The triathlon off-season is officially underway! 🙌🏼 . This morning I completed my semi-annual blood draw to provide a full analysis of lipid, CMP, TSH, FT4, FT3, ferritin, IgA, IgF-1, 24-OH vitamin D, testosterone and PSA, in addition to full micronutrient panels using SpectraCell (@spectracelllabs) and Vibrant America labs. 💉 . I work closely with Jeff Grimm, NP-C, and the team at BioLounge (@bioloungepdx) to monitor and adjust nutrition, supplementation and lifestyle to optimize life for longevity-focused performance. 🏊🏼‍♂️🚴🏼‍♂️🏃🏽‍♂️ . The next six weeks of “off-season” I’ll be following the @trainerroad Olympic Triathlon Base, Low Volume, training plan. This training volume is the perfect amount of break from the traditional grind, and complements nicely the busy holiday season.🎄🎁 . Today I enjoyed a beautiful 1100 yard swim at VillaSport Beaverton (@villasport_beaverton). The warm pool is delicious to swim in, when the outside air temperature is around 37°F. Those breaths of cool air in between strokes feel so good. ❄️🏊🏼‍♂️ . Cheers to a great off-season! 💚 . . . #triathlon #ironmantriathlon #swimbikerun #ironman #ironmantri #tri #triathlete #triathlontraining #ironmantraining #triathletes #trilife #triathlonlife #athlonlife #tritraining #world #swim #top #swimmer #cycling #in #the #swimming #openwaterswimming #triatlon #endurance #thetrihood #ironman703 #triathlonmotivation #teamzoot #im703cda

A holiday advent calendar for beer enthusiasts? Yes, please! 🍻❤️ . Twenty-four, sixteen-point-nine-ounce cans, of imported German beer, exclusively manufactured by privately-owned small craft breweries throughout Germany, and packaged together in a fun and festive way to countdown to Christmas. 🇩🇪🎄 . Thank you to @costco and team at Kelea for assembling an amazing treat! 🙌🏼 . . . #germanbeer #beer #craftbeer #bier #instabeer #beerstagram #oktoberfest #beerlover #beers #beergarden #beergeek #prost #cerveza #beerporn #drinklocal #birra #germany #beerlovers #thebeerists #beertime #cerveja #lager #germanbier #nightlife #biergarten #l #beerbar #beerblog #bierliebe #theveganironman

It’s an amazing experience, when everything hurts, and you know you can stop anytime if you want to, but you don’t, you keep pushing to the finish, because on the other side of that pain is a feeling of accomplishment that is indescribable. . My first full IRONMAN event is in the books, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the experience. . Unfortunately, the lead-up to the event came with some serious struggle. 10 days before the event an illness took hold, which turned into a full chest and sinus infection that stayed with me throughout the event. Pre-race training was put on hold. Rest and recovery was priority. Not ideal whatsoever. . 18 hours prior to race start, I did 800 yards of running in the hotel parking lot, and came in looking like I finished 10 intense miles. Drenched in sweat, shaking, I looked at Naomi and said, “This is not good.” . I didn’t purchase any pre-race event merchandise. I had low confidence in being able to even start, let alone finish. I am sure it was a combination of illness, pre-race anxiety, and the mind playing mental games to prevent the body from the intense physical challenge that was in front of me. . I awoke race morning and felt somewhat normal. I was coughing, my sinuses were drippy, but an odd confidence came over me and I thought, “Let’s just do one part at a time, and see what happens.” . The swim start began with my cheering sister, Jennifer (@jencrowther), on the sidelines, as I entered the semi-sanitary waters of Tempe Town Lake and as I finished, I felt okay. I enjoyed the swim, and only coughed occasionally. I said to myself, “You just finished an IRONMAN swim. Let’s ride.” . [Continued in comments]

So this happened last night. 😄 . More pictures and stories to come, but what an adventure. . . . #triathlon #ironmantriathlon #swimbikerun #ironman #ironmantri #tri #triathlete #triathlontraining #ironmantraining #triathletes #trilife #triathlonlife #athlonlife #tritraining #world #swim #top #swimmer #cycling #in #the #swimming #openwaterswimming #triatlon #endurance #thetrihood #ironmanarizona #triathlonmotivation #teamzoot #imaz

What an experience! . This is my last “big” week of training before @ironmantri Arizona on November 24th. This week’s adjusted schedule had me down for a 4 hour and 30 minute @trainerroad session, which I ride on @gozwift. . I had to add on an extra 24 minutes to capture that coveted @gozwifttriathlon Century Kit, but it was totally worth it! 🏆🏁 . A swim this afternoon and a long run tomorrow morning, and then the taper to race day begins.🌵 . . . #imaz #teamzoot #triathlon #swimbikerun #running #ironman #run #triathlete #triathlontraining #cycling #bike #swimming #swim #tri #training #fitness #ironmantraining #trilife #runner #sport #gym #nata #triatlon #runners #marathon #motivation #ciclismo #triathlonlife #paincave #garmin

November mornings never disappoint. .

Time for an overdue post. Let’s head back to early September and the @bestinthewestevents Triathlon Festival in Sweet Home, Oregon, September 6-8, 2019. . This is one of the best triathlon events in the Northwest. The location, beautiful course and event execution are outstanding! 🏆 Checkout my 2018 review at bit.ly/bitwreview . Applying my “race rules” set in mid-2019, this event was all about fun. I didn’t care about finish times or rankings. I took my time in transitions and just enjoyed the race experience. . It was a challenging race. Having finished this Half Iron (70.3) course in 2018, I expected to do “better” since I was now familiar with it. The conditions were amazing (overcast, ~60°F), yet I was slower year-over-year. . After finishing, Naomi came over and said, “You finished 3rd in your age group!”🥉 I was like, “Impossible.” I checked finished times for 2018 participants and knew I couldn’t finish fast enough to podium. . We checked again and sure enough, it was a podium! 🎉 I was slow, and so was everyone else, and post race many chatted about how it was harder/slower for many of us. 🤷🏼‍♂️ . This was my first age group podium finish in a triathlon and I was thrilled. 🤗 . Thanks to Naomi and the boys for all of the love and support. Thanks to you, the Instagram family for the on-going encouragement and support. I was grateful to be the one to get Team Zoot on the podium for this wonderful Half Iron race. . . . . . #triathlon #swimbikerun #running #ironman #run #triathlete #triathlontraining #cycling #bike #swimming #swim #tri #training #fitness #ironmantraining #trilife #runner #sport #gym #nata #triatlon #runners #marathon #motivation #lgbtq🌈 #triathlonlife #workout #garmin #lgbt #teamzoot

It’s wonderful to work for a company that emphasizes, promotes and supports diversity and inclusion. . When you walk into the lobby @intel you are greeted with a reminder that diversity and inclusion are critical to innovation. This statement is so true at work, and in life. . I love and celebrate the advancement of race, gender, and sexual identity (LGBTQ+) equality, awareness and support. . Be bold. Be beautiful. Be you. The future is bright. ❤️🌈 . . . #pride #gay #lgbt #loveislove #lgbtq #love #instagay #lesbian #gaypride #queer #bisexual #gayboy #transgender #pridemonth #trans #rainbow #dragqueen #lovewins #pansexual #like #equality #follow #photography #drag #bi #instagram #nonbinary #makeup #gaylove #vegan

I’m 3 hours into a 3 hour and 45 minute long ride. It’s nice to be productive on these long rides. A small table from Costco helps stay aero-ish and still get work done. The Wahoo KICKR desk is on its way from Amazon. It just didn’t make it in time 😅 . @trainerroad and @gozwifttriathlon keep track of my effort in the background. So awesome 🙌🏼 . . . 📷: @nomi_red . #imaz #teamzoot #triathlon #swimbikerun #running #ironman #run #triathlete #triathlontraining #cycling #bike #swimming #swim #tri #training #fitness #ironmantraining #trilife #runner #sport #gym #nata #triatlon #runners #marathon #motivation #ciclismo #triathlonlife #paincave #garmin

A beautiful logging road training run in the backyard yesterday afternoon. 80°F with a breeze. You can’t ask for better weather. 🏃🏽‍♂️ . I’m currently in the Base Phase of the Triathlon Full Distance training plan on @trainerroad preparing for IRONMAN Arizona in November. The session for yesterday included 8 x 1 min hill sprints. . Unfortunately it’s only and up-and-down terrain, but it’s great to be alone in the woods to calm the mind and focus the effort. 🎯 . . . #triathlon #swimbikerun #running #ironman #run #triathlete #triathlontraining #trailrun #oregon #timberland #altrarunning #tri #training #fitness #ironmantraining #trilife #runner #sport #gym #nata #triatlon #runners #marathon #motivation #teamzoot #triathlonlife #workout #garmin
