Chasing is a MOMNT podcast about people committing to hard, strange, and meaningful things before they feel fully ready. Hosted by Oscar Gomez, each episode goes behind the result and into the real process: what made the pursuit matter, what it cost, where the plan broke, how the person adapted, and what the experience revealed about identity, culture, family, discipline, and growth. The conversations often begin with movement, including running, ultrarunning, Ironman, HYROX, martial arts, and endurance, but they do not end there. Creators, founders, community builders, and people reshaping their lives belong here too, as long as the pursuit is real and the story has something useful to give. No polished gurus. No empty motivation. Just specific stories, honest lessons, humor, setbacks, and people figuring it out while moving. Forget perfect. Chase better.

    Chasing 140.6: Two months to become an Ironman

    What happens when you commit to 140.6 miles before you feel ready? In the first episode of Chasing, I sit down with Taco to unpack how he went from running his first marathon to becoming an Ironman with only two months of focused triathlon training. Our story starts at mile 15 of the Mexico City Marathon, where we met in person for the first time after connecting online. I was struggling, Taco handed me a caffeinated gel, and a random race-day moment became a friendship built through running, culture, and increasingly difficult goals. Taco takes us through an IT band injury, using cycling to rebuild, buying his first road bike, teaching himself to swim, and officially committing to Ironman Texas. We talk about the money, time, training anxiety, full-time work, self-coaching, and constant problem-solving behind the finish. On race day, the swim nearly ended everything. A few hundred meters in, Taco wanted to quit. Instead, he moved from kayak to kayak, stayed ahead of the course closure, and kept going. He completed the full 140.6 miles in 16 hours and 38 minutes. We also talk about the Mexico City and New York City marathons, losing his dog Raven, artificial intelligence, martial arts, brotherhood, family support, Mexican identity, and the meaning behind his finish-line pose. This conversation is about committing before you feel capable, adapting the goal to the life you actually have, and trusting that even small forward progress can eventually carry you to the finish. In this episode: • How Taco and I met during the Mexico City Marathon • Recovering from injury and discovering cycling • The cost of entering triathlon • Preparing with two months of focused training • Learning to swim without formal coaching • Balancing training with work and real life • Training anxiety, recovery, and self-coaching • Wanting to quit during the Ironman swim • Finishing 140.6 miles in 16 hours and 38 minutes • Mexican pride and the story behind Taco’s finish-line pose • Why consistency does not mean training every day Watch the full video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YEfKkfOTTk Follow Taco: https://www.instagram.com/tacoxrun/ Follow Oscar: https://www.instagram.com/goscar/ Follow momnt: https://www.instagram.com/chaseyourmomnt/ https://www.youtube.com/@chaseyourmomnt Chasing is a momnt conversation series hosted by Oscar Gomez about people pursuing hard, meaningful things and what the pursuit reveals about identity, discipline, culture, and growth. forget perfect, chase better.
