I have been inspired by my sister to invent a swim helmet. It will be a big seller at Ironman races. I will make a billion, buy myself an island and live happily ever after. I will host Camp HTFU twice a year and we will swim in the ocean. But don’t forget right now [...]

Hi everyone…. thanks so much for the many emails, texts and phone calls. I am not okay. I am not okay at all. I am not sure if it is my head or my heart but I feel like I have been shattered into a million tiny pieces. I left this bike course in an [...]

Family signs on the run out and back! Transition Saturday in Placid means bike check in. I did something I swore I’d never do. I duct taped garbage bags all over my wheels and I dreamt of having the bike tarp. I always mock those out who cover their seats, but suddenly I was in [...]

I am very well aware that we have a very serious issue with my hair. I have not brushed it, I don’t plan on brushing it. At mile 18 no one will give a shit and I just might even cut it in T2…. except that’d take too much time. Until then I am doing [...]

Coach must have known what would happen today when he sent me out to the out and back part of the bike course. I completely calmed down. Maybe it was the quiet, maybe it was the scenery but whatever it was in one breath I felt all doubt, fear and uncertainty disappear. The bike is [...]

The Bruneaus are here and the boys are all in heaven. There is fishing to be done and woods to play in, not to mention their cool toys that they are orienting Luc to. He’s in his own version of heaven. Placid on Wednesday is wonderful. A handful of triathletes were in Mirror Lake this [...]
