Unless I’m racing…or training. I mean, I just really like pink….and I don’t really mind standing out when I’m working out. Which is weird, because in real life (so not racing or training I mean [cuz that's not real?]) I actually try to blend-in and NOT be noticed, I even get pretty embarrassed if and [...]
I have mixed emotions about tapering. I think I always have this little ideal situation planned out in my head where I’m going to cut back on my training, feel great about every session I do (because it’s short), and then spend the rest of my day being an energetic bumble-bee flittering around and doing [...]
I got this in the mail today… It’s the new flavor of GU! How exciting is that?! It’s from Charisa Wernick, she’s a pro triathlete who’s blog I read. I commented on her site and she sent me the NEW GU! How cool is she?! I actually just featured Charisa on my BLOG of the [...]
Brett is watching LOST which I don’t watch so I’m actually finishing some blogs that I started a while ago. I love writing, but I hate editing and re-reading so there are few piled up here in my DRAFTS. I also have a problem doing things out of chronological order or “out of order” at [...]
My first race of the season is Saturday. I’m doing the Napa Vintage Half Ironman. I haven’t raced at all in a year and a half, and I haven’t raced a half-iron distance race in 2 years! I’m feeling a little bit overwhelmed. I’ve been doing plenty of training for this race so I know [...]
A dang-it day, is a day when you just keep saying dang-it, or worse. Dang-it I should have done this. Dang-it I wish I would have done that. Dang-it….I need some food now. You get the picture. Today was supposed to be a long ride day with some hilly’s. Sounds like my cup-o-tea. Anything long [...]
A couple weeks ago my riding buddy Katie and I rode up to Pine Flat Lake. We started at Shaw and Academy. I had a three hour ride with a one hour tempo on the schedule. So we hammered out Belmont Ave. to the climb up to the lake. Once at the lake, we just [...]
So, the title should explain it all. I have all these stories locked up in my brain, and a few pictures to go with them (all of which I am downloading tonight). I LOVE blogging and I love telling stories, so I’m not sure why I’m so bad at actually doing it. When I’m [...]
The Surf City Half Marathon was a blast! It was a very busy weekend too. Just because you are in Southern California for the weekend doesn’t mean Ironman Training stops. Brett and I drove down to San Pedro Friday night after I got of work. We arrived at the harbor (we were staying on his [...]
Last week was my recovery week. It was fantastic. It’s funny when you are closing in on your need for recovery…..and the idea of a run or a bike ride makes you want to cry. You start wondering why you are doing an Ironman, when you hate training. I was definitely in this low dark place before [...]
