Beautiful Backroads, Bikes, Beer…

Big training week just happened, and I appear to be somewhat on a recovery week, since I only have 6 hours of training on my schedule. With the Expert traveling to Canada this week for work, I am grateful to Coach Brett for the recovery. A little midday half marathon on Thursday.  Ran into pro […]

Just Keep Rolling Some Nuts…

With 39 days left to my next 140.6, I decided it was time to roll some nuts. What??! Well, with most of my training buddies just days away from Ironman Chattanooga, I didn’t really have anyone who wanted to go ride 100 miles with me on a Saturday.  So I decided to drive four hours […]

The First 100 of 2014

To mark the anniversary of my one-week tumble down the stairs, I decided to ride a century (100 miles) with Yoda on Saturday. My feet were still hurting, but I thought, why the hell not.   Plus, Yoda has Ironman Choo in a few weeks, so I knew it was my last chance to get in […]

Walk Softly, Have Hope

This is a good reason to be an early morning triathlete.  The view on the way to ride yesterday.  Ahhhh… Oh, yes. My feet still hurt like hell. The Swim Bike Boy Child said, “Mom, that foot looks like a dead foot.” I don’t disagree with him.   I mean, look at it. I feel […]

“You are a Beast” …and a Birthday!

Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday DEAR BLOG…. Happy birthday to you! Swim Bike Mom started four years ago today, with a simple post. A few simple words.  Which just could have been a whole lotta hot air. I have decided to become a Triathlete. So simple, yet so monumental.  Yes, the birth of […]

Don’t Be That Person

Hey Guys! Todd here! I really want to write about how wonderful the Ride for a Reason was this weekend… however, there is something that I need to get off my chest. (I’ll write about the event next time, but will include this lovely picture with Sher and Sam!) Something occurred during the ride in […]

The Big Sister

When the Swim Bike Family moved to Roswell, I didn’t realize that we would have some of Georgia’s “finest” riding places. (e.g., more hills and climbing and roads than you can shake a stick at.) Back in July of 2012, I rode the Georgia 400 Metric Century – which was shockingly shocking to my baby […]

74 Days, Ride for a Reason and Love Muffins

The official race day countdown to Beach 2 Battleship 140.6 is 74 days. [Insert SCREAM of TERROR here.] I feel like once a countdown creeps under 80 days, sh*t gets real. Oh, and I feel the “realness” of my race registration compulsions.   I start to think, why oh why did I sign up for this […]

A Pro, a Presh, a Pedicure… and Training!

One of my athletes, Precious, came all the way from New York to join us for the the tri clinic on Saturday!  And she stayed at the Swim Bike House… and even watched the Swim Bike Kids on Saturday night for date night.  That’s right – the SBM Royal Treatment.  I introduced her to Sweet […]
