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 […]

I Raced an Indoor Tri (and I Totally WON)

Okay, so maybe I didn’t win the Indoor Triathlon.  But I was winning in my head.  And sometimes? That’s all that matters! An indoor triathlon is a not-your-typical-variation of the triathlon. It has three “events” – the swim, bike and run – but it’s usually held in a fitness club or gym for a few reasons: Ease of […]

Jeff Galloway 13.1 in Atlanta

What a great day (and cold) to run a half marathon in Atlanta… plus, I never want to miss an opportunity to race something that involves the amazing Jeff Galloway. Put the JG 13.1 race on your list for the following reasons: beginner-friendly run-walk super friendly great run-walk pace groups too hilly but lots of […]

Well, we did it. Team Logan crossed the finish line at “the People’s Marathon” — Marine Corps Marathon in Washington, D.C. — on Sunday, October 22, 2017 as a part of the Kyle Pease Foundation. We “beat the bridge” at Mile 20 by the cutoff, we crossed “the gauntlet” (Mile 22), and we made it […]

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 […]

Finishing in the Dark, Finding the Light

Adapted from Triathlete Article Our two kiddos were around the wee ages of four and five during the year I tackled my first Ironman in Couer d’Alene. Now, I don’t recommend trying to do the insanity that is Ironman training with a four and five year-old, a full-time job, and all the responsibilities that come […]

Party in the Back! Peachtree Road Race 2017 – The Swim Bike Mom Report

Anyone who lives in Atlanta, Georgia knows that the term “Hotlanta” (while annoying) is also a fairly accurate description of our fair city. And you gotta love heading out for a race and hearing, “This is the hottest day of the year so far!” Aw, come on, Hotlanta. The AJC Peachtree Road Road Race is the world’s […]

Ironman Boulder Brothers: Kyle and Brent Pease

Last week, I visited my favorite brothers, Kyle and Brent Pease, and got all the deets on their amazing feat at IRONMAN Boulder. The bros are BACK on the podcast, with the UPDATE from IRONMAN Boulder.  We have the scoop, we also have jokes, and then discuss what a “curb” is. 🙂 And then, like any […]

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. […]
