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???

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...

Swimming in Germany - Lakes Galore

Baggersee Weingarten Let's see.... I've been in Germany now for 4 weeks and have had the privilege to swim in 5 different lakes. Let me count how many times I have swum in a lake in Arizona since moving there 2 years ago... That would be 1 time in Lake Mary during the MountainMan. And I am not planning on swimming in it again until this year's MountainMan. As you might have already guessed:  I am in heaven !  Baggersee Weingarten So are the kids. Appropriately dressed in German swim wear.  That's my mom next to me in the picture above. You see where I get it... Growing up we would either go on a hike or bike ride every weekend and take a dip in various lakes along the way. Good memories!  My niece Lynn at Bad Waldsee This lake was especially fun. It was basically at the center of a beautiful old little town. I saw people walk out their front door and go for a little swim. No motorized anything allowed as on most lakes here. Pl...

NO Race Report: IRONMAN LAKE TAHOE 2014

This is how gorgeous it COULD have been...  I wake up at 3:30 and I smell smoke .  Inside the house through closed windows.  CRAP!  No need to even take a peek through the blinds.  I knew there was a good chance this would happen after seeing the smoke roll back in the night before but I was hoping for the best... only to wake up to the worst.  Thursday , when we rolled into town, the air was terrible.  Like the-minute-I-got-out-of-my-car-I-got-a-headache terrible. But there was hope because, hey, winds change and firefighters are hard at work and there were more than two days left before the race!  This is what Thursday evening looked like down by the lake:  I didn't do much that night. Just a a very easy little jog along the beach to shake out the legs after a day of driving. And super short swim because I couldn't wait any longer to swim in that beautiful lake !!! But then, of course, I got wimpy again...
