Triathlon Legend, Chrissie Wellington on The Same 24 Hours Podcast

For me, Chrissie Wellington is the epitome of heart, grace, athletic prowess, mental toughness …and kindness. I was inspired by Chrissie from the second I entered the sport of triathlon–and I continue to be inspired by her to this day. Her new book, To the Finish Line : A World Champion Triathlete’s Guide to Your Perfect […]

The Voice of IRONMAN: Mike Reilly on the Podcast

“You are an IRONMAN!” Anyone who has dreamed of that finish line has also dreamed of those words being shouted at their finish—and if you are very lucky, by the man himself, Mike Reilly. In IRONMAN races, a race consisting of a 2.4 mile swim, a 112 mile bike ride and a 26.2 mile marathon […]

Running after a Half Ironman

Marathon Training Update With Ironman 70.3 Augusta quickly in the rear view mirror, I was jolted back to marathon-training reality with a 6 mile run yesterday—four days after 70.3.  For some, that might not be a big deal, but that’s the soonest I have done any sort of speed interval run after a half iron. […]

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 […]

Finishing in the Dark, Finding the Light

Adapted from Triathlete Article Our two kiddos were around the wee ages of four and five during the year I tackled my first Ironman in Couer d’Alene. Now, I don’t recommend trying to do the insanity that is Ironman training with a four and five year-old, a full-time job, and all the responsibilities that come […]

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 […]

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 […]

Use YOUR Yardstick

Progress is a funny thing. Progress is also difficult thing to define. (Yes, really). If you are training for triathlons as a wife and mom of three kids, and spending time away from your kids, is that really progress? What if you are working on your marriage so damn hard that you never hit your […]
