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

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

Got by with the help of alllllllll my friends. . Thank you all for the love, support and kindness during a scary time. . We now have a “Covid19 Survivor” in the house 👊🏼💪🏼 - Team V put up a good fight ❤️ - but we didn’t do it alone. . Every message, call, card, bag of groceries, meal, gift baskets for the kids, flowers to brighten our house, Zoom call, run of errands, baked treats, offer to help, prayer, virtual hug...it all got us through. Thank you! ❤️ #stayhome #bettertogetherevenwhenapart 🤗🥰 ***slowly getting back to regular workouts. The group @bettydesigns @gozwift rides have been the most motivating and easiest to jump on - I can always count on laughs, encouragement and company. And it’s on my calendar. I have also signed up for the virtual races and challenges to keep the 🔥 under my 🍑 lit. . I officially decided to race the postponed #imtx703 to the rescheduled November date and will be moving my IM goals to 2021. Because trying to keep it as “class of 2020” is just asking for trouble at this point. 🙄 . Next week, I plan to get back on my #tridottraining plan and oh btw, in the middle of all of this I became a #tridotambassador 😳 So yay! . Looking forward to connecting with more of this community of badass athletes. I know I’m in amazing company. ❤️ (at Spring Valley, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-zvA05gmB_/?igshid=1ly3sgst4omzs
