Beach to Battleship. It was beautiful! The weather was brutally windy and chilly and the logistics were complicated but the course was really fun and there were definitely tears at the finish line of this race. Sharing the day with me was my husband Nick and my teammates, Brenda and Casey who drove all the [...]
It rocked. 12 minutes faster than Lobsterman, but the bike course was short, so factoring that in, I will say that I had a 9 minute PR for the distance.My transitions were kind of slow and my run pace was slower than I think it should be again, but I finally got my Olympic distance [...]
Lobsterman was in September. It was the most efficiently organized and well run race I have ever done! I guess I shouldn't expect any less than that from Mainers! The course was gorgeous. I guess I took growing up around there for granted. Freeport is adorable.The race was a comedy of errors for me. Lots [...]
I am having such an awesome season!My comeback race was 3Sports Sprint: Just a local pool sprint, but I wound up with a huge PR and 1st place in my age group and 8th overall women and I was smiling and so incredibly happy the whole time. I had put an unbelievable amount of pressure [...]
I thought I lost her that day of the bike wreck. My beautiful Stella Cervelo took a brutal hit right along with me. While I cracked some bones and damaged my jaw, she fractured her top tube and mangled her aerobars. As luck would have it Cervelo was all out of 2011 frames in the [...]
It's been...a while. I suppose I have been so busy, I had zero time to update. Every second was planned and filled. I once joked that this was the injury tracker... and that may just be true. It's when I have a little more time to reflect and write! 2010 was a year of progress [...]
With Ironman CDA less than 4 months away, I should be blogging again...but I am just so busy! I love looking back at my training from 2009 and seeing how far I've come. Its kind of sad I don't have blogs from 2010 to this point, because its been a fun and exciting tri journey.Yesterday [...]
I just don't see how eating healthier could make me faster. I fuel appropriately before and after work outs. I'm not gaining weight. I hate to diet. I wonder if better nutrition actually would help. I don't want to try it though... unless it would actually make a difference. Otherwise, I'll just be wasting a [...]
Signed up for IMCDA and although for the past few months I wondered if I'd have to train alone for this one... half of the city (OK- maybe 15-20 people I know) registered for this race. Let the adventure begin. Cheers!
In one year and about 20 days... I plan on racing Ironman CDA! Registration is in just a few short weeks.I am thrilled about the early season race. I'll train hard all winter/spring and then relax the rest of the summer. Let the adventure begin.
