I needed another post about my past race- Ironman 70.3 World Championship.

When I got back on my bike after my brake pinching my front tire for the first 8 miles and then waiting 20 min for the bike mechanic, I thought about how I was going to finish my race. I could’ve easily given up. My legs were already cooked, mosttt girls already passed me, what was the point?

Well first, I do this for ME. Not validation from anyone else. I don’t need to place top 10, I don’t need to qualify for another worlds, I don’t need to get X time or prove myself to anyone. I do these races to push MYSELF and see what I can accomplish mentally and physically.

Second-I read something somewhere that said 99% of your life is about the journey, not actually the destination. If you don’t enjoy the journey, you’re going to live 99% of your life unhappy. So, this was the race- the destination. And guess what? The races are amazing but there is also so much time, energy, build up to it, and it’s a race, there is a lot of pressure when it comes to actual race day! So, I have remembered this quote and chosen to make sure I am enjoying the JOURNEY of training. The end result, this race, is already the accomplishment of all the training. Not how well I do.

Lastly- I’m not someone who quits. Why would I when I wasn’t even hurt? I was perfectly able to keep going, so I was going to give it my best given my circumstances. (Behind where I ā€œshould’veā€ been by 30+ minutes). I know, and those who read my race recap know, I places where I did because of a bike mechanical issue. But guess what? No one cares where you place anyways. So give it your best shot, you already made it this far, and how freaken cool is it racing in New Zealand at the Ironman 70.3 world championship?!! I’ve never been a quitter and wasn’t about to start now, so proud of myself for staying strong mentally and pulling together a hell of a race even given a major bike setback. šŸ’ŖšŸ¼

My first 70.3 Ironman World Championship!!

What an experience. These girls are BEASTS and it was so fun racing with them.

Swim- such beautiful crystal clear water! I thought it was mass start- all 200+ of us in my age group, thankfully it was 10 of us every 3 seconds. I felt pretty good and strong, found a lot of good feet I hung on to. How I placed it the swim- still not great and this is for sure my weakest! Thankfully it’s also the shortest.

Bike- as I’m leaving transition my bike felt hard to push, I checked the tires again, they were good, so I went on my way. The first 8 miles were hell. 3 miles in I was already being passed by everyone and seriously already thought there’s no way I’m finishing the race today. I didn’t know what could be wrong with my bike since I checked the tires but I felt like something was wrong and I wasn’t just that slow.. I yelled at volunteers for a bike mechanic but didn’t want to stop and wait for one. By mile 8 I was really cooking my legs and had to stop. My front brakes were pinching my tire.. I sat there and waited 20 min for the bike mechanic. As soon as that was fixed I tried to make up as much ground as I could but I knew I was already far behind and my legs were pretty spent from those hard first 8 miles.

Run- when I started I was concernedddd because my legs felt like trash. I just didn’t think about the distance or my pace and just went one foot in front of the other. Thankfully my pace stayed around 8 min miles! It was hottt out there and my stomach wasn’t awesome but I drank coke, electrolytes, and sometimes water at just about every aid station. I dumped myself with ice and water too.

Overall- very happy and proud of my performance. Would it have been my best race without bike issues? Maybe, maybe not. But I still put together a hell of a day, and mentally-more proud of myself than anything for not giving up.

Today we enjoyed a stroll to the beach and enjoyed laying in the sun doing nothing. No service, nothing to do but just be with the ocean, sand, and sun. Grounding in nature is so important and healing. ā˜€ļøšŸ˜Œ

It’s me, in MalĆ”ga, Spain for the World Championship with Team USA. Females 25-30 standard distance. If you would’ve asked 14 year old Brooke if this is where I’d be, I would’ve said, well maybe but probably not šŸ˜‚ I’ve always been confident in my athletic abilities (why should we shy away from that for ourselves?!) but I did NOT care at all about triathlons when my parents threw me in them when I was 14 while my mom was racing competitively. I did really well for never training but I was 14 and there was no one my age to race against. I had ideas of many other athletic things I thought I would chose before triathlons..

A story for another time, cause here I am here racing in triathlons, absolutely loving it and am HARD dedicated wanting to achieve all the things and do all the races I can. Little did I know I would be achieving some pretty awesome feats I had no idea even existed 2 years ago, this early into dedicated triathlon training.

Me and 7 other girls from USA, will be racing against 46 other women from 17 country’s. What. An. Experience.

Do I feel ready? Not as well as I would like, but I guess that’s semi normal. This past year has been a lot. From taking 4 months off of working out at all due to health reasons, to getting back into training, crushing some races, to recent injuries, travel, a move, new job, and wedding two weeks ago- my body has been EXHAUSTED the past few months. My training is really not in an amazing spot but I’ve been working hard for a year and a half so I didn’t necessarily lose it all.

Regardless, I’m here for this experience. To represent Team USA, give it my best, and enjoy every minute of being able to compete at this WORLD event.

Prayers for all the racers to stay safe. Thank you for everyone cheering me on from afar, I am so excited to race in the Team USA kit for the first time on Saturday. šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø
