Good day in the Lab.

We dropped some VO2 max intervals early, then came back later with the over-unders.

Some athletes are racing.
Some are still building for the long haul.
All of us are learning, grinding, and getting one day closer to race day.

Another day of work.
Another day of gains.
Another day closer.

Work got done.

🎉 HUGE CONGRATULATIONS TO AL COUTURE!!! 🎉

On May 30, 2026, Alan Couture accomplished something many people only talk about doing… he completed his very first triathlon!

What makes this even more impressive is the journey that got him here.

Just a year ago, in 2025, Al was working through some significant knee challenges. Many people would have used that as a reason to sit on the sidelines. Al chose a different path.

He committed to the process.

The first big step was signing up for Walloon Lake Triathlon . (Ryan, the race director for TriWalloon was also racing, pictured here with beard) In triathlon, that’s when the dream becomes real. Until you register, it’s just wishful thinking. Once you sign up, the journey begins.

But Al wasn’t content to wait.

Excited and motivated, he added Tri Greenville Triathlon to the schedule and suddenly it was game on.

He arrived in Greenville the day before the race, checked out the course, saw the 74° water temperature, and was ready for the adventure ahead.

Race morning, Al showed up to transition excited and prepared. Was greeted by Kurt, Glenn, Jenn and Marilyn. He approached the swim wisely, following the advice of Coach K and swim coach Larry, and it paid off perfectly.

Then came the bike.

Al absolutely crushed it.

Rolling into T2 with a huge smile on his face, he headed out onto the run, laughing, joking with volunteers, and soaking in every moment of the experience.

And when he crossed that finish line?

That smile was even bigger.

In his later 60s, Al proved something important:

Age is not the limitation.

Doubt is.

Anything is possible when you’re willing to take the first step and keep showing up.

Congratulations, Al! We hope you’re enjoying a well-earned recovery day today.

And one more thing…

👀 Watch out, Walloon.

Al is coming for you.

While a whole lot of our friends were over at Bayshore chasing finish lines, we were in the Lab putting in our own kind of work.

4:30 a.m. crew showed up early and got after it.
The big mission: 50 miles on the bike + a 5-mile run.

That is not a small morning. That is the kind of brick that builds patience, confidence, and the ability to keep moving when the day gets long.

Strong bike. Strong run. Strong crew.

We missed being out there cheering at Bayshore, but huge congratulations to every runner who crossed the line this weekend — first-timers, experienced racers, and everyone in between. Getting to the finish line matters, and we see you.

Great morning. Great brick. Great kickoff to Memorial Weekend.

Work got done.
