May 10, 2011 By: Pahla B - Adventures of an Average Athlete

Don’t mind me if this post ends up making very little sense, because I have entered that part of race training known as the Complete and Utter Freak Out Stage.  No joke.  I can’t string together a coherent sentence in real life, so don’t expect me to have anything but crazy to say here on […]

April 9, 2011 By: Pahla B - Adventures of an Average Athlete

Super Sprint Season Finale

August 29, 2010 By: Pahla B - Adventures of an Average Athlete

******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 […]

Changing Plans

August 26, 2010 By: Pahla B - Adventures of an Average Athlete

So, here’s the problem with adding a race to your summer schedule at the last minute:  sometimes it doesn’t really work into your plans.  But the good news, in this case, is that I get to race something even better! This coming weekend, I was planning to compete in the LUNA Bar Sprint Distance Tri […]

Tryin’ out my TRI

June 26, 2010 By: Pahla B - Adventures of an Average Athlete

You know the Principle of Specificity?  Well, I took it to a whole ‘nuther level today and did a swim, bike and run on the exact course where my TRI will be in two weeks.  How did that work out for me?  The short answer is “It kicked my booty.”  The long answer is much […]
