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 […]

Ready to Start Owning It? This Post is for YOU.

Today I have a guest post from someone who I admire tremendously, and who really knows her stuff—between the ears. She’s a peak performance mindset coach (she’s on the way to being my new Tony. 🙂 )  And how much of what we do in life (and triathlon) is about our mental state!? (Um, the […]
