This weekend included lots of swimming, and riding. On Saturday, I was supposed to ride for about 6 hours. It was freaking cold out. I believe it was foggy and about 42 degrees. That doesn’t sound too bad if you are running, but it is bone chilling when you are riding your bike. And I [...]

I’m not going to lie. Last week was not a good week. My babies (2 youngster weims) broke out of yard (chewed through two fences) 3 times last week, and work just flat out sucked. I wish that I could tell you more about work and my thoughts on it, but considering I would like [...]

There was some weight lifting, swimming, running, and cycling happening this weekend, and I loved/hated every minute of it. Do you ever [...]

When I saw this pic, I realized that I should probably trim my helmet strap. Oops. Give me a break! This is my 3rd helmet this year so far due to a very persistent puppy! Where have I been? Working my butt off! My new job is slowly sucking the life from me, but I [...]

Racing this year feels so different from previous years.  The sick nervousness that used to plague me before races has become a distant memory.  I was happy and relaxed at this triathlon.  Granted, all my races have been short little things so far.  The only tris that I have done this year have been sprints.

Riding High

I’m hoping you think that I’ve been riding my bike a lot from the title of this post, NOT riding while high. I’m a cheap date, remember? And I’m clumsy. This is a bad combination on a bike. Wow. I’m totally going off on a tangent. Oops. I miss you guys. Blogging has taken a [...]
