MY FIRST PROFESSIONAL TRIATHLON – Ironman 70.3 Oceanside

it's his first race as a professional and it's truly just a new sport [Music] Rowan yeah let me finish chewing Jenna and I are leaving for Southern California tomorrow and we're gonna spend a week down there leading up to Oceanside we wanted to take a minute to show you what our race setup is going to look like [Music] this wheel is the fastest wheel that Vision has made the Metron TFW disc wheel I know we mentioned this in our last video and on social media which you should follow by the way at freestyle try this year next we are sponsored by vision and FSA one of those things that we are just so freaking excited about especially as we get closer to races you know in Spaceballs where they're jumping to light speed prepare ship for light speed is too slow but then they're like we need to go to ludicrous we're gonna have to go right to Ludacris speed I personally have never even come close to riding a bike and riding Wheels real fast this light this Arrow the wheel that I took off is is Light Speed I'm putting this one on we're going to Ludacris classic oh seat belts see them all entrances and exits close all shots for them all cancel the three-ring circus let's draw all animals in the zoo Ludacris speed go all right [Music] it's gonna be the most fun bike ride of my life I can already tell what what do you want oh yeah that good stuff you want to say it's Friday it is it's the day before the race so it's a good time for some big day oats because a big day is a coming we got here like a week in advance [Music] I wanted to do it this way because it just alleviates a lot of stress she gets her own chair waking up the legs coach told me something yesterday whatever happens tomorrow whether it's positive or negative something good if I feel really good just be very neutral about everything that happens so expect boring Miguel from this point [Music] a couple days leading up to the race we spent some time in the Expo with Quintana Roo [Music] this is the best Expo I've ever been to [Music] lunch there's carbs carbs in four different forms I didn't want to got bored they have this service that anyone who has Quintana Roo you can just bring your bike into the tent and then we'll do a free like race tune-up and safety check on it [Music] flashback to last year of me sanding down my brake pads on asphalt the day before the race this is not pro yeah thank you [Music] [Applause] all right where are we going we're going to my first ever Pro meeting [Music] maybe someday I'll get that VIP Iron Man backstage pass all right your dad just got here with a special delivery yeah so we got some kits made by rule 28 2 for me and two for Jenna problem is they only sent the two kids for Jenna two women's extra small ones if it's really tight on your quads don't even try to get it up see how it goes it's just a little bit is it already tight on your oh no can you come over here and let us know what's happening [Music] my dear dear friend Isabel came all the way from Northern California we're not going to say that you're down here for others because my kit isn't here we have a blank one that does fit and we have some fabric pens too yeah the finest from Joann's Fabric so she's bleeding a little bit uh-oh it's gonna look like it's gonna look so bad I just don't want it to like bleed all over you so what's the motto tomorrow no bloody nipples and don't be a weenie and be like Steph Curry [Music] get to go swimming and biking and running we can do three amazing recreational activities and call it a profession why is everyone's so stuffy about it you should ask in the next person hey hey hey let's all be grateful race morning I forgot something at the Airbnb so everything was super rushed yeah so your very first race period I'll come find you I'll have my phone here we go stressful morning always that's why I don't think that it's only your fifth or sixth like you're still very new at this 2021 was the first time you ever did a 70.3 and so jumping into the pro field at this point like you're still learning everything thank you it's a risk for sure but I figure if you have the ability to do it which I I believe I do there's no harm in learning this way well he's really excited about his first pro poop so awesome [Music] swim was interesting because there were like 50 to 70 Pro males I was lined up on the far right [Music] foreign I lift my head up and kind of like look around to see what else is going on we are just way off course we are not taking the right line they're taking the right line when you run once we kind of like hit the main group I was just working my way up the field [Music] [Applause] no way I could reach the front pack if I have started next to them I could have been up there but not this time [Music] I came out of the water 10th onto the bike with a pack of like at least six people it's good that's good I recognize very few triathletes but I recognize Andy Potts he's with Andy Potts and Andre Lopez the unfortunate part about all of this the beginning of the bike course was like super bumpy not like mile 15 I look at my shadow and I realized that my two bottle cages in the back which have all of my nutrition I do concentrated bottles my bottle cages were empty so all I had was front hydration and then nothing else holding on at 15. the 39 mile marker brunch soon he said he's gonna be done boyvo Rancheros ASAP no one stop sending stations so if you slow down for an aid station you're gonna get dropped or you have to work really hard to catch us yeah I'm like shaking because it's also so cold here right now the first aid station my hands were completely Frozen so I couldn't grab anything it's just at 100 miles per hour you have to stay mentally engaged the entire time the second aid station 30 something miles in managed to like grab onto a bottle had to slow way down and fight really hard to catch back up to the group [Music] slowing down catching up slowing down again takes a toll especially when you don't have your designed nutrition yeah okay talk later it's all good first cyclist just came in film long out on the Run first but Miguel is coming in in like two or three minutes it felt good until it didn't and then I bonked because they didn't have the nutrition that I needed holding on at around 15 and I'm really excited to see where you come where he comes and then I kind of just soft pedaled the last 10 miles come on Miguel where are you I didn't want to end up walking the last half of the run or did [Music] it I was nervous [Music] [Applause] [Music] it's looking solid at the beginning of his run wearing his flashy new kit that has absolutely nothing on it it's his first race as a professional and it's truly just a new sport I am proud of him no matter what and he's honestly he's just doing so so well I just wanted to be consistent and started out at like six flat Pace he is and 23rd at 2.2 miles he's finding his run legs and yeah we'll see what happens I know I'm capable of going a lot faster but I know why I didn't go faster [Music] thank you [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] he's running with somebody so he has some company he's around 24th or 25th right now at Mile six there's a lot of people that are coming up to me and saying hi just to everybody thank you so much and for cheering from God every single cheer means so much [Music] yeah that's the hell that I was talking about you see the Finish Line right in front of you and then they'll like second lap this way this way [Music] [Applause] the slowest I came to is like 6 20 6 25 pace which I'm happy about considering all the adversity I had to face [Music] thank you I'm happy with the effort that I put out the consistency I do belong there and the more I do the more I'm Gonna Learn [Music] foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] he looked like he was in a lot of pain at the end I will say that these toes what the hell is that about one of the big questions on Instagram was about your feet you posted a picture of your bloody relationships you can still kind of see if there's a little bit of steamage here oh it'll be in the video oh my God my stupidity that caused it dismounting from my bike running in the t2 and I tripped over my pedal or my bike just sliced the top of the big toe in like the middle of the second biggest it was much better your toenail may be awesome at least I don't have plantar fasciitis we're joking that like everyone is so serious here I almost felt like a kid again this is what I get to do ew your bike is disgusting [Music] we're out here at uh Carlsbad doing a little photo shoot with Quintana real oh [Music] [Music] this race I was treating myself with respect and joy and I think that starts with just like how I went into the race with an open mind and just planning to have fun no matter what happens [Music] thank you [Music] that's how the pros do it I see
