First up, Sunday morning, April 3, at Nytro MultiSport at 9:00am in Encinitas for “Recover with Cannondale Bicycles!” I will be moderating a Q&A with the Cannondale pros-you guessed it-including Andy Potts, […]

Virtual Race Update: Project Semicolon

An updated on our New Year, New Hope Race (belated as it is)… Thank you all for participating!  We had a great turnout and raised $2,000 for Project Semicolon in honor of Cara Will and in memory of her son, Dylan. Thank you ALL for your participation and love for this wonderful cause that is so close to […]

Unlocking YOUR Speed

At my talk this weekend someone asked the question about when running became easy for me. Of course, the response to that was all, “Ummm… Never?” Because running isn’t easy for me.  Swimming can be–to a degree.  Cycling comes in second–not easy, but more natural, but only after working at it for years. But running–no, […]

A Super NOVA Event

I had a fantastic time in Northern Virginia in March—late last year, I was invited to speak at Northern Virginia Community College, and I am so glad we worked it out. It turned out to be a really fantastic two days–meeting new friends, talking about cookies, 🙂  and more. Thanks to NOVA for putting on […]

Surviving the Mental Game of Injury

As I am watching several of my friends complete their last few tough workouts before the Oceanside 70.3 taper, I am super sad that I won’t be racing. At the same time, I know it’s okay, not the end of the world, and time will pass quickly on the injury so long as I play a smart […]

Running and Not Running

I’m on the DL… that’s “disabled list,” not “down low.”  But only on the list for running (for 8 weeks) and cycling (for just a little bit longer–hopefully next week I can get back on the trainer).  In the grand scheme, it’s a pretty short time—BUT, it’s really disturbing the plans for the first two 70.3s […]

Swim Bike Stress (Fracture)

In true to form, when the going gets tough, I break something. 🙂 After having a really great 15 weeks of training and gains, an MRI revealed that I have the likes of a tibia stress fracture. I am out of weight-bearing activities for 8 weeks: also known as ETERNITY.  [Of course, it’s not, really.] And I […]

Why I Am Sick of Picking Sides

What sides? Fat or Thin. I am so SICK of talking about fat and thin.  And having to play on one team or the other. Okay, so I’ve never actually been asked to play on the Skinny Team. With the thin people.  Like, ever.  And being in a mind-F sport of fitness like triathlon… well, […]
