A Dream Training Weekend

Hey folks! Virginia, here. I JUST got back from an awesome weekend of training, training, training, and it was JUST what I needed right now. This awesome training weekend was sponsored by TriCoachGeorgia.com and was designed as a training/preview weekend for the Augusta 70.3 Ironman in September. To back things up, I have to say […]

MOVIN’ Through Summer

Hi folks! Virginia here, SBK. It has been a while since I have blogged….for several reasons. First, in the weeks leading up to Meredith’s big IRONMAN, I wanted to make sure I didn’t “cloud” her BIG news with my little updates. Second, IT IS SUMMER…and life is just so busy. BUT…I’m back, with FULL force, […]

Recovery Ride

SBK Virginia here… Today I had a wonderful recovery ride. Now, normally “recovery” means that you’ve had a hard workout….but this recovery ride was about recovering my mental well-being. After the crash that my son took the other day and the death of the rider in my home town, I was super nervous about riding. […]

Life is Good…Enjoy the Ride

Greetings! Virginia here for SBK. This week I am on vacation at Edisto Beach in South Carolina. We take this vacation each year with my parents and sister. It is always a great time full of family, food, and sun. This year it also coincides with the start of my 16 week training plan for […]

My little triathletes…my heroes!

It was awesome. We didn’t know this, but this is actually the largest kids triathlon in the nation. There […]

No answers…and I’m ok with that!

Hi World! Virginia here! Since my last post, I have not figured out my “what’s next” issue. I have looked around A LOT, but I don’t have any real answers. Someone suggested the Beach to Battleship, which I would LOVE to do because I’ve read great reviews, but I can’t do it because I can’t […]

Searching for the next….

Hey all! Virginia here… This time last week (7:30 am Sunday morning), I was finished with the swim and making my way out onto the bike. It has only been one week. ONE WEEK. With the craziness of end of school work and end of school mommying, it feels as if it has been weeks […]
