2018 Ironman Augusta 70.3 Race Report – The Swim Bike Mom Version
Last year when I crossed the finish line at Ironman 70.3 Augusta (2017), I would have bet high and good money that it would be my last Augusta. I had said the same thing in 2016. #whoops I literally said to the Expert: “NEVER again!” (both years). And the only real reason? I was just […]

Ironman 70.3 Augusta 2017: The Swim Bike Mom Race Report
I am at a loss for words on my fourth Augusta 70.3 experience. (Long pause… okay, nah. I am never at a loss for words.) As I scooted down the last two miles of the course, I was overwhelmed with this amazing sense of peace and happiness, because I was certain it would be my […]

EVERYTHING New on Race Day – St. Anthony’s Triathlon Race Report 2017
A friend of a friend asked me a few months ago, “Do you have any interest in racing St. Anthony’s Triathlon?” It was late February, I think, and I really did not have any interest in driving to Florida, doing an Olympic, in the heat, especially before Chattanooga 70.3. BUT. I started thinking. I loved that race. […]

*Note: This post was written before the recent events in Dallas. On July 4th each year, Atlanta is the home to the world’s largest 10k race – the Peachtree Road Race.

I Raced (Sort of): The 2016 PT Solutions Allatoona Swim Bike Mom Race Report
This was my third year completing the PT Solutions Allatoona Sprint Triathlon. And I had the kind of day, where I thought: I am not even writing a race report about this one. But then I realized that I was being a brat. (Still am, actually. But here’s the report anyway… in spite of myself). […]
