Huge congratulations to Austin on his 1st Place finish at the Music City Sprint Triathlon, winning the Tennessee State Championship title, and earning his spot at Nationals! 🏆

Every race, Austin gets a little faster and a lot smarter. He's dialing in the details-getting comfortable with rubber bands for his bike mounts, learning how to pace the bike, and recently making the switch to running with power. The result? A new run Critical Power, a new bike FTP and a Podium Finish. 📈

What I love most is how committed he is to learning and improving. He asks questions, trusts the process, and keeps getting better.

It's hard to believe this all started by watching his wife cross the finish line of a 70.3. What began as inspiration has turned into a complete transformation, and now he's hungry for bigger goals.

Nationals, here we come! Time to throw him into the big pond and see what happens. Proud of you, Austin! 👊

RUN CHA 5K 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Fun morning at the RUN CHA 5K!

I was lucky enough to finish as 2nd Female Overall, and Jay took 3rd in his age group after a hard fall on a slippery road following the rain. Road rash, bleeding, and bruised up but he got back up, finished strong, and never stopped smiling. That's grit that watch can not measure.

One of my favorite things about racing is getting to hang out with my athletes before the start and celebrate with them at the finish. Watching people challenge themselves and achieve their goals never gets old.

Races don't always go as planned, but perseverance matters more than perfect conditions.

Congrats to everyone who showed up and got it done. A pretty great way to kick off Global Running Day Week! ❤️

Another weekend, another set of shiny PRs ✨🔥

Huge congratulations to Jay and Bylinda for absolutely crushing the Race to Save the Laurel Dace 10K!

🏆 Jay placed 1st in his age group
🏆 Bylinda placed 2nd in her age group
⚡ BOTH athletes ran 10K PRs!

And one of my favorite parts? Bylinda got to race alongside her husband and son ❤️ I absolutely LOVE seeing families out there doing hard things together, cheering each other on, and creating memories.

These performances didn’t happen by accident. Consistent work. Trusting the process. Showing up week after week. And now we’re seeing fitness build at exactly the right time as Jay and Bylinda continue progressing toward their A-races. Let's GO! 👊

Some finish lines mean more. ❤️

Last Saturday, Raven completed her very first triathlon at 75 years young.

This dream sat in her heart for TEN YEARS… and this weekend, she crossed that finish line with the biggest smile on her face and all of us cheering her on with joyful tears in our eyes.

And the beautiful thing? Raven did not just finish a triathlon. She reminded every single person around her that it is NEVER too late to chase your dreams. Never too late to start. Never too late to become stronger. Never too late to surprise yourself.

I honestly don’t even have words for how proud I am of this incredible woman.

Raven is one of those rare humans who makes the world brighter everywhere she goes. Somehow she becomes friends with everyone she meets. Her energy, positivity, kindness, curiosity, and joy for life are contagious. Being around her and her husband feels like taking a deep breath and remembering what really matters.

I soak in every moment I spend with them - learning about nature, healing herbs, slowing down, appreciating simple moments, laughing more, living more fully. They are truly some of the happiest people I have ever met in my life.

And yesterday, watching her push through nerves, trust herself, and accomplish something she dreamed about for a decade was one of the most special moments I’ve ever experienced as a coach.

There were hugs. Tears. Smiles. So much joy. And a finish line I will never forget.

Raven, thank you for inspiring all of us. You are proof that the human spirit is limitless. ❤️

Season opener SUCCESS 🏊‍♀️🚴‍♀️🏃‍♀️

What an incredibly fun day at the inaugural Fall Creek Falls Sprint Triathlon! The park was absolutely beautiful, the hills were no joke, and my heart is so full after getting to race alongside my athletes and friends. ❤️

Jacque, Lisa, Raven and I all kicked off our tri season together, while Austin added another strong race to his season. Everybody raced so well and left with confidence heading into some BIG goals later this year.

Highlights of the day:
✨ Raven completed her FIRST TRIATHLON EVER at 75 YEARS YOUNG
✨ Lisa and Jacque had fantastic races and strong finishes grabbing 1st in AG
✨ Austin grabbed 2nd in his AG
✨ I was lucky enough to take Overall Female

But honestly, the best part wasn’t the results. It was watching my athletes push through nerves, climb tough hills, trust their training, cross the finish line smiling, and then celebrate together with hugs, high fives, laughter, and stories afterward. THIS is why I love coaching.

Triathlon is hard. It is challenging. It pushes you outside your comfort zone. But it is also empowering, joyful, and full of the most amazing people. ❤️

We are just getting started this season 🔥

I was honored to be selected as a highlighted coach this month by USA Triathlon.

What means the most to me isn’t the recognition itself, but what it represents. Coaching, for me, has always been about helping athletes discover what they are capable of, building confidence through the process, and creating an environment where people feel supported, seen, and challenged in the right ways.

This feature also included something I care deeply about - education. My work around women-specific training is now part of a CEU offering for other coaches, focused on helping them better support female athletes with more individualized approaches.

I’m a big believer that coaching should never stand still. I’ll always keep learning, evolving, and sharing what I can with both my athletes and the coaching community.

To my athletes - thank you for trusting me, for showing up, and for putting in the work. Your growth, your breakthroughs, and your resilience are what make this work so meaningful.💙

Huge congrats to Bylinda on a shiny new 10K PR at the Dolly Dash 10K! 🎉

This one didn’t happen by accident - it took trust, patience, and willingness to make adjustments along the way. And it paid off. Perfect benchmark as we head into a big build ahead. And here’s the part that surprises a lot of people… her volume actually went down, not up and yet the speed showed up.

A great reminder: more is not always better, especially for women. “Exercise more, eat less” is not the formula for performance.

So proud of you, Bylinda. Confidence boost unlocked. Let’s go! 🏃‍♀️

The kind of positivity that lifts everyone around her - that’s Roxxy ❤️

After a 26.2 twenty years ago that didn’t go as planned, it took real courage to step back up to the distance… and she chose Hawaii as the destination.

I’ll admit - I had flashbacks of my own time in the medical tent there 😅 but we were ready for the challenge.

This time, we did it differently.

✔️ Confidence built mesocycle after mesocycle.
✔️ Benchmark testing showing real, undeniable progress.
✔️ Fueling finally dialed in after years of GI struggles - tested, adjusted, and mastered until race day felt controlled.

Race day came. No guesswork. Just ex*****on.

✔️ Smart pacing
✔️ Consistent fueling
✔️ Ready for the brutal Hawaii heat

And that finish line smile? That’s everything!

This wasn’t just about finishing a marathon. This was growth, patience, resilience, and trusting the process all the way through.

So proud to be part of this journey - a huge, hard-earned accomplishment! Congratulations, Roxxy!!!

Onward and upward 🚀

Austin coming in HOT to start the season 🔥🥈

2nd place in the sprint triathlon to open the year.

What I respect most about this journey is how it started and how it kept going. Inspired by his wife, he jumped in headfirst, went from sprint to 70.3, and now he’s chasing bigger goals with intent.

It hasn’t been smooth. Bike crashes, swim struggles… plenty of reasons to get frustrated or back off. He did the opposite. Showed up, asked questions, made the drive to work with me in person, and committed to getting better. Not flashy work - the consistent, “boring” reps that actually move the needle.

This race showed it all coming together. Strong, confident bike 🚴‍♂️ and a seriously impressive run 🏃‍♂️ to seal it - a new PR and a well-earned podium.
That confidence you felt? You earned every bit of it.

More to come 👊

Huge congratulations to Jacque on an incredible race and a new PR in a 5K - 1st in her age group out of 177 women 🥇 and top 10 overall out of 779 athletes 🏆 What a way to kick off the 2026 season 🔥

Watching this transformation has been something special. From setting a goal of completing a sprint to stepping up to the 70.3 distance (and beyond 👀) and now winning road races in highly competitive field. That kind of progression doesn’t happen overnight and it does not happen just physically.

It started with curiosity… How do I get faster? What do I need to do? And then the willingness to listen, do the work and test those limits. Jacque has learned when to back off and shake off a tough session, and when to lean in, push hard, and chase those numbers.

This is what happens when consistency meets courage. Can't wait to see what we can accomplish this season! ✨
