Rock Canyon Park. Our backyard in Provo. In LOVE!  The husband got a job!  As in: He finished his PhD!  Dissertation successfully defended and published! That is a big HUGE deal.  5 years at NAU in Flagstaff and 1 year at his parents’ and we are DONE.  We celebrated by camping at the beach in California….

Andrew Molera State Park – our paradise for a week After it became clear that we would most likely be in Utah all summer, I got a bit antsy and really wanted to go on a family vacation. We went camping in Moab in March and it was great fun. Since I am not training…

Not a bad place for some soul searching… I figured I owe you guys a bit of an update on this injury of mine. I don’t use the term injury lightly. I’ve had niggles and issues here and there. Some more persistent than others. But in 20 years of triathlon training and racing, this is…

frolicking on the beach  I had been really excited for my trip to Ironman Texas and once it became clear that racing (and training) was not an option for the near future, I began to make other plans. Karl and I made an arrangement after we realized that we will be at his parents for…

For this race report, I am just going to give you the raw and unedited version that I wrote down for myself and my coach. I don’t feel like writing another version of how this race panned out. This is more than I usually share on here and I am not completely comfortable with it but I…

Lacing up the running shoes. Not always with a big smile on my face. But mostly.  Triathlon. Three sports. My favorite? Biking. The one I struggle with the most? Running.  I love running. It’s so simple and efficient, so natural and freeing. Ideally I’d run every day. Twice. On beautiful single track trails up in…

So excited about my new Fuji Norcom Straight!!!  Bike love to the max!  HUGE THANKS to T3 Triathlon for this beauty aka The Boyfriend!  Funny and true story: The other day Max (8) had a friend over who apparently always comes over when I happen to not be home. So he asks Max: “Why is…

Rising Tide Triathlon Coaching (RTTC) hosted its first (swim/run) camp in Denver. I got to be a pat of it and it was oh so much fun! After the February camp in Arizona and some great training in the following weeks, I wasn’t feeling my best and headed to Denver definitely feeling a bit tired….

the Alpine Loop in its winter glory A few days after getting back from training camp in Phoenix and while still questioning my abilities to be a good friend to those I love, one of my favorite girls came to Utah for a visit and we got to spend some quality time together training but…
