My New Year's resolution was to do at least one group work out per month. My schedule used to be almost 100% group workouts and I absolutely love the social aspect of the sport. However, this year my off season was over while others where just heading into theirs since I am targeting an early [...]
I just found out that the Coeur Sports Team has partnered with Osmo Nutrition which I am very excited about because I had already started researching this cool sounding nutrition company that has designed nutrition specifically for women's bodies and I have only heard positive comments and feedback to date. I am very much in [...]

What on earth is a hair dryer doing in a Triblog? This little machine is going to free me up to train more and help me on chilly pool sprint race days too! Trianing sessions tend to take up a larger chunk of time than I expect. Looking at a 1 hour swim equates to much [...]

This morning was a big break through for me. Some of my proudest moments occur when I am training on my own rather than in a race. Today I had one of those moments. I woke up at ridiculous o'clock for breakfast and a giant cup of coffee and set up my bike trainer. [...]
One of the best parts of triathlon is the people I meet along the way. There are so many amazing people in the sport at every level from diverse backgrounds who inspire me. In fact, during my last ironman, I dedicated one mile to a person who had impacted my training in some way which [...]
