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 […]

One Word

I have admittedly gone through a bunch of changes in the last year and a half, and most notably in the last year, I would say. (Giving up booze and quitting a legal career in search of another life that is completely uncertain–just to name a “few” changes.) And now, while I sit here on […]

Give Me 5 Minutes and I’ll give you a PR

(Or tell you how not to PR. #YoureWelcome) I am talking to myself this morning, and thinking:  Make up yer damn mind, Mere!   I am in a state of wishy-washy—not about many things, truly–but for shizzle about one thing. And that is RACING.  I don’t know what is going on with me. I love training […]

Running Andy Potts’ Life

…Okay, so maybe not his life. BUT. I am taking over Andy’s whole Facebook page tomorrow Friday, August 28th — ALL. DAY. LONG! Who knows what kind of shenanigans will happen! Who knows what kind of trouble Swim Bike Mom will get into!  {Okay, okay. No trouble here.} But everyone knows that I am one of […]

Getting to Know Andy Potts

First of all, I cannot believe that this happened. What a GREAT weekend–thank you All3Sports, Dynamo and Andy Potts–not only did I get to meet my favorite boy triathlete, but I learned SO much. Between the Q&A last night and the Swim Clinic today, I’m just blown away. So thank you all. The Q&A at […]
