Stop looking at not winning as failure.

More than a decade ago, I decided to become an entrepreneur. Not because I know what is best. Not because I want to get rich. But because I wanted to have no one else to blame.

When you are your own boss, the buck stops with you. If you don't win, it's on you. If you see it as a failure, you quit. If you see it as a lesson, you grow.

As a man of God, I understand that many things in this life will test me. And I also understand that my response to it is a testimony to others. When I don't win, that's on me. When I do win, that's on God. When you live life this way, it's hard to ever fail.

I finally did it! I caught the unicorn! After years and years of work.

I knew a VO2 max of 60 was attainable but I've never seen it in person!

I included the last two graphs to put hard work into perspective. All most people ever see is the end result. There's nothing more frustrating than hearing people say "it's easy for you." Those people don't see all the work behind the scenes. They see that one moment of glory.

It took 6 months to go from 57 to 60. Following a plan to a T. Eating like an athlete. One missed workout in 180 days due to injury. Several that were modified. Dozens of days where I didn't want to. But I did it anyway and consistency paid off.

The one graph shows the change over 3 months and the last one shows the change over 6 months. That's what real change looks like. That's what we mean when we say it's a lifestyle. It's what I mean when I say that I may get beaten but I'll never be out worked.

The cherry on top? Garmin told me to take 36 hours of rest and tomorrow is Easter🙌✝️

Thrilled with this solid race. Not my best but a strong effort when I've been so out of it lately. MUCH better than expected! 21 sec out of 1st OA Masters (and less than 1 sec from that podium) neck and neck work my boys. They pushed me hard and I stumbled and made a costly mistake. Can't do that with these guys! Still snagged a 1st place age group spot along with my dad!

Super proud of the Empower Training Systems team (emPowered OCR) and team Bonefrog!

Overall absolutely stoked with the outcome and definitely felt the love of my OCR family. Thanks to Savage Race for another great experience!

Hope to see you all at Bonefrog on September 2nd! 🪓🐸

There's one metric I look to coming out of the off-season and headed into another race season it's this one...

Why not pace? Because even though I'm currently running 10 to 15 seconds per mile quicker than predicted, I'll never be fast enough to win a pure foot race. Thankfully I recognized that years ago. My ability to grind, to go deep into the pain cave and stay there, that's what works for me.

Looking forward to throwing down with you all soon!

Medal Monday.

Does this count?! The March men presented well this weekend! I took home the Air National Guard Athlete of the Year Award while my dad did his thing down at Savage Florida! 100% completion yet again for this 69 years young fella.

We love a good challenge! Have a great week everyone!
