Haven’t posted much here in a while. Last weekend my wife and I raced another HYROX mixed doubles. We finished about 4 minutes faster than our last race. These days, training and performance is less about having unlimited time to train and more about figuring out how to keep progressing while raising two kids and working full-time. That means being more intentional. Train hard. Recover well. Use the time you have. Stay consistent. As a former Division I and professional athlete, I still want to feel like a beast, compete, and see how fast I can get. I also want to stay strong, fit, healthy, and capable and a role model for my kids. That’s the lane I’m in right now. More to come.
