I’m going to spoil the ending for you right here in the first sentence: the Long Beach Marathon ended up being a PW for me by about twenty minutes. I had a flat-out awful run (that was more like a really, really long walk). But I managed to learn some lessons and meet some fabulous […]
Power of 10+ Virtual Race Report
Race day dawned this morning, pretty much like every morning, with me slamming down coffee and hollering at the kids to eat breakfast and brush their teeth. I wasn’t really nervous about this race, but I sure didn’t know what to expect. The Race Director’s instructions were a little vague: do some sort of distance […]
Photo Spectator Reports
It’s a 2-for-1 day on Photo Spectator Reports, lucky you! Yesterday was a pretty crazy day for our family – Big Boy competed in his first middle school Cross Country meet (he ran hard and was happy with his performance, but didn’t place. Holy moly, some of those kids were smokin’ fast!) and The Hubs […]
Super Sprint Season Finale
******Spoiler Alert******* My sidebar isn’t sporting any changes today. You would be correct in assuming that I’m a little unhappy about that, but at least there’s a good story behind it. Here it is: When I woke up yesterday morning, it was cold. And cloudy. And quite windy. Ugh, this is not optimal race day […]
Spectator Report – TRI for KIDS
How can you tell it’s the weekend? Because we’re racing, of course! Swim cap and goggles are on, so the sweatshirt comes off. Brrrrrrrrr! It was really chilly this morning. Google Images? No. Goggle images. The hard […]
Mama Goes Masters Virtual Race Report
Today was the big day – the Mama Goes Masters 4.0 Mile Virtual Race! I’ve been anticipating this race for several weeks now, so I was definitely feeling the nerves when I woke up. I drank my coffee, checked my email and headed out to the starting line…in front of my house. Note to […]
Photo Spectator Report – The Hubs’ Oly!
I love the early morning sights on race days! Of course we arrived early to get his pick of the bike racks. It was still dark but already pretty busy in the transition area. Not only did every single spot on the racks fill up, but some people had to lean their bikes against trees […]
TRI for KIDS Photo Spectator Report
A gorgeous start to a fantastic day, for sure! We arrived early and had our pick of the bike racks. Later, they were completely full. Body Marking. I seriously love the smell of those pens! Ready to rock ‘n roll! Big Boy’s swim start – yeah, he took a foot in the face […]
2nd TRI for FUN Race Report
I am not a girl who can stand suspense, so let me tell you now that today ROCKED! I didn’t drown, I didn’t puke, The Hubs got a great photo of me on Mr. Bike, I finished on my feet, AND I went kayak-free! Check, check, check, check and CHECK! Here’s how it all went […]
TRI for FUN Race Report
The short version: WOOOO HOOOOOOOO! The long version:I realized yesterday that I was feeling really good, really confident and really excited about today’s race. I had a nice pasta dinner, I pre-hydrated, and I got to bed at a reasonable hour. But when the alarm went off at 5, the nerves hit hard. Honestly, I wonder […]
