I got my sherpa/nurse/husband to take me up to #imtx2017 to cheer on the crew. Always a good time with the team. So motivating and inspiring to watch so many great athletes do work. Thanks to my husband and my family for seeing me through training and helping mend the physical and emotional wounds. I'll get you next time #IRONMAN ... next time! (at Ironman Triathlon, The Woodlands)

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

Ironman Texas recap

Ironman Texas recap #imtx #ironmantexas #texas #imtx2017 #racereport #racerecap #firstironman #1stIronman

I’m starting this repot from the best part of that day, those four words I dreamt about for so long: Silvina “you are an ironman!”

Oh…! Tell me about happy endings!!

It really is a dream come true.

Two turns before the finish line I got a little emotional and I thought I’d cry, but I never did really; what I couldn’t get rid of was that huge smile on my face! And on the other side was the Pro, my…

Sh%* just got real(er) My husband 💏 or #ohana 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧 ordered these beauties for me. @tritats have arrived! 18 days to #imtx2017 #🤠 It looks like #tritats may have even corrected the original order (when IMTX reassigned new bib numbers). Thanks for the great #customerservice #irontats #NOsharpie #ironmantri #swimbikerun #triathlon #triathlete

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

Ahhhh....I've been sticking to a recovery regimen post long #run workouts #🏃of ice and mineral #saltbath #🛀. #drgoogle even thinks it's good: "in water, it breaks down into magnesium and sulfate. The theory is that when you soak in an Epsom salt bath, these get into your body through your skin. That hasn't been proven, but just soaking in warm water can help relax muscles and loosen stiff joints." #deadsea salt #🏺is best if you're pressed for time. If you can linger a bit good old #epsomsalt is cheap and does the job. Today I went with natural eucalyptus and peppermint #mineralsalt #⚱#triathlontraining #ironmantraining #imtx2017

#fbf my first 70.3 in 2015. Today I'm somewhere half way into training for #imtx2017 I'm tired. I'm grumpy. I'm hungry. Idgaf. It's time to go into my cave, focus on ME, nail each session and not let the stress and drama, and negative energy of those around me affect my goal. Starve your distractions. Feed your focus.

These legs were covered in dirt and road smut but 3 months ago these legs couldn't run. Injury is a bitch! Today I rode for a very, very, very long time and followed up with a 10k. It sucked...a lot. A few moments of self-doubt crept in but I had to remind myself that...a few months ago I could not run. It is definitely not fast, but forward is a speed, and that's the direction I'm going. #igotfit #powerhouse_racing #onrunning #runonclouds #cloudflow #ironmantraining #ironman #imtx2017 #triathlon

#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.

...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.

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

[rachelerobfit]

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 #👀
