I’m Drooling
I spent the better part of the morning drooling. Not over the beautiful day, though it was beautiful. Not over my riding partner’s strength on the bike, though Kate Major is one of the best athletes in the sport and a total badass on the bike. (Ok, maybe I was drooling over her, just a…
Both feet
Yesterday I got the get-back-to-work phone call from Coach. Actually, to be honest, I initiated the call. It’s been a nice break, but I am more than ready to get back at it.
Wish granted. This week’s training plan has me jumping right back in with both feet. Group rides, 2 hour runs, etc. 3…
Multitasking
Nothing too exciting to report here, just getting back into the routine. Whoever coined the term “perfectly normal” had it exactly right. This week has been full of pretty normal daily living tasks, mixed in with a bit of light training. . .Sometimes, I even find ways to combine the two.
For example, yesterday’s…
Dorthy was right. . .
It’s true, there is no place like home. I arrived home yesterday after almost a month away.

Swimming with the Fishies
It was a legs off day on Friday–good thing. My comment about the “super easy” track workout on Tuesday came back to bite me in the @ss during some big workouts later in the week. . .go figure. When will I learn to not say such things?!
The day’s ocean swims–yes, plural–were nice. I wouldn’t…
The Latest. . .
Today I finally sucked it up and went to the doctor. It’s been 2.5 weeks of no running, and enough is enough, even for a die hard “ignore it and it will go away” theorist, such as myself. At first, I thought it was just a bit of tendonitis that needed a few days of…
Look What the Easter Bunny Brought Me!
He/She–I haven’t picked a name yet–is awesome! For our first real outing, we rode…

Dumbing it down. . .
Why fly half a world away for a training camp, when San Diego, the “triathlon mecca” is home base? There is no shortage of fast training partners in San Diego, and unlike my Canadian teammates, I didn’t really need to escape the cold weather. . .Even though we DID have a pretty rainy…
