Amy’s Inspiration
Here’s a clip from a Swim Bike Mom friend, Amy, who sent me her inspirational fitness and triathlon story. I wanted to pass along. We all love good before & after pics, right? You guys enjoy! My Triathlon Experience – by Amy Baker The personal journey toward my first triathlon started in March of 2010. […]
Update on My Fatness
I hope someday to have a post which reads: “Update on My Six Pack” (which doesn’t mean my Heineken Light). For now, this type of title will have to suffice. Today was Day Four of eating as I have been prescribed. Which is quite remarkable considering that two of the four days stretched over a weekend. I […]
Yargo
The Expert and I went to Fort Yargo State Park in Winder, Georgia for our swim/bike brick this morning. We have never been to Fort Yargo for a swim, but they hold all sorts of races out there, and it is super close to our house, so we ventured. At 6:15 this morning, the Expert […]
13.1 and Done
In honor of the one year of craziness, I went even more crazy today. My scheduled 11 mile run turned into 13.1 – the half marathon distance – and the distance I will allegedly cover on the last third of the Half Ironman (creeping up in the 63 days). I won’t lie and say it […]
Happy 1st Birthday!
…to SwimBikeMom.com! Okay, so it seems a little stupid to wish my blog a Happy Birthday. But this is a big first birthday! (Where’s my fancy cake with a candle? Oh that’s right. No more cake….) This time last year, I drafted my first post. I slept on the craziness of it. I published the […]
What the Nutritionist Said…
“STOP EATING, YOU ARE A COW.” Okay, I’m kidding. But she did listen carefully to my tales of eating woes (and eating everything in sight), and likened my “grazing” to a cow. And how in the world can cows get fat on grass? Well, because they eat all day long (in my case, all […]
Have Bike Must Travel
I kind of forgot that not must the Expert and I ship ourselves to Miami for the race in nine weeks… but we have to also get the bikes there. D’oh. The options appear to be as follows: Drive the car with the bikes from Atlanta to Miami (not preferred, since we already have our […]
Tomorrow, I Love Ya, Tomorrow…
Tomorrow is the day. Appointment with the nutritionist. I am giving up and begging for help. I cannot do it alone. I am hoping that she gives me helpful advice, and doesn’t just instantly produce wires to clamp my jaws shut. Sixty-six days until 70.3. Eeeeek. I have actually done pretty well eating-wise this week, with the […]
Race Report: Charlie Rocks Chisago 70.3
Race report time again! Here’s a recent report from SBM friend, Charlie and her first 70.3 at Chisago Lakes Half Iron!! She rocked the race, and she says “maybe” she’ll think about a full iron distance someday. I am putting money on “someday” being more like 2012. Charlie and her husband, Kevin (“Kdog”) are destined to be […]
