Very humid and overcast skies helped keep the sun at bay for most of our ride. Thankful for our teammates that joined us for the first 3:30hrs. Love you guys!! You made a long day bearable. Ride went better than I expected. No issues with hip and ankle like I’ve had over the last week. 🙏🏻 I’ve turned the corner.⁣ ⁣ 21 days till race day.⁣ 1 more week of heavy training.⁣ 1 week of taper.⁣ Then it’ll be time to pack and start our drive to Boulder on June 4th!⁣ Yikes... the next 3 weeks are going to fly by.⁣ ⁣ In the midst of all this, we still have to be parents. Ethan will finish his freshman year of HS on Thursday and the very next day he’ll have his end of year cello recital for his private teacher. Then next Sunday, we put Lauren on a plane for her summer intership in Wurzburg, Germany. ⁣ ⁣ Sure am going to miss having Lauren with us in Boulder but know she will have an amazing experience this summer in Europe.⁣ ⁣ #imboulder #brittonstriforce #loveourlife #lifeisgood #ironmantraining #athlete #hardtraining #plantstrong #workworkwork⁣⁣ #whatmovesyou⁣ #girlswithmuscle⁣ #movebetter⁣ #trainbetter #lifestylegoals #happylife #constanlyimproving #strongernotskinny #youarepowerful #texas #positiveliving #thisis51 #longhairproblems #hippain #trainsmarter (at San Antonio, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxqff5jhJJO/?igshid=156f7gsiibvmv

Credit to @lalicakes33 : I absolutely LOVED my OWS session yesterday. There are four teams represented in this photo: @bngendurance @Alamo 180 @im_foundation and #brittonstriforce. We met a lot of people from @alamo180 so I felt super safe. Love that group because they’re so welcoming of everyone, which is helpful because training for an @ironmantri alone is difficult. Doable, but difficult. • Another reason I loved my workout was because I got to see my super secret squirrel mission teammates. @trimomlinda and @julsey_tris are two of the most amazing and supportive people on the planet. I could not do this without them. They’re everything you could ever ask for in in a training group. • 257 days until Ironman Texas. ❤️ #Swimbikerun #trilife #ironmantraining #ironmantri #swimmer #tri365 #tritraining #triathlontraining #3athlonlife #triathlete #thetrihood #top_triathletes #halfironman #triathletes #swimming #triathlon #ironmantriathlon #swim #triswimpics — view on Instagram https://newaveswim.com/31uHQKM

Its not about how bad you want it..... It’s about how hard you’re willing to work for what you want 👊🏻 I went into this day not knowing what to expect.⁣ ⁣ New saddle for my tribike after the last 2 were a no go. 😥⁣ An old knot in my left shoulder 😥⁣ Hip pain that surfaced last week 😥⁣ ⁣ I managed to get in for a last minute massage last night after my 3,000 yard swim 🏊🏻‍♀️ It helped 🙏🏻 A lot to deal with and no guarantee I’d be able to finish a 5hr 🚴🏻‍♀️ ride of rolling hills then a 40min run. I did everything I could the last few days to get relief so today would be the test. This would be my longest ride to date and on a brand new saddle was a bit worrisome. I’m glad I was able to finish without the saddle pain I experienced last week. The 3,400 feet of elevation to get us ready for Boulder was no joke. 😳 Bright side the new saddle is a go 😀⁣ ⁣ Now if the hip pain would just go away so that I can run pain free would be great. My coach’s recommendation is to skip my long run tomorrow to help my hip feel better. So lots of TLC the next few days. Sometime we just need to listen to our bodies and in my case listen to the advice of my coach so that I get to race day injury free. Still a great 2 days of training. 🙌🏻⁣ ⁣ #50days #IMBoulder #BrittonsTriForce #neverquit #veganfit #plantstrongathlete #triathlon #triathlete #cycling #cyclinglife #vegan #veganism #veganlife #veganaf #plantbased #plantpoweredathlete #veganpower #plantpower #plantpowered (at Bulverde, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/myraschwartz.plantpowered/p/BwgA8QFjBUL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14cwruv87p353

Let the adventure begin... Galveston or Bust 🤣 #racerehersalweekend⁣ ⁣ Started our Saturday morning with some meal prepping before we headed out for our overnight trip to Galveston. 😀 After tomorrow’s training we’ll have to drive 4 hours home so we’ll be a bit tired 😴 so planning ahead now will help us start next week on the right foot! ⁣ ⁣ BENEFITS of Meal Prep...⁣ 👏🏻 save money ⁣ 👏🏻 eat healthier ⁣ 👏🏻 stay more committed to your goals ⁣ 👏🏻 save time ⁣ 👏🏻 make healthier choices in stressful times ⁣ 👏🏻 less food waste ⁣ ⁣ Swipe left... Brown rice and millet in the Instant pot to serve with veggies and protein of choice.⁣ ⁣ Seasoned red lentils that I’ll add fresh spinach and serve with brown rice for quick and simple lunch or dinner next week.⁣ ⁣ Brown lentils to make vegan lentil balls to serve with pasta or with veggies and a whole grain. I’ll finish making them on Monday but saving time by cooking the lentils now. #newrecipe from my new Fixate cookbook!!⁣ ⁣ Soooo I don’t like food going to waste that I made lunch for breakfast. Why not? 😜 ⁣ ⁣ Crispy tofu made from the leftover grilled tofu, steamed collard greens, brown rice and sliced avocado. Perfectly portioned out and hitting all the major food groups for a winning combo!! 🙌🏻⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #planahead #roadtrip #imlife #trilife365 #ironmanathletes #saturdaymealprep #bestlife #ironcouple #imtexas703 #brittonstriforce #planning #bethechange #busymomlife #loveyourlife #plantpowered #plantstrong #destinationrace (at San Antonio, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/myraschwartz.plantpowered/p/BvXPmq2DiES/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=z024sbz6x3hp

Flashback to the beautiful bike course at @ironmantri Waco 70.3 ⁣ After completing 5 Ironman 70.3 races in the last 2 years, Waco 70.3 was by far my best one overall. I knew a sub 3 hour bike was a really loooong shot but I came pretty darn close with a time of 3:05:23 and as for the run I was hoping for a sub 2:15 and came in at 2:13:01 🙌🏻⁣ ⁣ Needless to say, a great finish to one of the toughest 12 months of my life between shoulder surgery a year ago, losing my daddy, my mom being diagnosed with breast cancer and finishing 2 Ironman races in those same 12 months. Training for these races is probably the one thing that kept me from turning to food and alcohol to cope.⁣ ⁣ Thank you to my amazing family, my fit family, my tri team, my friends and many of you here on IG for being there to support and encourage me. I couldn’t have done this without any of you!! 😘 Julian Schwartz Love you always and forever!!⁣ ⁣ ————————————— ⁣ Thank you @justinluau for capturing an amazing race day pic to end my 2018 race season!!⁣ ⁣ ————————————— ⁣ #teamschwartz #brittonstriforce #govegan #plantpoweredtrigirl (at Waco, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bps-9xdD983/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gmx5bswvr69y

Alamo 13.1 Half marathon redemption day after bowing 🙇‍♀️ out 2 weeks ago. We still managed to keep our social distancing while running with the occasional gloved fist punch as we passed each other. 😜 Ready for a shower, cozy clothes and 🌱 food. ⁣

With 18 weeks to IM Lake Placid 🙏🏻, training continues... building up to marathon distance running following a 8min/45sec run/walk plan.⁣
