Day Three. And Four. And maybe last post until I am drinking a Mai Tai.
Oct 9th. Oddly a totally different night than previously. I fell asleep early "ish" and ended up waking up at 5am. This is actually a good thing as race morning that alarm will wake me up around 4am. Pretty sure I woke up so early because I was super psyched to swim. Those that know... Continue Reading →
Arriving in Paradise
Oct 7th. Day of departure. Woke up to my yard inundated with Ironman "GO" signs. I didn't know you could have IM yard stakes but why not? Put a price tag on those and sell them (triathletes will buy anything if it has that logo on it)! Very cool banners, signs made from the kids,... Continue Reading →
Sponsor My Rally and I’ll Pay It Forward

Love your body and what it can do for you.
I've always been proud of the balance I have in my life... How I don't get "too crazy" and at most times, while I may feel like I lead separate lives (one on the bike one as a wife/mom/etc.), I feel like I "switch gears" as...well...good as can be. I had a hard month of... Continue Reading →
52 degrees, sharks, and the beauty of the skyline
I keep getting these emails from the Alcatraz Triathlon. Wanna feel ill? Read the emails. So, the first one said "Congratulations!! You are officially entered into the Alcatraz Triathlon"! OK. Fair enough. I mean it was my decision to enter this race right? Like I said in blogs earlier... we don't HAVE to do anything.... Continue Reading →
