As a wise person on the internet has said “life without goals is like a race with no finish line; you’re just running to nowhere”. I think my biggest goal in life right now is to be relentless. That feeling of being “comfortable” always sounds good in theory, but once I’m there living it, I hate…

Coconut Scones
This was the weekend! I officially made my come back on the bike! It was slow…not a lot of Strava trophies, but I was on my bike. I was with my friends and I was in my happy place! We rode 40 miles. The ride we did was from Newport Beach to Seal Beach, along…
Silver Linings
I think most athletes will agree working up a sweat is so much more than exercise to us. Over the years it has become increasingly more important for my mood and my energy levels. I get the equivalent of hangry when I don’t work out now. And, when life gets challenging my body’s immediate reaction is to…
California Love
Well, here I go again…yet another post that is not about triathlons or training. I did say this blog was about training, racing, food, friends, and everything in between. Lately, I have just been enjoying more of everything in between 😉 Training and racing will come, I promise! Luckily my other interests keep me pretty…
Swimmies
I have a very unique relationship with swimming. I think most triathletes do. To me (again..me, just my opinion) there are people who are swimmers and there are people who are not. Some grew up swimming in school…and some didn’t. I didn’t. Yes I took swim lessons but my definition of swimming was floating on…
The Journey
I can hardly believe that the holidays are over already, they came and went in the blink of an eye. My mini Christmas tree is still in the corner begging me to plug it in or pack it away, one or the other. But, overall 2015 was a good year. For one, our annual Christmas road trip…
Merry Christmas Eve!
Merry Christmas Eve! Currently I’m sitting Northern Michigan at my parents’ house reflecting on 2015. What a year!! It’s been such a fun training year. So many of our friends have really taken big leaps in their racing. Everything from training for and completing their first tri, to buying a new bike, completing their first…
Picture Perfect Weekend
Ahhhh, the weekend! I can’t believe that I used to not have one! Well, not have them off…you know what I mean. For the first 3 years after graduating from college and having a “proper job” I also continued to bar tend on the weekends. It sucked! Now I enjoy every minute of those 2…
The 3 Musketeers
My friend Marjan (onesie wearer on the left) sent me this picture the other day and it made me laugh out loud! It was taken back in July at about 5am while we were getting ready for Vineman 70.3. It instantly reminded me how much I love this sport and these girls. The 3 of us spent…
