Welcome back, fellow triathlon enthusiasts! Today, I have an exciting race recap to share from my recent experience at the IRONMAN 70.3 Triathlon Race in Oceanside, California. I had high hopes for this race, but as the saying goes, “not all races are created equal.” Let’s dive into my eventful day on the course and…
Steamboat, Colorado is one of those quintessential mountain towns. I have memories spending summers there as a child and have been lucky to have the opportunity to spend a lot of time there as an adult. When I first heard about the Steamboat Lake Triathlon way back in 2016 I knew I had to do…
This is the third year that I’ve raced IRONMAN 70.3 Boulder. Each year the course has been a little different, but always at the Boulder reservoir. Originally I signed up in 2019 and planed to race in 2020 but when the race was canceled due to COVID-19, I deferred to the 2021 race. It’s local…

If you weren’t a climber there was an ice cube’s chance in hell you’d podium in the three races. Friday was an uphill time trial. Saturday was a time trial in Hygiene, which, flatter than the other two days, still had quite the hill to overcome. And Sunday, glorious Sunday, was a 36-mile road race,…
I had given up on the idea of racing a mountain bike after choosing the Guanella Pass Hill Climb over the Beti Bike Bash. The Beti Bike Bash has a race category specific to women who have never raced before. I was all about that because mountain biking intimidated the shit out me. To factor…
