Well… this post was supposed to look a little different.
June 2018. My last Spartan race & One week later, I became a dad.
This weekend — 8 years and 4 kids later — I was supposed to step back onto a Spartan course and take on the Hawaii Trifecta (3 races, 2 days).
Unfortunately, Hurricane Lala had other plans, and the race was cancelled.
Definitely a bummer. I’ve spent months training for this weekend and was excited to see what I could do.
But 8 years after this picture, I still get to show my kids that setting hard goals and chasing something that scares you is worth doing — even when it doesn’t end exactly how you planned.
So, no Trifecta this weekend.
But the next challenge is already waiting.
HYROX in October.
And this one has an even bigger purpose. I’m racing in support of IMPACT and mental health.
So instead of asking you to follow along with my Spartan weekend, I’m asking for something different:
10 people. $10 each. $100 toward something that matters.
Because if there’s one lesson worth carrying forward from all of this, it’s this:
We can’t control everything life puts in front of us. But we can keep showing up!
If 10 people want to jump in with me, I’d be incredibly grateful!

The race got cancelled.
The work didn’t.
On to the next one. 🤙
