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

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.

Repeat after me:⁣ I love moving my body daily.⁣ I love feeding my body nourishing foods.⁣ I love how it makes me feel.⁣ ⁣ The more we tell ourselves how much we dislike or hate doing something the harder it is to get ourselves to do it.⁣ ⁣ The more we dread it, the more we don't look forward to it, the more we don't give it our all.⁣ ⁣ The more we compare ourselves to others and are disappointed with our effort equals falling short of what we are capable of. ⁣ ⁣ Each of us have our own gifts. 😘⁣ ⁣ It's up to us what we do with them!💚⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #tapertime #triathlon #tritraining #ironman #ironmantraining #trichicks #tri365 #triathletes #trilife #imboulder #glutestrength #nevermissaday #enduranceracing #goaldigger⁣ #dontquityourdaydream⁣ #bossladiesmindset⁣ #lifestylegoals⁣ #slaytheday⁣ #workworkwork⁣ #dailygrind⁣ #whatmovesyou⁣ #trainhard⁣ #girlswithmuscle⁣ #plantstrong #movebetter⁣ #trainbetter⁣ #lifestylegoals #happylife #constanlyimproving #strongernotskinny (at San Antonio, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByFi-t_hnzr/?igshid=vxj7tbixw4io

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

In life you will suffer one of two pains... Pain of Discipline or Pain of Regret. ⁣ ⁣ The pain of discipline weighs ounces in comparison to the pain of regret!⁣ ⁣ I tried to hit my goal like I did in 2017 when I did this same run for my first IM. The first 15 miles were on pace per plan (5min run/1min walk interval) but my hip reminded me today this run wasn’t going to end pretty. To avoid causing damage that could negatively affect race day I called it at 16.2 miles. Zero regrets. I gave it my all. ⁣💪🏻 Always listen to your body!! ⁣ #imboulder #22days #plantstrong #texasborn #schwartzstrong #51andfit #plantbasedathlete #2019goals #nomeatathlete #imtraining #runhappy #endurancejunkie #triathlete #triharder #tri #tri365 #triathlontraining #doepicshit #aggie91 #badassisbeautiful #lifestylegoals #happylife #constanlyimproving #strongernotskinny #humansoftriathlon (at San Antonio, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxnfJmbBrEk/?igshid=1okjpj5e4ygiw

A teammate caught me at #imtexas703 coming out of the swim and I had such an intense look on my face. This was probably the most challenging swim I’ve done since my first 70.3 in 2016 but I felt totally badass. 💪🏻 I overcame my fear of OWS in saltwater on this day.⁣ ⁣ Don’t fear failure!
