Desert’s Edge Make-up Sprint Tri 2018
I had a DNS (did not start) earlier this season for a sprint triathlon. This was already a downgrade from the half ironman for which I was training. There were a lot of things out of my control that required that I pull out of the event, and the race director was nice enough to…

Week 5+6 Desert’s Edge Tri Training: A Little Bit of Adventure
The antibiotics are done and the cold/flu has mostly worked itself out of me. The exhaustion is still lingering but I am able to get most of my rest. I’ve registered for the sprint distance, and oh boy, thank goodness I didn’t spring for the Olympic! I’ve made it into the pool a few times,…

July 2017 Training Recap: 138.8 Total Miles, Zero Outdoor Riding
I used to be able to do week-by-week recaps for my events. Now I suppose monthly recaps will have to do! Depending on the regularity at which you talk to me, visit my blog, or how much I decide to share with you at any given time, you may know that I’ve been toying with…

Hmm. It’s been an interesting month. I don’t have a lot of time to go into too much detail about what’s been going on, but let’s recap: -I went on a weeklong vacation to Waikiki with Erik. By day we hiked, ran, snorkeled, swam, surfed, boogey boarded, and by night we hopped skipped karaoke…

On Fear and Falling
Ladies and gents, I am so happy right now. Like, bursting at the seams happy. So, finally after many months/years of this weird mental game of being scared of clipping in, I decided to give it a go again. And guess what? I did it! I’m still in one piece! It might sound kind of…

Olympic Tri (My Way) and Race Recap: Athleta Iron Girl 10K
So sometime last night, when I was tossing and turning because I couldn’t fall asleep, I came up with this plan… I’ve been really annoyed lately that I can’t find a nearby triathlon that works with my schedule so i decided to do my own thing. (Story of my life.) I decided that since my…

6am Gym Date, Got My New Bike Trainer
I fell asleep really early last night — 10pm or so — and ended up waking up at 4am with nothing to do! I was still a bit sore from the day before, so I tried to get some more shuteye and then I opened up my inbox to see an email from SparkPeople… With…

Hired by Amazon, Moving to Seattle, Learning Ruby/Rails, And Other Good Things
It’s been a long while since I’ve updated here! As you may have noticed, my running is a bit off. Well, it’s like, super off. It’s so off that I’m sleeping with my running gear on so that when I get up tomorrow morning it’s the first thing I do! I’ve only logged 5 runs…
