New 2012 Sponsor


I am proud and very happy to announce that 
I will be racing for 



this coming season! 

I still can't really believe that I made it onto their Team! 
It's going to be so much fun. 

I am stoked to be representing such a great store. 
I have only frequented them online but I can't wait
to go down to Tucson and see the actual store. 
From what I've heard and seen so far it is going to be fantastic!

One of the things I can't wait for is the 
TriFest!
TriSports.com is inviting all of their athletes 
down to Tucson for a training weekend in March. 
You know that there is nothing I love more
than hanging out with a bunch of fun athletes
while smashing myself. 
(If Coach M lets me. TriFest is the weekend before Oceanside.)

I am excited to race a little more in Arizona 
and get to know as many of its amazing athletes as possible. 
I am certainly a very small fish in a very big pond here!
As much as I love to train and race in Utah 
where I have so many dear friends and great fellow competitors, 
it is time to move on just a little... 

I can't end this post without sending a big 
Thank You to PowerTri 
for their support over the last 2 years. 
They helped me out in every way possible
 and I hope we will still be friends. 


It's about time to kick off the 2012 season 
with a little race this weekend - 
the St. George Halfmarathon!
Did I say it was time to move on...?
How could I possibly pass up the chance to go to 
one of my favorite places, hang out with amazing people, 
and (hopefully) redeem myself from last year? 
Is it Friday yet???

Racing Season '09

So far, this season has been really good . I have done 4 races and have been able to stand on top of the podium 4 times. Yeah! I am still far from where I could be and would like to be but, I guess, I'll take it. But I really need to get my act together... Having nice gear always helps, though. And, thanks to Salt Lake Running Company , I have plenty of it. Unfortunately, in January when they ordered our stuff, I had big plans and was hoping to be back in shape by May. Well, I am not. So most of the beautiful stuff they sent is just sitting in the closet waiting to be worn for the first time. My fault. Should have ordered a bigger size . Maybe next season. Luckily, the backpack fits! Noah loves the pink. So do I. These are the fanciest running shoes I have ever owned. I love them. They are so comfortable , really light , and super fast to put on. Sadly, I only get to wear them on race day. If they were not so expensive, I would get myself a pair just to wear around. Okay, not...

I am so lucky

I feel the need to write. My thoughts are all jumbled. Can I make sense of them on paper? Writin g gives me perspective and makes it easier to let go. Last weekend I was very frustrated, mad, self-centered, unhappy , wallowing in self-pity. This weekend I was more balanced, a little more patient, trying to be less selfish, happy . How did it happen? I have had to deal with myself for almost 30 years now and, luckily, have figured out a few things on the way. Like how to feel at peace with myself , my family , my life . It shouldn't be complicated to be happy in my circumstances. I realize that. But sometimes it still is. Sometimes being a mom and wife doesn't come easy to me. Sometimes I think everyone would be better off if I wasn't a mom and wife. Sometimes I wish it was easier to just take off and do nothing but swimbikeruneatsleep for a week or two. It's not helping that my German teammates are doing just that. Right now. On a beautiful island. In the warm...

It's Play Time

I love and believe what it says on my mountain bike: All Work and No Play is No Fun at All In college I was known for working hard AND playing hard and not much has changed. Ok, I'll face it. Everything as changed. But I still like to play. Hard. I got to spend last weekend in one my favorite playgrounds - St. George - and had so much fun! If you know me, you know how much it means to me to get away for a few days and have a little smashfest . I loved sharing the joy and pain with my friend, Leslie . Here's the game plan and how it unfolded: Thursday Lovely 4 hour drive. We talk , talk , talk , and talk some more. And then continue talking all weekend. Triathlon girl talk and triathlon mom talk for hours. Leslie has been in the sport for about as long as I have - 10+ years - is married and has 3 kids. As you can imagine, there is lots to talk about. Loved it. We arrived just in time to hit the Chuckawalla trails in the fading sunlight. I was (almost) wishing I had come to r...
