70.3 Miami: Done!
And just like that… crazy dreams can come true. Race report to follow…. Thank you guys for cheering us on. I could feel your encouragement throughout the whole day. Love ya’ll. Period. I do.
70.3 Miami: Time To Rest!
Oh. Yes. I. Did. (Matty Reed at the Muscle Milk tent. :)) I have ants in my pants, much like the St. Anthony’s “time to rest” day. Antonia (my bike) is racked, along with the Expert’s bike. Everything is ready. I’m sitting around in my compression socks, icing miscellaneous body parts and snuggling up, ready […]
70.3 Miami: Final Countdown
21 hour countdown. I know you guys are going to be so glad when this race is over. This has been countdown-a-palooza. (Yes, that is a stuffed animal. SBM friends, meet “Charlie,” my sheep) The head cold is in full force and I look like the spawn of Satan, but I am choosing to ignore […]
70.3 Miami: Race Packet Pickup
The race packet is in my possession, which makes this whole experience terrifying. I was fine until I saw my swim cap. And my race numbers. And pretty much all the super lean-mean people who are going to pummel me. I spent a fortune in the merchandise tent…there were so many shiny things. Which […]
70.3 Miami Skyline
The clouds are hovering over Miami. I really hope this weather pans out to be no big deal. I’m waiting on the Expert to finish a “webinar” for work. My head is clogged up and pounding, so I pounded back some DayQuil. There are alot of crazy factors hovering around this race: the […]
2 Day Delirium
I’m bib #806. I don’t like round numbers… I like pointy numbers… they make me look “leaner”. And the way I’ve been eating this week… well… As far as the weather forecast, there’s some tropical storm brewing and causing some disgusting type weather. Right now, the forecast says “thunderstorms.” Ugh. But I am hopeful that Miami […]

70.3 Baggage
So I’m sitting on the couch, sandwiched in between my two baby monkeys (James, 4 and Stella, almost 3) watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (come inside, it’s fun inside). The car is packed and ready to head out to Miami, promising what appears to be an 11-12 hour drive depending on traffic and my hydration levels. […]
A 70.3 Prayer
Dear God, You may know by now that I am doing something very crazy on Sunday. Traveling by car about 650 miles… so that I can travel by sea, bike and legs another 70.3 miles. It’s quite insane really. Please forgive me for this stupidity. That being said, dear Lord, please help me remember to […]
