IRONMAN Boulder 2018 – A race that went incredibly well with a plan the went horrible wrong. This was my second IRONMAN and my second IRONMAN Boulder. The first go didn’t go as planed. Well the second didn’t go as planned either but I’ll get to that later. In my first attempt I was suffering…
My first race of 2018 is is the books, IRONMAN 70.3 St. George. It’s hard to believe that this is only my fourth half Ironman distance event and my second IRONMAN branded 70.3. A couple years back when I started it’s hard to believe that I would come to enjoy this distance. Here is my…
Diet fads come and go and many provide real results. But you have to ask yourself two questions when choosing a diet; Is this maintainable over the long run, and is it healthy? Generally we associate a diet with weight loss. There are many ways to loose weight, but they are very hard to maintain,…
I never realized how much of an affect my period has on my training. That goes for any woman. I always thought when I lacked energy or felt weaker or what have you, I thought that was just me sucking. After coming in Dead Fucking Last at a Time Trial Championship, I wanted to find…
The Boulder Rez Half Marathon Race was just a primer to get me ready for Challenge Aruba. The timing was perfect to get in the miles before the trek south. I was treating this race much like a “C” race and did very little to prep for it. I did make sure to increase my run…

I expected to see an improvement, but what I saw was a consistent performance resulting in less than a minute difference in time. Unfortunately slower, but at least close. This race did…
This was my second year doing the Boulder Sunrise Triathlon. Last year I did good finishing in 4th in my age group, and was really hoping to improve on that. I’ll be honest I was shooting for a podium finish, something that I would fall short of again. It was a busy weekend and I…
I’m still in shock, my first IRONMAN is complete. It was a day full of emotions, triumphs and challenges. IRONMAN Boulder was a race that I will remember for the rest of my life. This race was a big deal, because of the distance and the sheer amount of training that went into it. This…
The 106° West Triathlon was my “A” race. This was the big Kahuna, the race I would put everything into. It was my first half IRONMAN distance race. And on top of all of that, it would be a difficult race, dubbed the highest triathlon in the world with parts of the course reaching over…
The Colorado Triathlon was my second triathlon of the season. I wasn’t sure what to expect going into this event, but I have to say I was very impressed with every aspect. I only signed up for the sprint distance. The original idea was to work my way up to an olympic and then to the…
