Love me some skate skiing at Soldier Hollow!  Here is a bit of what I have been up to in preparation for the 2015 triathlon season that seems to be just around the corner! And I couldn’t be more excited!!! Provo Rec Masters  One of my favorite things about visiting Provo is the masters swim…

As far as the title goes:  No. This is NOT what my Mormon friends might be thinking. I am NOT pregnant.* This is a good thing but, dang, those newborns are just so precious!  We’ve had a few Operation XX lately. It all started with my 6-year-old coming home from school a few weeks ago telling…

Sunset at the Canyon With Ironman behind us and Thanksgiving break upon us, it was time to do some more exploring of the Grand Canyon!!! The GC is basically in our backyard, only a short 75-minute drive away from our home in Flagstaff. My last GC adventure consisted of a 180-mile bike loop from my…

This novel of a race report needs a little foreword, so here we go:  I just poured my heart and soul into this blog post. Something I don’t do often. Or ever. Because it makes me vulnerable. But I realize that it’s necessary. Not because YOU need to know what went down on Sunday but…

Crap. I would really like to write a lot MORE on here than just race reports! I write an awesome blog post in my head at least every other day but I just can’t seem to get my act together to actually write it down. That’s going to have to change. Not that you want…

This is how gorgeous it COULD have been…  I wake up at 3:30 and I smell smoke.  Inside the house through closed windows.  CRAP!  No need to even take a peek through the blinds.  I knew there was a good chance this would happen after seeing the smoke roll back in the night before but…

(Huge thanks to the very talented and kind Jeff Kapic and Larry Rosa for the wonderful pictures of this unforgettable day!) I had heard so many great things about this race that it was definitely on my bucket list! And I figured this was a good year to give it a try. I can still only…

Swimming in the river Mosel I honestly think this is my favorite 70.3 race to date! So many things I loved about coming to Luxembourg to swim, bike, run! Honestly, I was a bit nervous (and excited at the same time) to see how racing two 703s only 6 days apart would go but I…

As you can tell: Spectators galore! They were ALL OVER the course. Love it.  Racing in Europe is just plain awesome! And the husband has GOT to figure out a way to get a post-doc over there next year. I am dying to live back home (or in any of the surrounding countries, preferably a…

T3 Women’s Team at Sand Hollow Reservoir. I am the one with the Coeur hat.  This was a big one! Definitely the first highlight of the season! Not only was the St. George 70.3 the US Pro Championships with an absolutely stacked field but it was also my first race as a Professional*. Some might…
