Love your positivity, keep it up!! You are going to crush your IM!

Thank you so much! 🙏🏼

[@bentaylor3730]

Great job mate, must say though the usual rule of thumb is to never try anything new on race day, which goes for nutrition to gear. Great that it worked out regardless buddy. 👊💯

Ahhhh the good ol’ pre-race poop anxiety. Thanks for keeping it real, and congrats on a great race!! 🎉

[@rasher331]

Well done, fantastic result. You deserved it!

Congratulations! Great job on the PR!

[@ashtontris]

Thank you!!

I love NYC Half. Did it twice. But the Valencia half is the best 1/2.in the world.

[@ashtontris]

That sounds like it would be a beautiful run!

[@stephanieangers9702]

Oh wooow! Good job!🎉

[@ashtontris]

Thank you, Stephanie!!😁

[@susanphillips6777]

Congratulations 🥂 Maybe take the caffeine gel first up or second gel. Caffeine takes up to 60mins before the effect kicks in🤷‍♀️

[@ashtontris]

Thank you, Susan! And yes, that may be a good idea - I’ll practice in some of my long training runs!

[@Lifeof.Jordan]

Well done

[@faith9192]

Wow man….great

[@ChelseaPerry-fl1dy]

Congrats on the PR! Where did you go for breakfast after the race? Was that a cinnamon roll?

[@ashtontris]

Thanks Chelsea! It’s was a babka bread from Breads Bakery but took it with me to EJs Luncheonette on the UES! One of my favorite diners in neighborhood for sure

[@lenkaontherun]

You should run the Prague Half-marathon and I'll change your mind about the best course. :D

[@ashtontris]

Would love to run it one day and see!

[@ThatOneDude6009]

Asked you this already, but have you looked in TT bikes yet? I'd highly recommend one for the full ironman.

[@ashtontris]

Yes I have and would love to get one but don’t want to drop the money on it just yet 😅

[@davidcimino8346]

I think you said it in a real early video, but what treadmill are you running on at the gym that connects to Zwift?

[@ashtontris]

Hey David, I use a woodway treadmill on the gym. It will pair with Zwift through Bluetooth!

[@maxmax-tz6is]

Are you doing the prep with a coach? Or with a program?

[@ashtontris]

Hey Max! I’ve been training using a program by Phil Mosley called MyProCoach. The program is the Ironman Intermediate plan and I have access to a coach online. It’s been great so far and highly recommend. They have plans for all different kinds of races.

[@sharin922]

What camera are you using during the marathon?

[@ashtontris]

I use the DJI Osmo Pocket 3!

[@mayankthakur5137]

Interesting that you wear something new for a race. I never wear anything new.everything has to be tried and tested and worn in.

[@ashtontris]

Shoes definitely stay the same but a new shirt makes it a little fun :)

[@andyjohansson1271]

Love the videos, but it sure sounds like you need to lube your chain. Or join the waxed-chain-side of things ✌

[@ashtontris]

You’re 100% right, I just have been lazy and haven’t ordered any 🫣
