Just a quick note after my swim…
Today was another very warm day. After a refreshing – albeit tough – masters swim (including IM intervals), Super Husband came to the rescue. As soon as I got home he greeted me with hugs, kisses – and went to get our dinner…. Yummy, chilled sushi! [...]

Runnin’ Down a Dream

Great week for training!
Tuesday was a great 5.5 mile run with Super Husband. Wednesday was Masters Swim – I worked on some hard IM intervals which felt great. Thursday was a day off with donating blood at local blood drive as well as cooking / serving those less fortunate at a local shelter. [...]
Why I Tri…
Posted in Life, Training on April 23, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
The past few weeks I’ve been really thinking about this statement. It started when Danskin asked us to write a short essay on “Why I Tri” for the upcoming race. I was actually at a loss for words (I know, impossible as that sounds…).
So I put a lot of thought into why I [...]
Training Trifecta: Mind, Body and Soul

This weekend has been quite excellent in training.
Swimming on Friday: 3000m and it felt great getting back into the pool after the race. I mentioned to the class instructor how well I did at the race and he congratulated me. I admit, after the 60 laps were complete, I was tired. [...]
And the Beat Goes On…

Today was a slow movement back into training.
Sunday was a well deserved rest day. Super Husband and I slept in – as late as 8:30 (which is unheard of!). We hung out and stayed close to home. LA was in a mini-heat wave (we brought back the desert heat, I think) so [...]
Iron Girl Lake Las Vegas – Tri with Elvis

Iron Girl at Lake Las Vegas is now an incredible memory. The long weekend was excellent – sharing each moment with my Better Half as we drove from LA to Vegas.
Super Husband and I departed Thursday afternoon to avoid the evening and Friday traffic. We arrived 7:15 p.m. and had the expo to [...]
Back to Basics

Today was very inspirational.
I was reminded by an old, dear friend of the wonder, magic and inspiration behind one’s first race. A friend of mine mentioned to me that she and her husband are doing their first 10k and they are training together. I had an instant smile and excitement for them!
After she [...]
Tri Season 2008: Ready to Rumble!

Less than one week before my first Tri of the season: Irongirl Las Vegas. This will also be my first Olympic / International Distance (0.9 mile swim / 25 mile bike / 10k run). I am very excited and ready to go – and at the same time, nervous to see open water [...]
I am the Human Barometer

The past couple days my head felt as though it was locked in a vice. My cheek bones ached, my eyes felt as though they were popping out of my head. Ugh. This usually happens when there is a drastic change in weather.
It rained today.
I think I should become a meteorologist instead.
