Most people don't recover.

They cross the finish line and immediately ask what's next. Base, build, peak, base, build, peak. No closing the season. Just dialing the intensity back up until something gives.

The fear underneath it is that slowing down means losing fitness, losing momentum, losing your edge. So you skip it. Then, six months in the burnout hits, the love for the sport goes, or you crash at work.

Recovery is a phase of the work. Not a break from it.
Four pieces:

Celebration. Name what you did out loud. The strongest validation you'll ever get is from you.

Reflection. Fact vs story. The facts are what happened. The story is what your brain made it mean.

Evidence. Your brain will minimize the win and exaggerate what went wrong. Write down what really happened. That's how you build the next capacity belief.

Contained rest. Not disappearing. A window with a start and an end. The part where you stop applying stress so the adaptation can lock in.

Skip this and the next season starts from a worse place than it should.

When it's time to go hard, go hard. When it's time to recover, recover.

Early morning trails to beat the 🥵. But I do love when summer comes. I have so many more friends on the trials with me at 6am!

Thank you

Up to the top of my favorite Phoenix mountain to ride, but not on a bike! 🏃🏼‍♀️⛰️

It's my new favorite run prep for
The road is closed on Sundays to cars so it's just me and all the cyclists. 14.5 miles and about 1800ft (up and down). Not quite the 9kft I'll climb in the race but it's a start!

Happy Training!

I'm in the build phase right now. Finally :) I am building towards the Ascend XTRI in France in July.

I mostly love the build phase. The sessions are longer. The intervals are sharper.

It is also more stressful.

Which is fine. Stress is not a “bad” thing. But there are two different kinds of stress.
Random stress is me making the harder session mean something it doesn't. Thinking: "Should this be easier by now?" " I should be way further along."

This stress does not serve a purpose but it does wreak havoc on my mindset and training success.

Controlled stress is different. It is the interval I chose. The goal I committed to. The discomfort that has a purpose. That is what creates the adaptation. That is the stress doing something for me.

Stress is not something you need to avoid but it is something to question.

This is where belief really matters. You have to believe (even a little) that you can get to your end results; otherwise, random stress will keep running the show.

Know which stress is running you. And let your belief about what you can handle keep pace with what you are doing.

I have a new favorite shoe! is a show designed just for women! I met the foundation at the Tri Expo in London, tried on a pair and fell in love instantly.

Women are not small men and our needs are different. The heel is nice and snug which helps me and the push off speed is just so fun!

ALL the trails time! Time to get serious about the in July. Maybe the hardest and extreme triathlon? It's the first year of the race so we shall see!

What's the big deal?
3am 🏊🏼‍♀️
180k 🚴🏼‍♀️ in the Pyrenees with 5000m (16kft) of climbing
42k 🏃🏼‍♀️ to the top of Pic du Midi with a casual 2800m (9k ft) of climbing.

It going to be a long and very epic day!

I mean, why race in parking lots when you can race over Tour de France climbs and up into the mountains?

Let's do ALL the Christmas things in 3... 2... 1... Go!

Christmas is fun when kids are little but it might be even more fun when they get older.

Although 50% of Azella's outfit is mine and she forbids me from wearing skinny jeans (apparently that's a clear sign you are a millennial). Good thing I have her around to keep things fun and me cool 😆

3:40am race start for
3.8k 🏊🏼‍♀️
180km 🚴🏼‍♀️with 3500m+ (11kft+) climbing and with some incredible climbing and fast TTing
42km🏃🏼‍♀️ with 1000m+ climbing (3500ft+)

Point to point so you see really get to experience parts of Brazil most tourists never see.

The beauty of XTRIs, they are hard AF but also so awesome. Why stick to just "normal" when there are many other experiences out there to explore?

A non-training selfie what? Don't worry, still traveling for a race 😸. In Brazil with to support the extreme triathlon 🇧🇷

Drove the full course yesterday with some not perfect weather and it was spectacular (see stories)! I want to race next year just to do the main climb on the bike! The road is basically built into the side of a canyon.

XTRI races are special for so many reasons: the community, small fields, the beautiful and challenging courses, the places you travel to, the incredible places you can stay along the way (rural farmhouse, amazing Airbnb find).

There are so many reasons to think outside the standard box for racing, life is way more fun with a little more challenge and unknown thrown at you :)

Fodaxman has full and Solo Point Five (half distance and no support crew needed races) in 2026...

So proud of Finding Endurance Athletes! What a GREAT weekend!

Talen with almost a 1hr 70.3 PR with a 4:50 (and that is in just 7 months!) Big things coming for him next year!

Jim had a 44min 70.3 PR and 18 secs shy of sub 6hrs, next time!

Ciara Stockeland fought so hard to stay in top 10 and ended up with 9th in AG with the 5th fastest AG bike split.

Chad is back to racing with a 50k trail race, 1AG and 5th overall

Dianna took on another round of The Loop, 8 mile race and showed up WITH a demanding job, 2 young kids and all the things.

What I am most proud of is that they did the work, showed up, suffered, fought and stayed in it until the end.

It's amazing what you can learn about yourself in the course of a few hours.

Always honored to be a coach of these amazing humans.

Even better to share the coaching with Azella, Clarke and
