Documenting my journey in this thing we call life. I currently just signed up for an Ironman with very little experience with triathlons and those events. I'll be documenting and sharing my experiences as the months go on, leading up to my first Ironman.
My original goal with this channel:
Over the years I have become obsessed with bettering myself and helping those around me excel in life. Whether that is self-growth and development, fitness, financially, positivity, and other factors that will improve your well-being. When I see other people succeed with change and live a more positive life, it gives me a great sense of fulfillment.
My goal is to help give you tips & tricks that I have learned along the way through my failures and successes and I hope that I can help you achieve a better life, however, that is for you!

Reflecting Back on My Journey to Becoming An Ironman
Over the last 10 months, I've dedicated countless hours to training, going from no experience to doing my first Ironman.
The journey's coming to an end and figured it would be a nice opportunity to reflect on the journey and see how far I've come.
We often aren't able to see the progress we make in life when we look at it daily, that's why reflecting can be a good thing.
It's pretty crazy just how far I've come in under 10 months of training, going from barely knowing how to swim, not owning a bike, and improving my run.
It's been a great journey so far, looking forward to how my Ironman goes, and what I plan on doing in the future.
If I had to say anything if you're on the fence to doing an Ironman or really anything, just do it. You'll learn how to do it along the way. You'll never be in that spot where you're completely ready. Giving yourself that deadline forces you to make it happen and learn. That has been a big lesson signing up taught me.
I want to thank everyone who has tuned in on this journey and appreciate all of the support.

1 Week Out From My First Triathlon: Ironman Lake Placid
zhlédnutí 165Před měsícem
After approximately 10 months (mainly 4-6 months) of giving my training everything I could, I'm now just a week out from my first triathlon, which is Ironman Lake Placid. I've finalized all my gear, got my new helmet, and race day shoes, and just bought a new wheelset, so I'm all prepped and ready for race day! I would say that I had three stages in my training block. The first 4 months were ju...
I Almost Ruined My Ironman Chances Because of This
zhlédnutí 204Před měsícem
I'm going from no experience to completing an Ironman and recently decided to listen to my body. It's terrible timing and I didn't anticipate, nor want to make this video, but over the last week or so I have been dealing with some soreness in my knee. I normally run through the pain but being only a few weeks out from my Ironman, after training nearly every day for the last 8 months, I figured ...
Ironman Race Rehearsal Prep: Bike/Run Workout

Less than a month till my first Ironman, going from no experience to competing in Ironman Lake Placid. This week on the training plan I had a race rehearsal bike ride and a race rehearsal run off-the-bike. This would give me a really good idea of where I currently sit and what I can expect. I was to practice race day nutrition, aim for the same terrain, and decided to wear my race day fit. For ...
Testing Wetsuits to See Which Is Best: Roka Vs. Sumarpo
zhlédnutí 95Před měsícem
I recently got a new wetsuit from Sumarpo and decided to put it to the test against my Roka wetsuit. My Ironman is a month away and want to put up the best possible time, and wearing the best possible wetsuit that makes me the fastest is the goal. If I'm able to gain seconds, if not minutes in a different wetsuit, that could be a big difference overall. I decided this would be a good test to se...
First 100 Mile Bike Ride During Ironman Training
zhlédnutí 1KPřed 2 měsíci
My peak training is here and with that, means my first 100-mile ride in my journey from no experience to completing an Ironman! I wasn't guaranteed to hit 100 on this ride as it was time-based, but based on my previous sessions, I had a pretty good idea of where I would be at. Felt good on this ride and the rides I've had since. It's wild to look at how far I've come from when I first started o...
My First Recovery Week In Ironman Prep
zhlédnutí 85Před 2 měsíci
On my road going from no experience to doing an Ironman, before I had a training program, and while I was in Tucson, I didn't prioritize recovery days or weeks. I would just go out hard every day and try to get as much volume as possible and toward the end of my trip, I could really tell me legs were starting to get tired. Now with my new coach and training program, there are recovery weeks bui...
How Much I Spent Training For An Ironman in Tucson
zhlédnutí 100Před 2 měsíci
During the winter, I decided to make an impulse decision and move to Tucson, Arizona to train for my Ironman. The main goal was to train as much as possible outside while I was there and get to experience living somewhere else - which I would say I achieved. Over my time there, I decided it would be interesting if I kept track of all my expenses to see exactly how much this trip cost me. This i...

Garmin is a fantastic fitness watch and an ok smartwatch. Apple Watch Ultra is a fantastic smartwatch and an ok fitness watch
Yeah, I believe that's a pretty good comparison. I rarely use the watch for the smart features.
Hey, loved the way you presented🙌! I'm not really sure if it is the best time to ask but, I was wondering if I could help you create a better distribution by working on post-production like better storytelling through Edits, Keywords, think catchy intros and outros, or even some engaging short clips! Would love to chat if you're interested and keep creating good content:)
Ive got a fenix 7 pro solar and i absolutely love it. So much customization and features. I've tracked tons of things and taken it in many different environments. Been in salt water on numerous occassions, pools etc and it did not have one hiccup. Ive actually found the HRS to be very accurate, along with the body battery and sleep mode. Absolutely banger of a watch!
Could have made your mission of getting the watch much easier just by using Google to search for local sellers. Tells ya if anyone local has what you want.
I didn’t chew my Apple ultra 2 months ago for the Garmin fenix 7 47mm sapphire solar & I’ll never look back the data and accuracy for me and what I do is night and day, I’m running a ultra marathon next year and the Apple ultra just wasn’t enough battery for me I’m also doing a iron man hopefully in 2026 so the Garmin is much better suited.
It's weird cause it seems if Apple just made their battery competible with Garmin, it would have what seems a lot more people keeping or buying them. Good luck on all that you're doing!
@@TylerSinden I completely agree the new update that Apple is released seems very very kool and has a lot more data to add all they need to do now increase battery life and it will be a great watch. Thanks a lot I appreciate that 🙌🏼
Can't wait for the post-ironman video!
Coming soon!
Good luck!!
Thanks Miles!
Great stuff! Looking forward to the post-ironman vid 🦾
Thanks! Should be coming soon! 👀
Amazing progress. Have a great race day 👌 You got this 💪
Thank you! Gunna do my best! 😤
Is this damn thing over yet?

I'm amazed at how many times I hear this- "the eco-system of Apple products you can't beat". You yourself expressed the problems that you were having with the Apple watch at the beginning of the video. All of my friends with Apple watches have bogus activities on Strava that their watch creates and saves. They put up with so much oddball stuff that I don't have now that I've moved to Garmin and Android. My personal experience with Apple stuff was very far from perfect. I feel your pain with trying to connect external Bluetooth devices with the AW and even iPhone. I've been there... Garmin has LOTS of settings so that you can make things how YOU want them. Customize the data fields and data pages specific to each activity! So your comment about showing the time during an activity- just edit a data page to have a field that shows the current time. It's incredibly easy! Then set the watch to auto-scroll through the data pages during the activity. Anyway, I'm glad to hear that you like the Forerunner. Welcome to the Garmin family!
It's seamless having an Apple Watch, iPhone, Mac, etc. You can't beat the connectivity. I was basically only using AW out of the box without the customizations so I wanted to do the same with the Garmin. That's interesting about the auto-scroll feature. I might look into it, but I do like choosing which screen I'm viewing.
I’ve also dealt with pretty bad outside of the knee pain that was most noticeable when going down stairs and was caused by overuse running and cycling. It is almost certainly ITBS. Know you’re a week out from your race and sounds like you might be past the worst of the injury, but just thought I’d note the #1 thing that helped me overcome the injury (other than rest from running and loosening up the glutes with a massage gun or lacrosse ball) was banded side lying clamshells. Your mileage may vary of course, but it took several appointments with a PT and a lot of research to find the solution for me! Best of luck in your race dude!
Thank you! It does seem to be gone now and feeling good where I'm at right now, but thanks for the exercise that worked for you. I've had a really bad IT Band injury after my first half marathon and took me 6 months to recover. I'm happy the worst is gone now. Glad you were able to figure out a solution for your issue as well.
With this 8 month prep I am expecting you to get a top 10 finish minumum if not top 3.
Doing my best to be there!
@@TylerSinden That is what I wanted to hear. Do it!!!
@@CyclingwithVovo 😤
Can I ask where you got your Ironman plan? I’m looking for one myself and would love a recommendation!
I'm using a platform called TriDot. I got 2 months free and I think I'm paying now. You can apply below here to see if you can get the 2 months free as well (I'm not affiliated with them). tdp.tridot.com/tdpukm/
@@TylerSinden Thanks a lot! Good luck on your race!
@@itchyguy123 Of course. Thank you and best of luck starting your journey out!
Thank God...One more week and we can finally go about our lives. This 8 months of training is wearing on me and probably other viewers...One more week guys and we can finally Party like its 1999!!!
Better safe than sorry! Hope the taper gives it plenty of rest, to have you as close to 100% come race day.
Exactly! Been feeling really good after that little break and with the taper starting, I should be all set come race day 👌
This damn Iron Man isn't over yet..Myself and half America can not wait till this is over. This is like "our" Super Bowl.
Calorie deficit during a marathon is seriously impressive
Rough estimation on calories consumed but yeah 😅
For the love of all that is holy please get this over with so we can all get on with our lives...haha
Ya know, you don't have to comment if you don't want to
@@TylerSinden OOh please I am loving the commenting, haha

Bro showed up on the wrong day 😂😂😂
I was so embarrassed hahah not sure how many people I told it was that day too
Error on Sundays run… unless you’re a sub 4:00 miler
Oppss, that was supposed to be a bike haha
Do you track your load or tss? Curious what a week would look like for you. Keep up the work!!
What does tss mean? This was a fairly typical week though. I'm around peak volume, but I had an injury to my knee, so I didn't do the usual Fri, Sat, & Sun runs (swapped Sunday run with the bike).
Crushing it!💪🏻
Trying to! 😤
Hey man, I know your channel isn't huge but the production quality and the lessons learned are gold. Keep at it!
Hey, thanks! I really appreciate it. Just trying to document my journey, learn as much as possible, and share what I learn. I will be 🫡
There a few data widgets from connect IQ you can download to your watch that you can see all the metrics, including time. Or you can change the current data pages or create new ones that include the time
For cycling, the only proper way to calculate calories burned is with a power meter. You will get work done in joules, which is then converted to calories via a multiplier
Good to know! I do have a power meter now and seems to have been very similar to what the Garmin was saying before I got it. Apple was way off.
Good luck !!!! You got this
Thanks! Doing the best I can in prep
Dont encourage him, he might get a heart attack, this is not normal activity like going for a walk with the dog. He can get hurt.
How do you go so fast? I am sure I dont look like that!
haha thanks but I don't think I'm really that fast. It might just be the perspective. I was averaging around 1:45 per 100/yard on this swim.
@TylerSinden my 1st 70.3 is next month and is down river, so i think that will make me faster. Did you use any coaching programs to improve your swimming? I see a bunch of online programs avail.
I cant wait for this Ironman to be over so we can all go on with our lives...haha
This is my life now 😤
@@TylerSinden I could see if you was getting paid like a million dollars a year. This seems not normal by most peoples standards.
@@CyclingwithVovo I don't want to be normal
@@TylerSinden 😃
If you find that you are putting on the Sumarpo suit correctly, and it is still rubbing, do you think placing a waterproof bandage on that part of your neck would help to protect the area, so you can still use the suit?
Love the idea! I'll be testing the suit out again in the future but if that still happens, I think that could be a great fix.
100km with barely any elevation lol. Good pace though
This was one of my first rides. Thanks though
That first 100 miler feels so good! Way to rock it!
Thanks! Felt good!
You took gels for the first time the day b4 your marathon?!
That would be correct lol
Dope! I’ve been only running for the over a year, been getting comfortable with it. Just bought a road bike and going to slowly train for an ironman. Thanks for all the info and appreciate the grind!
Awesome to hear! I ran a bit in grade school and high school, but only got back into it the past few years as well. That's exciting getting a bike and starting that journey! The best motivation is signing up and then you're forced in the fire. Also, I'm still new to all this so always trying to learn new things and prepare best I can. Thanks, you keep grinding as well!
Amazing drone shots! Keep it up!
I think I am his video man, you can ask him; Me and my drone, haha
Thanks, Mike, I appreciate it! I will be 🫡
Is this Iron man this year 2024? Seems like this training has been going on for like 2 years.
July 21st
good one.
Thanks
Training peaks brother. Build your own workouts in it
I like having someone come up with my workouts for me. Makes it a lot easier on my end.
Glad you enjoyed your trip!
Thanks! It was truly a great experience and really glad I did it.
You seem to be very hard on your self
Gotta be. High standards for myself.
Can not wait till this is over..This Iron Man is making me nervous seeing this every other day..I am exhausted watching you and these videos, haha
haha maybe next I could do an ultra Ironman 😂
Looking strong Tyler!
Thanks! Making some good strides
Just use table sugar (sucrose). It is the perfect ratio of 50% glucose and 50% fructose.
I did that once when I hadn't received my fructose yet. Is that better in any way?
This thing is not over yet?...Jeesh, seems like you been preparing for this Iron Man for like 3 years, haha
hahha been training for close to 8 months, but 7 weeks out!
Costco is the only store designed to make you individual isle shop, they don’t have any isle label boards so you can’t easily find things and they move everything around often !
That's really interesting. I never thought about that, but it is like that ehh. I usually have a route and get the same stuff every time haha
Getting data and having data be accurate are two different things. I wear an apple watch because many accuracy tests with data scientists have proven the apple watch to be by far, the most accurate.
Yeah, that's a fair point. As I said, I have heard that the heart rate tracking is far better in the Apple Watch compared to the Garmin.
Apple can’t compare to Garmin. Real athletes use Garmin. AW are for soccer moms.

Way to finish 👍. Good job!
