HealthyEyes365 The life of two optometrist balancing fitness goals and family

The amount of fails that lead to this point were numerous, but the amount of times I gave up were zero.

An IRONMAN Triathlon podium was always a goal but not one I thought would happen.

The only thing between me and that podium though was hard work and commitment.

I put my head down and grinded out workout after workout.

And this time at Omaha 70.3 I was awarded for all the work

Now time for the big boy podium at a full IRONMAN Americas event!

Similar volume, slightly more intensity

12-15 hrs a week of training is really the max that I can somewhat comfortably fit in my week. Between kids schedules and work this seems to be my sweet spot.

Just training and having fun with the family!

Shhhh don’t tell my wife

Wish I got it out on the road more but this thing has not disappointed in any of the races this year.

I just need to keep putting in the work to pay it justice 💪🏼💪🏼

Training for an IRONMAN isn’t about finding more time. It’s about making the time count. 🏊‍♂️🚴‍♂️🏃

Show up consistently, train smart, recover hard, and keep moving forward.

Because the finish line is one thing…
showing my kids what commitment looks like is another.

No excuses. Just reps. 💪

The hours when the house is quiet and I get my time to myself.

Start the day with movement
Do something hard
Begin with a win

It all starts now!
Week 1 done and dusted.

Big goals for 2027!
2026 didn’t play out as expected.
2 solid 70.3s (Texas and Omaha) but a DNF due to injury at Ironman Jacksonville.

I planned to race this fall but needed to wait on my kids schedules and by that time everything I could make work was sold out.

That’s life

The sights are now set on 2027.
Goals:
⚡️qualify for 2027 70.3 WC in Chattanooga
⚡️qualify for 2028 IM WC (This is part of a bigger
plan)

Roughly 6 months out from my next big race. Goal is to keep progressing on the bike. Made huge gains this year on the bike already. Also need to get back some run speed and durability too.
