✨ Medal Monday ✨
Kristen had herself a DAY at the SOS Triathlon.
10th female overall.
1st in her age group.
And she won every single swim segment.
But as impressive as those results are, what we are most proud of is how she raced.
Kristen went in with no expectations. Her only intention was to show up and approach each leg as it came.
And she did exactly that.
She swam like a beast. She fueled. She stayed hydrated. No cramps. She smiled. A lot. And she just kept moving forward.
She called her proudest accomplishment her consistency throughout the race.
“I just kept going. Endless reserve.”
That reserve didn’t come from nowhere.
It came from the work.
The training. The consistency. The days that didn’t feel like training. The work that was building something deeper than fitness.
And then there was the racing.
Late in the final run, another athlete passed her on the last uphill. Kristen caught her on the downhill and they arrived at the next swim together.
The other athlete stopped to take her shoes off.
Kristen looked at the moment and made a decision.
Don’t think. Just go.
She jumped in with her shoes on.
Was swimming with shoes annoying? Absolutely. 😂
Was it worth it? Absolutely.
She trusted what she was feeling, made the decision in the moment, and went for it.
This is one of the things I love about racing.
You can have a plan. You can train for months. You can prepare the body and the mind.
And then race day gives you something you couldn’t have planned for.
What do you do with it?
Kristen showed us.
Stay present.
Stay curious.
Trust the work.
Keep going.
That’s performance.
And that’s why we race.
Congratulations Kristen. You earned every bit of this one. 🔥
