My limiting factor in swimming
posted on February 17, 2010 at 9:38am

Ever since I started training for triathlon, my time in the pool has been cursed. Aside from my incessant hunger when I get out of the water (unless, of course, I end up drinking too much water to have room for food), I get these debilitating calf cramp...more

Hey everyone. Today I'm spending a day at see, lounging by the pool, sipping fruity drinks and maybe climbing the rock wall. While I'm without Internet access, I'd like you to please welcome Stacy for today's guest post! Hello followers and friends of Je...more

Seeing myself as a polar bear
posted on January 28, 2010 at 1:33pm

Two years ago, swim workouts were painful. Physically my body was just fine but mentally and emotionally, I was a wreck. Swim workouts quickly unraveled in my mind as doubt and fear would stop my stroke before I even completed one length of the pool. A...more

Normally the phrase “beauty pageant” and the word “triathlon” live in two separate spheres. One is controversial for its portrayal of the stereotypical feminine image and the other is about endurance and strength and peeing in your wetsuit, thin...more

10 miles and a swim?
posted on December 21, 2009 at 9:45am

So Saturday morning I got up bright and early for my 6-10 miler. I wanted to hit ten miles, but I didn’t know how I would fare and I didn’t want to push myself too hard pending how I felt during the run. I was just going to run until I was tired. I st...more

Bike Diva's getting a triathlon bike
posted on October 9, 2009 at 11:31am

Bike Diva's new ride? When you are a true bike addict, like I am, you can never have too many bikes. Right now, I only own three bikes. That barely qualifies me as a bike enthusiast, let alone a bike addict. I have been thinking about getting a triat...more

Things I didn't know before I turned Tri
posted on October 6, 2009 at 10:34am

Before I started training for my first triathlon (Ironman Wisconsin), I had this skewed sense of who a triathlete really was. The only triathletes I had met in real life (prior to meeting Ian) were perfectionists with (dare I say) obsessive-compulsive pre...more

OOohh man. 363hours. Crap crap crap. It's now starting to hit me. Will I be able to sleep during race week? Will I go crazy, like everyone else says I will, because I'll be tapering and have all this energy but no way to release it? What if I forget my ru...more
