When you think to yourself: I don’t think I’m ready. I don’t think I’m on the level I need to be... . “Today you woke up this morning on the right level, because the sun is on your face and not on your grave!” - @coach_pain

How was your race weekend?? . . I had a few goals this weekend. 1. Complete the Palmerton Super in under last years time of 3:43 - Ended up finishing at 3:06 . 2. Complete the 10k trail race in the top ten in my AG - Ended up finishing in 8th place . 3. Conquer the dreaded Ape Hanger obstacle for the 3rd year in a row - Ended up completing every obstacle except for that damn spear! . . Happy with my performance this weekend. Hoping to build on that and continue with the obstacle success at Bonefrog Washington this weekend! . . Thanks to @bryants804 for the 🎥

#TBT Palmerton 2018 Who’s ready for Blue Mountain?? . . So many fun things about this race. First, for me it’s my local race, so I always look forward to it every year! Plus I love the Ape Hanger obstacle, and I plan on making my one shot at it count!! Also, it’s such a tough but beautiful venue. . . Looking forward to seeing everyone this weekend. I’ll be doing all 3 races as part of my #DaMENACETrifectaWeekend. Also I’ll be at Open House on Friday. Make sure you say hi!

💥#MODeMonday💥 . What do you use to stay hydrated before, during, and after your races? . . All racers need hydration, no matter their fitness level. Hydration helps keep athletes going and performing at their best, by helping to maintain their core body temperature and maintaining blood volume. . . Most sports drinks contain too much sugar. So I’ve been using MODe electrolyte hydration before all of my races. . . Here’s why: Only has 9g of cane sugar, products such as Gatorade has 20g-30g of sugar/ serving - Healthier Gatorade- no blue tongue! Products are clear-- meant to be light, like water. Last thing you want after hours of a grueling workout is something sweet. - Betaine helps athletes better metabolize proteins and carbs-- which means the foods you are eating are being better used to give you more energy-- no one else puts this in their hydration powders! . . If you want to try some out, check out myfitmode.com and use code TEST20 on your first order. Also if you’re going to be at the Palmerton Spartan Race this weekend, I will have samples, so come find me! Can’t miss the orange headband!! 🦁👍🏽👍🏽

Are you able to enjoy your struggles?? 🤔 . . My goal today was to get some heavy carries in at Blue Mountain. I had my 25lb weight vest and a 50lb sandbag and I was going to carry them through the entire Blue Burn Trail. . . I knew it would’ve been hard, but it was even harder than I thought. There were times I put the sandbag down, turned around and just stared at the view from the mountain. . . I was hoping to be able to do it in a little over 2 hours, but I ended up at 3. The downhill on the back of the mountain slowed me down a lot. Didn’t want to twist an ankle this close to race day. . . Today was a struggle and shows I have a lot of work to do when it comes to heavy carries. But I’m glad I put in the work. Just gotta keep building on that. 🦁👍🏽👍🏽
