Post double-brick on Thursday Monday: 4100m swim (4th of July Parade) 2:30 brick (4th of July Party) Tuesday: 4000m swim (swim lessons) (sports camp) 10 mile tempo run 1:00 stretching and foam rolling In order to redeem my self from last week’s horrible run, we came up with a new plan. Coach M now has…

(some of) NAU Masters I know I have been racing pretty well lately. I also know that I have plenty of workouts where I don’t even come close to nailing it. Some days I feel like crap the minute I leave the house and would rather go back home than keep running or biking. Monday…

The preparations for Boise went everything but smooth. I showed up at my massage therapist at the wrong time, spent way too much time dealing with borrowed race wheels (that Coach was trying to talk me into) only to decide that I was not going to use them, left my race bag at home (the…

I am back. In Flagstaff. Fun is over. I guess I’d better get used to it. Really, it is not so bad. I just really love hanging out with family, friends, and the Utah triathlon crowd. Good times. I was hoping to be able to start feeling more at home here by competing in the…

Sorry. No time for a race report. Bags are packed and I have 5 minutes until we are off to race #3 in 3 weeks. That is definitely not enough time to tell you about my Boise race. I have had plenty of fun this week. Lots of family time. 2 trail runs in Rock…

I am super happy to announce that Boise 70.3 was a success! I reached my goal of qualifying for the 70.3 World Championships in Las Vegas. I was also able to win my age group and come in as the 2nd female amateur. This is so exciting for me! I knew that, if everything came…

Finally! The day of my favorite sprint triathlon had arrived! Hanging out with Missy Payne The reason I like to show up (at least) 2 hours early, is not because I need the perfect spot for my bike or because I have a 120-minute pre-race routine. It is so I can chat with as many…

Hey Leslie! Will I get to race with you at all this year? I miss you! I really need to write my Salem Race Report. Really – as in – I promised the Race Directors it would be up Sunday or Monday and today is Wednesday. Oops. How did that happen? I could really use…

I am sure you are all aware of the fact that I love being in Utah. We got here two weeks ago and although about 12 of those days have been cold and rainy, I am one happy camper. I have only gone on a few bike rides outside, but they have all been lovely….

In this race, I was on a mission. I was going to execute Coach M’s plan as best I could. Wanna know the plan? This is what it said: Have a ball! Race all out. You should feel good from start to finish and be able to push the entire time. That sounds like fun,…
