Shane Kayser - Fitness Coach

Well… this post was supposed to look a little different.

June 2018. My last Spartan race & One week later, I became a dad.

This weekend — 8 years and 4 kids later — I was supposed to step back onto a Spartan course and take on the Hawaii Trifecta (3 races, 2 days).

Unfortunately, Hurricane Lala had other plans, and the race was cancelled.

Definitely a bummer. I’ve spent months training for this weekend and was excited to see what I could do.

But 8 years after this picture, I still get to show my kids that setting hard goals and chasing something that scares you is worth doing — even when it doesn’t end exactly how you planned.

So, no Trifecta this weekend.

But the next challenge is already waiting.

HYROX in October.

And this one has an even bigger purpose. I’m racing in support of IMPACT and mental health.

So instead of asking you to follow along with my Spartan weekend, I’m asking for something different:

10 people. $10 each. $100 toward something that matters.

Because if there’s one lesson worth carrying forward from all of this, it’s this:

We can’t control everything life puts in front of us. But we can keep showing up!

If 10 people want to jump in with me, I’d be incredibly grateful!

The race got cancelled.
The work didn’t.
On to the next one. 🤙

30 days. 99 days.

Two finish lines. Two completely different challenges.

🏝️ 30 days until the Spartan Hawaii Trifecta
🔥 99 days until HYROX Tampa Pro

One race will test grit on mountains, trails, and obstacles and the other will demand speed, strength, and precision for 8 rounds.

This year has already been full of early mornings, long runs, sore legs, and plenty of workouts that didn’t go as planned. But that’s the point.. this training cycle I’m learning more than ever that progress isn’t built on perfect sessions or weeks, rather consistency and understanding your body.

Thanks all for the support thus far!

Leveling up in October!
Will yet again be Racing for Impact to support Mental Wellness - more to come on that soon!

Bc why not do an impromptu event this weekend while in Indiana!

Thank you all for the birthday wishes and for supporting my recent races in Houston!

With a goal of raising $400 for HYROX mental health fund, I’m proud to say we doubled it by raising $846! Great to know that all the training and effort towards the race also went towards a great cause.

Secondly, with a goal of beating my first race time at 1:34, I’m stoked to have finished at 1:25! Wasn’t sure it would be possible with all the sickness and travel the first few months of the year.

Thank you again to everyone who either donated or cheered me on in this adventure! On to the next!
