Took on my first DEKA FIT of the year in NC this weekend! The main point of racing Carolinas was to get a baseline for the rest of this season. Find the weaknesses and be able to give markus_frison feedback for this upcoming training block. We found 'em. 🎿🚲 #TheFrisonMethod

This race was the third of a back-to-back-to-back race stint. I loved every second of it. The race itself was fast and as per usual, I took out hot. I wrote down "execute 1-7, drop the hammer 8-10." That was how I tackled the race. I felt smooth on my runs and held solid 500m splits with no drop. Coming off of the bike I felt strong. That's always a good feeling. Time to turn up and get it done. My zone work needs some fine-tuning but overall am pleased with how it went from an execution and effort standpoint. 

In my race recaps I frequently use the words "effort" and "execution." This is because the results of a race don't paint the full picture. You can run phenomenally and lose; you can run poorly and win. Sports are unpredictable and variable. All you can control how you E.A.T. (effort, attitude, and toughness). Those are the measurable I take away from my races. 🍽️ 

I was able to squeak out a 17s PR off of last years WC run. I managed to claim my first Triple 1's race finishing 1st Age Group, 1st Gender, and 1st Overall. DEKA season is in full swing now and I am pumped keep to workin'. As a collective, the dawgs snagged another five podiums. Surprised? not one bit. Proud? oh, yeah. #UnderdogFitness babyyyyy!

Another successful race weekend in the books. Another city & state checked off the list. samimich17 said it perfectly: "Love this life! The places it takes me, the people it introduces me to, and the limits is pushes me past are irreplaceable. If I could smile any bigger, I would!" 🤟🏼

My Nana's auxillary firefighter badge number was 1317. At my 13th DEKA event, I PR'd by 17s. I had no clue at the time but had you by my side. Rest peacefully, Nana. 👼🏼
