📣📣 FIRST TRIATHLON FINISH FOR DIANA C!! 📣📣

Diana earned her stripes this past weekend at the Tarpon Springs Triathlon.

She came out to a swim clinic this past spring to see what this whole open water thing was all about — and shared that she was finding her way back after a running injury sidelined her. She left that morning wondering if she could, in fact, do a sprint triathlon. (BABE should come with a warning label — we can and will convince you that you can do hard sh*t AND have fun at the same time.)

While navigating an incredibly demanding season in her professional career and her own health journey, she freaking SHOWED UP. It may not have always looked textbook, and there were moments where it felt like she wasn't moving forward — but she has constantly awed me with her grit and tenacity to keep pushing toward her dream.

Diana rocked her first multisport event ever after just 8 weeks of focused training at the in June, then moved into a 12-week block to prepare for Tarpon Springs. Her swimming has improved dramatically, she found comfort on a road bike, and had a pain-free return to running — all in just a few months.

The most meaningful accomplishment from my perspective though is not any of those tangible wins, or even the finish line moment in this photo.

What I witnessed was Diana actively making structural changes to her days to hold space for herself — for her health, her dreams, her well-being. To make time for the things that bring her joy. To recognize that she is, in fact, someone who does hard sh*t with the most beautiful smile and an even more gorgeous heart. And she's brought more women into the fold along the way.

It's a privilege to support you, Diana, and such a joy to know you. Congratulations on an incredible journey to the start line. We are wildly proud of you, BABE!

The 2026 Swim for Alligator Lighthouse was one for the record books. This 8 mile open water swim race in Islamorada (FL Keys) is billed as one of the most challenging endurance events globally — and with good reason.

This year’s edition delivered challenge in good measure with 2-3 foot seas, a head current the entire way, and a healthy serving of jellyfish.

In equal parts is the lore of this incredible place — a historic 153-year-old lighthouse 4 miles due south of the key — with the most incredible community of swimmers and native “Conchs” (FL Keys natives) who are fighting to restore it. The swim is a huge boost to these fundraising efforts.

This was my fourth year participating, my first year not as a swimmer but as a kayaker for one of our solo BABEs.

I am so, so proud at the effort that all our solo and relay athletes put forth this year. If you’re interested in undertaking this event next year, stay tuned for a chat next week. I’ll share some thoughts on the race, how to prepare, and the best format to race in.

Congratulations and massive thanks to Salty Sports Society l Open Water Swimming Swim for Alligator Lighthouse and all the athletes, staff, and volunteers for another amazing experience.

BABE SPOTLIGHT // STEPH KO 🌺

Last weekend Steph raced the Mighty Mississinewa half iron distance tri in Indiana — and came home with 2nd Overall Female.

Impressive for sure, but there’s so much more in the back story that makes this one remarkable.

Steph has been moving through one of the heaviest years — losing her dad earlier this year — all while navigating a work travel schedule that puts her easily in the top two most-traveled BABEs on the roster. We’ve kept training nimble, used local races as training opportunities, and leaned hard into the joy of just being able to do this.

In Steph’s own words:

“This was a comeback swim for me — after AZ I’ve had a lot of stress in the water and this race let me come back to that meditative mermaid power. I came out of the water giving myself a thumbs up.”

“The bike was progress — learned to ride in a downpour... when two guys walked out of the woods with .22 ri**es and me thinking literally how did I find this race and where tf am I 🫈”

“My face finishing lap 1 of the run says how I was feeling — and then realizing at the start of lap 2 that I might as well visit the well to get a tball trophy at a middle of nowhere race.”

“This wasn’t close to a PB time, but I’d say I had two PB segments with the swim and rainy ride — and that’s pretty special and why I kept on for lap two and that trophy.”

“I know my dad would’ve loved hearing all the stories from this day. It felt like he was fishing alongside me swimming, hunting while I was riding, and then telling me all about the swamp I ran through.”

Steph, we are so f*cking proud of you. And I know your dad is, too. 🌺 Congrats, BABE.

And yes, I know it's actually Tuesday.

But hear me out -- if you do this sh*t long enough, you're going to have a DNF. You're gonna have a DNS.

And it doesn't make you less of an athlete.

It makes you a well seasoned one.
It makes you a humble one.
It makes you a gracious one.
And it makes you a wise one.

So what may feel like a loss -- or even a failure -- in the moment, may actually be one of the biggest gains that you have in your entire athletic career.

If you recently DNFed, DNSed, or just didn't have the race you hoped for --

I hope you know that your worth is not defined by your finish lines.

Give yourself 24 hours to feel whatever kind of way about it.
Do the post-race download.
Pick out the parts where there's a takeaway.
And just keep moving.

Because isn't that what endurance is all about?

Onward, BABE.

PS - What's been your most spectacular DNS/DNF? What did you learn from it? Let's do a glow up in the comments.
