My goal for last Saturday’s Olympic Tri was to improve my cycling time. Last year I did the Sprint distance of this race, and wasn’t feeling that prepared and hadn’t been sticking to my training as much. My average speed was about 13.5 mph. . This year, the cycling course was 8 miles longer, and my average speed was 16.5 mph. Plus, I felt faster and much less fatigued, and even passed a few people which never happens on the cycle leg. . I attribute my performance to sticking to my @tridotsystem training plan. This was my first official race since starting that plan, and I was super excited to see my progress. . . . #triathlon #triathlete #runner #swimmer #cycling #run #tridotambassador #training #cyclinglife #cyclinggirl #tri #olympictriathlon #fitness #cardio #medalmonday #trilife (at Boulder, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/yesthatmaria/p/ByQCznNJXzW/?igshid=e41dzbsg3if0

Day 1, 2021 . Swim assessment with @coachjotridot & @s_cranson - a hard feat with only a couple of hours of sleep, a 6am wake up call & wind chill temps at close to freezing on a outdoor swim 🥶 . But, meeting these ladies and being accountable makes it a nonnegotiable for me. It wasn’t the most improved of swims but enough to increase my intensities in upcoming training days. . 2500M ☑️ and an awesome time with my teammates and coach/friends. Enjoyed laughing about how hard it was to get out of the pool and freezing together in a frenzy to change and warm up. 😂 . Can’t think of a better way to start the year. 🥰 . #doepicshit #gritandgrace #badassisbeautiful #iamtridot #tridotambassador #bettysquad2021 #swimday #roadtoironman #ironmantraining #imtx #bettysquad21 #beatyesterday #findyourfast #imtexas2021 #ironmantexas #imtx2021 #momof4 #fitover40 #thisis46 #latinatriathlete #womenfortri #momswhotri #swimbikerunrepeat #meagainstme #consistencyiskey (at Houston, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJiCtRyggsV/?igshid=b1umwpycoiem

Looking ahead to the New Year? Or counting down the workouts of 2020?Or maybe they both coincide with the new @bettydesigns drop?? 🤔🤩 . Monday 3000M 🏊🏼‍♀️ ☑️ . I was underfueled and undercaffeinated but I pushed the mental strength gears that I so badly need to sharpen. Went over my workout by 1000M to work on my stroke, pull, position, yadda yadda. Used fins for the first time towards the end and whoa! 😲 . I kept repeating to myself “don’t quit when you’re tired, quit when you’re done” over and over and I swear it propelled me to finish stronger than I began. . First assessment on the bike tomorrow. I’m kinda nervous! But I’ll be using that mantra again as FOR SURE! . So, with just a few days left in the year, how are you going to make the best of each and every one of them? #coachjojo #gritandgrace #justkeepswimming #antiquit #doepicshit #badassisbeautiful #disrupttheracecourse #bettysquad2021 #roadtoironman #imtx #ironmantexas2021 #imtx21 #swimbikerun #iamtridot #tridotambassador (at Houston, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJXbWt9AZqi/?igshid=15owemw6q7gdy

Tired and confused about the weather (what else is new?🤪) but I nailed my swim assessment & pushed that benchmark up (finally). . Two solid weeks of training! Hurray! Increased volume and still feeling good and all the training with friends is really making me look a whole more extroverted than I am. 🤣😂 . #introvertedAF #itsaprocess #bettysquad2020 #bettysquad2021 #everyoneisabetty #doepicshit #onceabettyalwaysabetty #badassisbeautiful #stylishaf #tridotambassador #tridottraining #swimbikerun #triathlontraining #houstonfitness #houstonblogger #momswhotri #fitover45 #latinatriathlete #swimday #justkeepswimming #ironmantraining #roadtoironman #imtx703 #imtx (at Houston, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGx90bWAxLk/?igshid=1oadyiy7628sx

This is becoming a weekly thing and I’m really loving it! The miles go by so much easier with these ladies and on the trails. . Missed the gator sightings this time but check out @cassietris & @cj_trimom posts to see the big 🐊 they saw! 😳 #trailrunning #motherrunners #triathlontraining #bettysquad2020 #bettysquad2021 #disrupttheracecourse #doepicshit #houstonrunning #tridotambassador #roadtoironman #imtx #imtx703 #halfironmantraining #ironmantri #badassisbeautiful (at Brazos Bend State Park - Texas Parks and Wildlife) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGwDwheAzRa/?igshid=175vjvf7tryn7

It was a good Sunday 🦋 . . Y’all know my training is not exactly going to plan lately. But I’ve been at the very least trying to keep my weekly rides in (and started up a strength program). . The weekly long ride I’ve turned into a race with myself each week. 30 miles is the distance and I try to beat the time of completion every week on the same trail. Every week, I’ve shaved off a few minutes and today I wanted to get as close to 1:50 as possible (1:56 is my PR thus far). Doesn’t seem fast but with unexpected stops and traffic on the trail, you just never know. . Today, the trail was completely under water. I tried another direction and it was closed. But some guy suggested an empty stretch of road North of the freeway so I went up and rode loops. Not very fun but I got it done. My watch then died at 22.68 miles 🤦🏻‍♀️ so I had to run the Strava app on my phone to make sure I got it 😂. I didn’t beat the time, I went over at 2:02 but with all the kids, loose dogs, walkers and bike trailers to pass, I’d say it’s alright. 😂 . The highlight of the day though was taking my little one down to cheer @jetjanie13 as she raced her first Ironman distance in honor of her dad ❤️ - got to aeee her along her first run loop and at the start of the second. She looked awesome! Spending time with @coachjotridot is always so fun and fills my heart, that was a highlight!! Love that girl! 🦋☠️❤️(btw, she rode the entire 112 bike distance with Jeanette. She’s so badass) . Hoping for an even keel week with no crazy 2020like 💩. Maybe, just maybe, I can get back on track and try running again. It’s been over 2 weeks! 😳 . Hope you all have a great week!! . #badassisbeautiful #doepicshit #bettysquad2020 #bettysquad #motivateandinspire #womensupportingwomen #womenfortri #swimbikerunrepeat #roadtoironman #tridotambassador #tridottraining #wearetridot #iamtridot (at George Bush Park Bike Trail) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFqmV_EgkxH/?igshid=lny1keic6wxk

What a week! 🤪 . 3rd week of virtual learning in the bag. 💪🏼👊🏼Things are running more smoothly and the littles are becoming more and more independent. . . I tabled strength training the first 2 weeks of school because there was just not enough hours in the day. I could not make it work but did manage all the Tri training on schedule. 😁 . Swipe for a week’s worth of training. ➡️➡️➡️➡️ . This week, my body told me it was not pleased with that decision. On Monday, I got my swim in late in the day after Labor day family fun. . I stacked my workouts on Tuesday, threshold ride and easy run, making them a brick. A strange sensation in my leg that I couldn’t pinpoint over the weekend reared it’s head after the run. So, I decided I’d put running on hold until I figured it out. Wednesday, I did strength training and realized it was #sciatica (not my first time) - a shooting but hard to pinpoint discomfort running from deep in the glute, down the hamstring and even the leg and foot. . Thursday, a super early and EPIC group ride with my @bettydesigns sisters which gave me super powers & energy the rest of the day. . And then today, where I forced myself to roll, yoga, stretch and massage with @therabody before getting out to the pool turned out to be a fabulous idea. Sciatica is at bay! Yay! . So weeee to the weekend and attempting the skipped run tomorrow 🤞🏼(lots of soccer to maneuver workouts with too!) ⚽️ . Have an awesome weekend all! Keep moving! 👊🏼💪🏼 #Badassisbeautiful #doepicshit #iamtridot #tridotambassador #triathlontraining #momof4 #strengthtraining #roadtoironman #swimbikerunrepeat #justkeepswimming🐠 #imtx703 #wahooligan #zwiftcycling #ironmantraining (at Houston, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFBmF41gzk0/?igshid=12t7phjz5i7c1

Don’t mind me...just laying on a wooden frying pan. 😳🔥 ... Took my easy run to explore the new Eastern Glades of Memorial Park that opened up this past weekend. So nice! I continued on a trail run and ended up with 5 miles under my belt...change of scenery was so welcome! Check it out if you can *not many points of my body are actually touching and those that did, did so for about 4 seconds. One and done. 😖 #hotasamf #memorialparkhouston #doepicshit #bettysquad2020 #tridotambassador #badassisbeautiful #triathlontraining #houstonrunning #easternglades #houstonfitness #houstonblogger #fitlatina #momof4 #thisis46 #fitfluential #easterngladesmemorialpark #thingstodoinhouston #houstontx #getoutside #outsideisbetter #runday #trailrunning #motherruner (at Eastern Glades, Memorial Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDfljfjgzOG/?igshid=11i8q815i84y5

✌🏼 . Happy Friday!✌🏼 . Ooh la la, I completed my first @letourdefrance virtual stage on @gozwift today! Stage 3 is flat and fast and I thought it was too cool to have the cheer squads on the side of the roads with their cowbells like in the real thing. Fun! . Training ride was 1:50 so I continued on beyond the 2 lap route and snagged extra jerseys as a result 🤪 Also got my 20 minute brick run in after the storm enjoying the “cool front”. Training is looking like it’s getting back on track. Though, I washed my hair so I’ll have hold out on the swim for a few days. 🤣 . . #virtualTdF #wahooligan #zwiftcycling #badassisbeautiful #doepicshit #bettysquad2020 #bettysquad #baller #playagreatgame #tridotambassador #iamttridot (at Spring Valley) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCwwIcIgJrB/?igshid=1avx5ut93k7hm

Head tilt to get another bead of sweat from coming into my eye. 😂 . It was soupy out there this afternoon but as per usual l felt incredible for getting it done. The endorphins, tho 😁 . Got a ride in too as well as a new ab challenge for the month (and a Glute one too, though I think I might switch it up some) . Let me know if you want to join in and have an accountability check. We can do it together! . #globalrunningday #accountabilitypartner #abchallenge #thankgoodnesstheplankchallengeisover #doepicshit #bettyballer #glutechallenge #endorphinjunkie #runhappy #triathlontraining #tritraining #iamtridot #tridotambassador #fitlatina #houstonfitspo #fitat46 #bettysquad #bettysquad2020 #momof4 #disrupttheracecourse #fitover45 #fitfluential #badassisbeautiful #roadtoironman #trimom #momswhotri #womenfortri #goaldigger (at Memorial) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBABwlTAYiG/?igshid=13ft4olq7dc84
