The coolest part was the volunteer who helped me out of the water at the end said “I undid your Velcro & unzipped you” - Now that’s service!!!😂 This bike is such a fun course! Lots of rollers & one pretty steep climb, but also some nice descents and beautiful scenery. I got an all-time PR for the bike!🎉 The run…. I did better than I did two years ago, but not as good as I had hoped. In the final weeks of training I felt my run fitness was at an all-time high. Unfortunately, my last week of actual training I ended up with a mild calf strain. I missed my final long run & all of my taper runs & bike rides. 3 weeks of no running & biking caught up to me by the end of the bike & my legs were just too sore to do much on the run. I did force myself to keep running (although slowly) & only allowed myself to walk quickly through aid stations & I did walk up Battery Hill (which is super steep & occurs twice on the course) both times. Two years ago, I did a lot more walking & a fair bit of crying, so at least there were no tears this time and I did beat my time from two years ago! I ended up beating all my 2022 times at this course, so I’ll take it! At the end of the day, I’m just so grateful to be able to continue to do this thing that makes me so happy. The more I do it, the more I love it! For my next Ironman 70.3 I’ll be back at Ironman 70.3 NC in Wilmington for the 5th time. It’s such a beautiful venue and so close to home, it’s hard NOT to do it! 😂 #ironman703chattanooga #ironman703 #ironman #triathlon #triathlete
Weekend Recaps ~ May 12 & 19 These three ARETE women have been diligently training throughout the winter months for their races. Paula & Brandi traveled to Chattanooga, TN, this past weekend to compete in the Ironman 70.3. They raced a beautiful course featuring rolling hills and stunning mountain views. @brandirows @miss_p_anderson Jaala participated last weekend in the Fredericton Marathon. @jaalavandongen Their commitment to their training and their ability to overcome obstacles (Manitoba Winter and some health issues) exemplify the true spirit of ARETE. Congratulations to Paula, Brandi, and Jaala for your remarkable achievements. #areteendurance #ironman703chattanooga #frederictonmarathon
I am so exited to have just completed the Ironman 70.3 Chattanooga & happy to be back home! Thank you all for being understanding of shipping delays while we were away!

We stayed at the beautiful & dog friendly @westinchattanooga which had many beautiful outdoor patios for hanging out & we even got to enjoy some live music on the rooftop bar with the pups! Ruby & Emma joined me at the Ironman check in process while strolling around in their @stroleecarts & getting lots of pets & attention.

Ironman 70.3 Chattanooga!!!! This course was so pretty and everyone was so kind. During my last race, I did not enjoy the bike at all. I wanted to quit lol but this time I loved it. I really focused on biking while training and scenery helped a lot. I dropped almost an hour! Finished at 6:49!! Next race will be Augusta😎😎 - - - - - #ironman #ironmantraining #ironmanchattanooga703 #ironman703chattanooga #triathlon #fitness
Chattanooga 70.3 (70.5?)🫠 P26 on the day with some ups and downs. The takeaway: keep moving and maybe I’ll have feeling in my feet by the finish line. The swim (26:02) was a bit sub par for me. This was my second non wetsuit swim ever in a race and first ever downstream swim and looking back, I could have pushed a bit more early on to fight for better position. Came out of the water 21st, 2:15 back from the lead. Onto the bike (2:11:44), roads are rough first 5 miles then they are great. Found some packs of people to work in, went around, but nearly missed a turn and was caught by the group I had put a gap on. Rode away from them later in the ride. I dealt with a hamstring cramp at mile 38, drank some @bouldersalt and then was moving again. Came into T2 in 21st. Nutrition was on point with 300g/carbs consumed via @precisionfandh flow gel 300, 3000-3500mg sodium consumed, and 80-90oz total fluid. And lastly, the run (1:26:16). The positive: a 6 minute negative split between the first 10k and final 10k. The negative: painful lower legs and feet for about 5 miles and then numb feet till mile 9. I had to stop ~7 times to shake out the legs and attempt to alleviate the pain and eventually pushed through. Once the pain was gone, I flew and ran right at 1:20 pace for the second half. Legs were good and firing and I am walking away uninjured and encouraged that I am fit for Boulder 70.3. Started the run in 21st, fell back to 29th and clawed my way up to 26th by the finish. The highlight of the race was having @acsuttor out there cheering for me! It was also a blast racing along other @working.triathlete pros and running with @mitch_aott, @anthony_didion, and @connor_callahan. Also great to see @miguelmattox in 7th and finishing in the money 💰 Next stop: Boulder 70.3 on June 8th 🚵 📸: @jennahaufler @freestyletri #protriathlete #protriathletes #triathlon #everysecondcounts #ironmanproseries #ironman703chattanooga #ironman703 #triathlontraining #swimbikerun #swimbikerunworld #triathlonmotivation #longcoursetriathlon #protriathlon

Ironman 70.3 Chattanooga Race Recap Great lead in to the weekend getting to spend some time with @midlifetrisisclub & @coachmeg73 getting the race plan dialed in #burntheboats. . Swim: In the water much earlier than last year. Steady, felt good. Tried to stay as far right as they’d let me for current and straight line but course was pushed way left this year. Love the bridges as waypoints on this swim. 32:24 - 7+ min PR from last year. . Bike: 3rd time on this bike course and man do I really enjoy it. First though, lots of commentary about traffic, crowding, bike etiquette and I agree with everyone. 3500 folks is just too many for roads open to vehicles. That said, my goals were 1. Sub 3 hours, 2. Catch @coachmeg73 & 3. Hold out at long as possible before my teammate @pattyodeeeee passed me. Didn’t catch Coach but went 2:56:44 (0:18:53 PR) & Patrick didn’t get me till mile 40! That long climb out of Chickamauga definitely hit my legs and my quads were already tight coming in to T2. . Run: I’ve never hated an intimate object the way I hate the Walnut St. Bridge. Why is it up hill? Why does it have “speed” bumps on a pedestrian bridge? In all seriousness, 1st lap of the run went great. Felt ok. Legs holding up. Passed Patrick. Saw Coach, @tinahagen90 & Alison. 2nd lap the wheels came off. Quads cramping wasn’t great but ok the second trip over the veterans bridge my calf cramped and I almost dropped. Walk-shuffled the last two miles but I made it. Crossed the line at 5:54:56 (0:31:48 Course PR). . . #triathlontraining #ironman703 #trainhardracehappy #midlifetrisis #trainhardlaughharder #trainingcamp #triathlon #swimbikerun #ironman703chattanooga

Paula's 2nd 70.3 Ironman is complete! Great race on a hot day in Chattanooga! #ironman703chattanooga #triathlon #sunburn #whatsnext🤔 #sherpa
I had the opportunity to spectate the Ironman 70.3 in Chattanooga on Sunday. There were over 3,500 athletes! What an inspiration each and every one of them is. I heard amazing stories and witnessed athletes overcoming obstacles during the race. One man is a vet and he has been (and is) battling cancer. Wow, wow, wow! His story touches me personally and gives me hope. While I’m not currently battling cancer, I am dealing with survivor side effects and his journey inspires me to keep pushing. #swimbikerun #runnersofinstagram #ironman703chattanooga #cancersurvivor #runningmotivation #inspiration #dontgiveup

Solid day in the books at 70.3 Chattanooga. Swim-39th-28:25 In control didn’t worry about others. Bike-19th-2:10:59 Only passed by 1. Passed 17. Rode with Connor Readman for a while. Chose bad gear. Need bigger ring. Lost 1 bottle. Took in 230carb 1500mg sodium. Run-15th-1:18:42 Watch didn’t connect to gps at first. Started it late. Oh well fun time. Passed 9. Didn’t get passed. 205carbs. Overall-19th out of 54 male pros who started-4:02:15 A day, but not the A+. A few mistakes were made, but overall very happy. 2 weeks after one of my worst races ever happy to confirm training is correct & @whitelakehalf_proam was a fluke. Next up 70.3 Mont Tremblant and maybe a few local sprints. 📸 @kayla_edwards15 with the surprise showing up to the race.

Ironman 70.3 Chattanooga was a success! (Actually it’s an Ironman 70.5 since the swim course is long). The swim course was a fast and downriver swim. I swam in the middle of the river, so the current was pretty fast. Unfortunately, this also meant the river was fairly rough, especially around the bridge piers. But in a good swimmer, so I had a lot of fun with it. Coming into and out of T1 was a nightmare. This race had over 4,000 competitors (the largest Ironman 70.3 ever), and there wasn’t nearly enough space for all the athletes. The bike course was really crowded for the entire course, and we were all riding in one big peloton. But in the plus side, this meant that the bike course was really fast. It was a nice rolling course, which is something I excel at. I’m pretty fast down hills, and I can carry the momentum nicely into the next hill. I felt really good as I started out on the run course. It was a two loop course, with sections on the highway and sections on a nice river walk path. Unfortunately, my nutrition was a little off, and I really started to feel it on the second loop. To make it worse, a lot of the course was exposed, and the sun was really beating down. But I was able to hold it together and push through. Overall I had a great day, and I definitely didn’t learn any lessons about doing back to back races. #ironman #ironman703 #ironman703chattanooga #chattanooga #socrowded #waytomanypeople #greedyironman #hugerace #swimbikerun #keeppushing #goodday #triathlonlife
Today's life lesson: despite being a very BOP pro swimmer for many years, I'm actually halfway decent (not amazing, but passable) as an AG swimmer, and lining up 1000+ people back leads to a very unideal situation on the bike. I swam well today at the Chattanooga 70.3, but the bike was just pretty rough with trying to stay safe while navigating traffic and staying upright-honestly, there were just too many athletes on the course (and I otherwise love this course), and I saw a few nasty crashes that were pretty scary. Run was then ok, it wasn't my best day on two feet but gave it what I had, and was glad that a questionable hamstring tendon let me get through it and hold onto 4th in a close, fast, competitive AG. It was also just a ton of fun to race with some of my @qt2systems athletes and see so many on course! I'm proud of their performances across the board, and looking forward to taking the lessons learned today and applying them in the future. 🙂 #ironmantri #triathlon #racing #ironman703chattanooga

@ironmantri 70.3 Chattanooga, all checked in, complimentary pre race bike inspection and tune up by @quintanarootri , and bike racked. Even had a couple @athleticbrewing beers.

10 days out, I am feeling good. Nursing some soreness in my knee, but not concerned about that. Looking forward to spreading awareness about #sarcoidosis on a larger stage. #ironman703chattanooga #stopsarcoidosis #saysarcoidosis
Today I did a little day trip to prep for Ironman 70.3 Chattanooga coming up in exactly 2 weeks. It was hot and humid, and even rained for about 45 minutes during the bike ride. After riding the whole bike course, I did a little brick run basically covering the first and last miles of the run route. Not an easy day, but perfect to get me in a good mindset for the real thing. Race day will be here soon, and I can't wait! #triathlete #triathlontraining #triathlon #slowrunner #swimbikerun #gettingstronger #trilife #triathlonmotivation #teamzootse #teamzoot #zootsports #brooksghost15 #garmintriathlon #gatoradeendurance #endurancetraining #recoverytime #longrun #openwaterswimming #moremilesthanexcuses #biggoals #fitnessjourney #fitisfun #unproductive #roadbike #quintanarootri #fueledbythefeed #im703chatt #ironman703chattanooga
This week has been the hardest week of training so far. I logged the most miles and most hours so far in this endeavor. The #sarcoidosis certainly made its presence felt. I was forced to take an extra day off, and lower the intensity of another. In a bit of a logical fallacy, the closer I get, the better my nerves get. I guess that is the confidence that this week is supposed to instill. 2 weeks out from #ironman703chattanooga! #stopsarcoidosis #saysarcoidosis
A clean bike... must be almost Race Day! Yesterday was my last full day of training before my first race of my 3rd year with Team Zoot. Tomorrow morning I'll kick off the 2024 race season in Peachtree City, then Ironman 70.3 Chattanooga is just 2 weeks away.

19 days out, but if this forecast is accurate, it’s going to be a really long race. Feeling nervous and excited. At this point I have done all I can really do, will find out if it was enough. #stopsarcoidosis #sarcoidosisawareness #saysarcoidosis #ironman703chattanooga
When you have a chronic disease, everyone will, at some point, feel hopeless. Potential breakthroughs like this provide hope for the people struggling to get through. This is why I feel honored to have benefitted from the work of @stopsarcoidosis and the sarcoidosis clinic at UAB. THIS IS THE REASON FOR THE FUNDRAISING, to continue to provide hope for others! #stopsarcoidosis #saysarcoidosis #sarcoidosisawareness #sarcoidosisawarenessmonth #ironman703chattanooga
Last year PR and 2nd in 5k, this year PR and 2nd in 10K. No excuses, but I did start in the 5k group due to some miscommunication with the organizers, so I ran 10 miles further than 1st place…🤷♂️ Next stop #ironman703chattanooga on 5/19! #stopsarcoidosis #saysarcoidosis #sarcoidosisawareness #sarcoidosisawarenessmonth
This race, last year, is what sparked the comeback fire. Today, it is my final”tune-up” race before the #ironman703chattanooga next month. Hoping for a 10K PR. #stopsarcoidosis #saysarcoidosis #sarcoidosisawareness #sarcoidosisawarenessmonth

More pictures, and race recap details from Ironman 70.3 Chattanooga last weekend. The swim was awesome! Hands down the best OWS swim I’ve ever had. My training friends @djmac_333 and @stacey__ferguson came up to watch the race, and kept me company for a bit at swim start, so I was all smiles walking out to the dock to hop in the water. The water temp was about 73. Just perfect for the wetsuit I was wearing. The course is a point-to-point, almost completely straight, downriver swim, so sighting was easy, and I had no difficulty hitting a good sustainable rhythm. My shoulders didn’t hurt. My wetsuit didn’t restrict my movement too much. The 36 minutes it took me to complete the 1.4 mile swim seemed to fly by. Coming out of the water, the run up into transition was a bit long, and a little crowded going up the ramp. With a transition area sized for 3,200 racers you know it’s going to be big, so a lot of my time in transition was just getting in and out of it. No real issues though, and I was out on the bike. I LOVED this bike course and this bike race! A lot of folks scream about the hills. Yeah. Of course hills suck, but they certainly keep it from getting boring. I virtually sessioned some of the hardest parts of the ride on my trainer several times in the month leading up to the race, and then pre-rode the whole route about 2 weeks before the race, so I knew what I was getting into. I think being mentally prepared for these hills was almost as important as the physical prep. When it came time to race, I was 100% in the moment, focused on positioning and safety in the crowded course without wondering too much about what I’d see around the bend, or over the next hill, or how long the next hill was, or what the road surface was like (very rough, in a lot of areas). I nailed my nutrition & hydration plan almost exactly as planned. In the final 3rd of the ride, we were riding against some noticeable headwinds, which made things a little tougher. As I crossed back into TN at about mile 50, my legs were a little more tired that I wanted them to be, but I really happy I had been able to average about 19.5 mph (continued in comments)
