A Low Speed Tip Over! So What?

This was a great share from my friend, Yoda… the 7 Habits of People with Mental Toughness. I read it this afternoon coming off an almost-50-mile ride with Coach Brett where I almost broke apart and into a million little pieces. And I had a Low Speed Tipover (LST) at a stop light.  We were […]

The Same Silver Comet Curse and a Constant Balancing Act

Awesome! Oh. Wait. Now what?!?   Teaching a class!? Oh my lawd. While I wonder if I will ever have […]

How to Speak Triathlon (and a few SBM terms!)

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 […]
