Ready or not, it's time to make a splash @spartanrace Jacksonville this weekend; kicking off the US Championship Series. The course is looking quite challenging in the woods and muddy sections, which will be amplified after today's race. It's going to make for exciting conditions! Thanks to Garfield, Steve, and the build team for putting in some long hard hours. ------ It's been a productive process with @spartan to establish some new procedures for better communication with the team moving forward. We operate on a unique system that is still developing and I'm confident will improve into 2021 and beyond. It's something you really have to be a part of for years to fully understand all the dynamics. ------ Best wishes to anyone getting off the couch to challenge their initiatives within any race distance or series. With overlap and the new rule of mandatory attendance to all series events it's impossible to do them all, unlike in years past. There is so much the Sport of OCR has to offer during an 11 month season, from short to long so do whatever makes you happy! Let's keep moving forward. ------ Full 2020 Race schedule to follow next week. I'm not racing nearly as much this season.... 🤔🤣 ------ #killianit #spartanrace #uscs #spartanpro #keeppushing #neverquit #getoutside #ocr #usa #teamyokohama #ascentprotein #locklaces #tailwindnutrition #darntough #craftsportswear #craft #luminox #purepowerlife #atpscience #teamfitaid #fitaid ------ @ascent_protein @locklaces @yokohamatire @darntoughvermont @craftsportswearus @luminoxworld @purepowerlife

What a great experience to try new things with friends! Thanks to @yokohamatire for allowing #teamyokohama the opportunity to get together for this year's summit. It was great to reconnect with the crew and get to know the new members. ------ Our team beat @travispastrana and gang in 🥌, no big deal. 🍻 on them! Those are the rules! 🤷‍♂️ ------ #killianit #teamwork #ytc #summit #curling #yokohamatire #gostrong #advan #geolander #trynewthings #craftsportswear #breakfree

Tire flip Tuesday, 400lbs of high quality rubber coming at you! I'm heading to California today for the @yokohamatire #teamyokohama summit. This is an amazing event set to coordinate efforts throughout the year between athletes and the key YT staff. ------ I'm absolutely grateful for a company willing to invest in multi-sport athletes and mutually support our goals as well as rope us into their initiatives; making it a true joint effort. ------ They continue to go above and beyond in tire innovation to ensure the absolute best traction available in any condition. My two favorites are the Advan and Geolander series. Go strong! ------ #killianit #srwc #yokohamatire #gostrong #getagrip #advan #A052 #geolander #atg015 #tireflip #ocr #keeppushing #neverquit #getoutside #nothingburnslikethecold ------ 📸 @kylelieberman

Medal Monday pocket dump, because you never know what the world might throw at you. ------ Carry responsibility and legally. ------ #killianit #medalmonday #pocketdump #expecttheunexpected #concealedcarry #colorado #mountainlife #2ndamendment #luminoxworld #rltw #bestranger #dol #greenberet #leatherman #multitool #celticshield

I've taken 12 solid weeks off from running to finally give my body a much needed break. OCR demands a lot and takes a toll on your body, especially if you choose to compete 11 months out of the year. ------ To kick start the season build, focusing on my race goals, I like to start with a metabolic test so I can track my progress throughout the year. I'm more focused on heartrate zones, threshold, and calorie burn (fat or glycogen) vs just VO2 max. ------ Thanks to @pnoe_analytics I can now conduct unlimited testing from home during any workout I choose. And on top of that, stay synced with my @whoop to continue implementing HRV data into my training as well. This is the next level; a one-two combo to cover all training statistics. ------ I will soon be able to test other athletes, provide a full workup of results, and offer training plus nutrition plans based off the analysis. Stay tuned for how to sign up! ------ #killianit #paincave #pnoe #cardio #metobolic #test #healthassessment #nextlevel #whoop #keeppushing #neverquit #usaocr #ocr #craft #craftsportswear #breakfree #darntoughvermont #darntoughsocks #tailwindnutrition #allyouneedallday #luminoxworld #everysecondcounts

What drives you to be #darntough? ------ I'm still in negotiations with Spartan Race about continuing to be one of their biggest ambassadors and a member of the Pro Team. We've made some forward progress with communication and established an understanding from both perspectives. However, I'm still not only fighting for more freedom (it's not all about money and sponsors), but for other athletes who have been too afraid of being cut to speak up for feeling undervalued and over regulated these past few years. ------ There's a certain perspective you can only understand if you've lived it. For me that's been going on 5 years now; more than anyone on the Pro Team Management Staff. I have tried my best to bring them up to speed as well as understand their initiatives. ------ Today is my last call scheduled to come to an agreement. We all have a season to plan. Per the terms of last year's contract, Spartan didn't adhere to their own timeline for the renegotiation period; a major cause of all this added stress to come to terms before the first race, a week away, to kick off an 11 month season! We feel pressured and there are a lot of things being held over our heads. ------ In other exciting news, Spartan recently announced a massive prize purse for Trail/Ultra Trail to attract more fast runners into the sport. I predict they will also sign some of those athletes. They just kickstarted, Dekafit, immediately after seeing the success of Hyrox in the US. There are a lot of options out there for 2020! Will we see other investments to innovate and move the sport of OCR forward vs the initiatives of a Brand? I believe yes! Stay positive. 👊 ------ #killianit #keeppushing #neverquit #speakup #getoutside #ocr #usa #teamyokohama #ascentprotein #locklaces #tailwindnutrition #darntoughsocks #craftsportswear #craft #luminox #purepowerlife #atpscience #teamfitaid #fitaid ------ @ascent_protein @yokohamatire @tailwindnutrition @darntoughvermont @craftsportswear @luminoxworld @purepowerlife @atpscience
