2018 Naperville Sprint Triathlon Race Report

70.3 to sprint = a whole new game of suffer fest! A week ago I emailed my coach, Liz Waterstraat, with a pleading email asking if I could please do the Naperville Sprint Triathlon (the next weekend). I’ve really been slacking on my training lately- to be completely…

2018 Eagleman 70.3 Race Report

Well it has been approximately (actually) 11 days since I ran my heart down that beautiful red and black carpet. 11 days ago in Cambridge, Maryland, I woke up at 4:30am, pulled on my Dixie Devil team kit, ran some cool water over my face, soaked on my TriTats…

Gearing up for Eagleman 70.3

It’s the Friday before my “A” race of the season on Sunday. I’m in that place where you just aren’t sure if you kept up enough with workouts (I missed a LOT this season), you are second-guessing the fuel plan (even…

Race Report: Toughman Tennessee Half Iron Distance – Lenoir City, TN

I was on an emotional roller coaster to start the weekend – Nate was supposed to be doing this race with me but work threw him a curve ball so he was stuck at home. My mom flew out to watch the kids (thank goodness) but trying to organize nap…

Race Report: Riverbluff Olympic Triathlon – Ashland City, TN

I’m about five hours post-race at this point, and the post-race stiffness and soreness has begun! All a good sign of a legit, hard, gritty race. The Riverbluff Triathlon is located in Ashland City, Tennessee, at Riverbluff Park. The park itself is gorgeous- there is a…

The 2015 Tri-2-Beat Cancer Triathlon (Sprint)

Wooooo!!!!! That is where I’ll start. This weekend was insanity.  I ordered a new tri kit from Coeur Sports which arrived on Thursday before the race.  Talk about cutting it close. THEN, (Major TMI Warning) the ::ahem:: lady ::ahem:: came to visit me for the first time since…

My First Triathlon Season’s End – Bittersweet

My very first triathlon season came to a bittersweet end this weekend with the finish of the Miami Man International Triathlon in Miami, Florida. As always, it was a whirlwind of a year between flat tires, injuries, weather setbacks, and training difficulties.  I can honestly say I’ve experienced…
