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 […]
Changing Plans
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 […]
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 […]
Windows of Opportunity
I am a planner, a control freak and pretty much an altogether un-spontaneous sort of girl most of the time. But lately, circumstances are conspiring against my well-laid plans. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing. In fact, I’m sure it’s good for me to jump right through when a window of opportunity opens up. WoO […]
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 […]
Five Goals Friday
Seriously, if you thought I was going into tomorrow’s race goal-free, you’re reading the wrong blog! 1. Don’t drown. This is always my goal, even at running races. I really, really don’t want to drown. 2. Don’t puke. Sometimes this one is tricky to manage, but I’ll go out on a limb and hope for […]
Whatchu Got?
Patrick and Kovas made me do it, I swear. The thing about running or triathlon-ing is, the more you do it, the more gear you “need.” Suddenly, the garage that used to be full of cars is full of bikes, and the shoe rack of high heels is replaced with boxes of Newtons. These are […]
