It’s been a busy but productive day. All checked in and packets picked up.⁣ ⁣ Started our morning with a breathtaking practice swim in the Boulder Reservoir where the swim will take place on Sunday. The water was a cool 62 😍 but the last 2 months of swimming at Boerne City Lake helped us feel right at home. The water was smooth as glass which I think helped me stay calm and have one of my best swims. 😀 If I can repeat this on Sunday it’ll def be a 2.4mile PB swim! 🤞🏻The view of the reservoir after our swim 😍⁣ ⁣ The bike course is fairly fast and not nearly as challenging as our last one in Mont Tremblant. We took our bikes out for a spin to make sure all their bits and piece were working as they should be. Boulder is amazingly beautiful with clear blue skies, more lakes and ponds then you can count, rolling fields and horse farms and the Flatiron Mountains raising up in the background. There was lots of huffing and puffing going on 🤣 in this short time ride.⁣ ⁣ There’s no greater feeling than doing something that makes you feel alive. It’s icing on the cake when you’re doing it in a beautiful place with the love of your life by your side.⁣ ⁣ Anything is Possible!!! ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #imboulder #3days till race day #51willbeepic #youcandoittoo #tri365 #smalltowngirl #nevergiveup #plantstrongfoodie #loveyourselfday #texas #fuelyourbody #citygirl #destinationraces #doepicshit #orbeagirls #neverstoptrying #badassisbeautiful #itstartswithwhy #whynotyou #resultsstarthere #lifetransformation #ifuelwithplants #heartforliving #womenwhotri #nevergiveupattitude #hardworkpaysoff #ironwill #tricouple #trainharder #resultsstarthere (at IRONMAN Boulder) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByZKKmoh_G5/?igshid=dkiz5mg4po7l

One last visit with my orthopedic before we head out tomorrow morning. His best recommendation was a cortisone shot in my ankle and hip to kick in so I can cross the finish line on Sunday without too much pain and still be able to walk around on my anniversary the next day. 😬 ⁣ ⁣ I know this is just a short term medical intervention but it may be the one thing that helps. I’m not taking the chance with the anti-inflammatories jacking with my UC so this is the only option I have. The things we do to keep doing what we love. 🤣⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #imboulder #ironmantraining #raceweek #tapertime #texas #enduranceracing #plantstrong #trilifestyle #texasfoodie #plantpoweredathlete #orbeagirls #orbeacouple #dailygrind⁣ #whatmovesyou⁣ #trainhard⁣ #girlswithmuscle⁣ #movebetter⁣ #trainbetter #lifestylegoals #happylife #constanlyimproving #cortisoneshot #beaudacious #strongernotskinny #veganaf #goalhelper #timetogrow #destinationraces (at Orthopedic Performance Institute) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByRGGFnBmny/?igshid=12sw7ai0pv6ip

The first step to change happens inside your head. Vizualize your goal and go get it. You don't need to be the best, but you can be the best version of yourself. ⁣ Our trainings is officially done for #IMBoulder. It was wonderful having our final training ride with our TriForce teammates.⁣ 🏊🏻‍♀️🚴🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️⁣ ⁣ Ready to enjoy the rest of our weekend with Ethan before we head out on our adventure on Tuesday.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #beaudacious #destinationraces #trilifestyle #tapertime #ironcouple ⁣⁣ #imboulder2019 #tapertime #ironcouple #texas #enduranceracing #plantstrong #trilifestyle #trainbetter #plantpoweredathlete #orbeagirls ##orbeacouple #dailygrind⁣ #whatmovesyou⁣ #trainhard⁣ #girlswithmuscle⁣ #movebetter⁣ #timetogrow #lifestylegoals #happylife #constanlyimproving #strongernotskinny #veganaf #goalhelper (at Bulverde, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByLfBnhB0wc/?igshid=1hohv3xl03q8q

Life will only change when you become more committed to your dreams than you are to your comfort zone.⁣ 🙌🏻 ⁣ May didn’t go as planned. Dealt with many lingering injuries all month but this Ironman journey has taught me to preserve no matter what lies ahead. Despite all the doubts, fears and long hours of training with my best friend, I couldn’t have done it without him. ⁣ ⁣ May totals 😀 30,884yards/17.5mi swimming 🏊🏻‍♀️ ⁣ 468.7mi cycling 🚴🏻‍♀️ ⁣ 41.4mi running 🏃🏻‍♀️ ⁣ ⁣ #9days till race day #imboulder #tapertime #ironcouple #texas #enduranceracing #plantstrong #trilifestyle #texasfoodie #fridaymood #plantpoweredathlete #orbeagirls #orbeacouple #dailygrind⁣ #whatmovesyou⁣ #trainhard⁣ #girlswithmuscle⁣ #movebetter⁣ #trainbetter #lifestylegoals #happylife #constanlyimproving #strongernotskinny #veganaf #goalhelper #timetogrow #swimming (at Boerne Lake) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByJxkUrB0r1/?igshid=16nj67ez376ex

We did it!! Last long ride in the books. Tough day between the 15mph winds, heat and humidity. Now to enjoy our taper before we start packing next weekend. 😀⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Taper ⚠️ ⁣⁣⁣ Exercise extreme caution around triathletes over the next week. Tapering triathletes are prone to sudden outbursts of emotions, grumpiness, mysterious pains and need for food. Approach at your own risk 😜⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Best part of today, we received a text at the end of our ride that our daughter, Lauren made it safely to Würzburg, Germany for her summer internship. One happy mamma 😀⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ #imboulder #tapertime #ironcouple #texas #enduranceracing #plantstrong #trilifestyle #plantpoweredathlete #orbeagirls ##orbeacouple #dailygrind #magicmonday⁣ #whatmovesyou⁣ #trainhard⁣ #girlswithmuscle⁣ #movebetter⁣ #trainbetter #mantramonday⁣ #lifestylegoals #happylife #constanlyimproving #strongernotskinny #veganaf #goalhelper #timetogrow (at Bulverde, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx_VJ2qBfCg/?igshid=377klzqa8iys
