Whistler 70.3 2017 was a great race! Dom and I both signed up earlier this year and we were excited to do an Ironman event with some of our other team members. We had 4 people that raced the half and 3 that did the full. We also had a pretty amazing cheer squad. Pre-Race:…

5 Things I am Obsessed with Right Now…
Two, sometimes three workouts a day, 9pm bedtimes and a laundry basket that smells like a football team’s locker room are just a few of the joys of training for a triathlon! My whole life seems to be revolving around this stuff right now (which I am embracing completely) and with the training has come…
Did we officially kick off summer this weekend!?
Happy Earth Day! I hope you were able to get outside and enjoy this fabulous place we call Earth. Seriously… Mother Nature kicks A$$! Today we did 60 miles to San Clemente and back and it felt like we officially kicked off training for Whistler in July. This whole week we have all stepped up…
Santa Cruz 70.3… Uffff
Santa Cruz 70.3! A weekend full of diversity! A Colombian who is capable of giving the expression “uffff” endless meanings, a Canadian, a Persian that grew up in Sweden, a Mexican or two, a few “blondies”, a Japanese, a South Korean, and more. I might have missed an ethnicity but needless to say we were a…
Trail Happy
Staying motivated is one of the hardest things for me to master as a triathlete. I have a tendency to fade in and out. I will train really hard for something and then once the race Is over I take a few weeks off. I might decide I am sick of swimming and biking and…
Highlights
WOW has it really been over a month since I last posted? Blogging EPIC FAIL!! In my defense… the last few weeks have been a crazy blur of work projects, non-stop activities and major life events. As per usual training has gotten pushed to the side. I would like to whine about how out of shape…
A Salute to Alexander Aciman
I have to admit that I had to google “reblogging” before I wrote this post. I wasn’t sure if it was proper blogging ettiquate! A fellow running friend shared this post on Facebook the other day and I seriously think I have read it 15 times. Perhaps it is because I’m at the point in…
Desert Tri – Race Report
Last weekends race can be pretty much summed up in one picture 🙂 We were warned ahead of time that it was going to be windy on race day. But, It never crossed my mind that the wind would be so bad that they might actually cancel the race! When we woke up on Sunday…
Sunshine Problems
I can’t wait to be old and wrinkly…said nobody ever!! Well, thanks to a childhood spent basking in the ozone sparse rays of the South African sun, and adulthood in winter-less California, I am pretty much screwed! Haha. Unfortunately I waited until I turned 29 to really start worrying about this stuff, but as my Mom always says…better…
Five Firsts
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…
