(Please excuse any spelling errors… spellcheck is not functioning and I am a sloppy typist!) Weekends like this are why I do everything I do. And when weekends like this strengthen your “Why”, your “how” becomes easier and easier. I do this because I love it. This sport is in my blood, and these days [...]

I am super happy to report that I had a great day at the Gulf Coast 1/2 Ironman yesterday!!!! I will have the long story tomorrow…. but the short of it is: I executed the plan pretty well. Nutrition went well, pacing went very well. I first came to this race in 2007 to prepare [...]

“This is going to feel like a conservative effort” The Wizard said to me Friday night on the phone, as we reviewed the plan for Saturday. It was a double gamble I think he called it, a hopefully worthwhile investment as I didn’t run to my potential 2 weeks ago at Johnny’s. The Kyle’s Run [...]

“Johnston.” I said with a smile. I hopped back in line to give him a hug. It was only fitting to run into CJ at Johnny’s Irish Pub on friday night at 6pm for the packet pickup for The Runnin O’ The Green. For some strange reason I had thought this would be less crowded [...]

I don’t know about you….. but every time I hear the national anthem…. especially before a race I choke up. For some obvious and not so obvious reasons. Today was no exception. It was stunning (I wish I could remember the name of the professional musician who sang…. anyone….anyone?). absolutely stunning. Over the lake the [...]

There are a thousand reasons why I adore Pumpkinman. Other than the race itself and the community literally surrounding it, it’s the unexpected friendships that make this race so special to me. A year ago I emailed race director Kat Donatello begging for a spot in the sprint race for my husband….. because I had forgotten [...]

Last Sunday the Wizard asked me if there was a race around here on Sunday. After some quick searching I found the Delta Lake Triathlon olympic distance race in Rome NY. It’s been years since I raced an Oly. Back in my heyday…. Kelly Bergkessel and I were ripping these things off sub 2:15 on a [...]

I had a solid race today at the Niagara Triathlon up in Grimsby Ontario. I keep wanting to call it the Grimsby Triathlon because that’s where the Subaru Triathlon Series began over twenty years ago! I knew coming up to Canada would be good for me. After the events of Saturday it was like coming [...]
