Recharging

As all of my last few posts have reported on racing or crazy training events, it's safe to say that is what we have been up to!

While Shane & I are more than happy with the progress we have both made, PR's in our races we are also starting to feel the effects. It's a tough one. Tell the coach to back down, or suck it up and keep going?!

Well, thankfully we have a trip coming up in a couple days and even though the coach has a run/open water swim on the schedule for EVERY.SINGLE.DAY... we are going to "edit" that just a leetle bit.

See, thing is something about the ocean air, the sandy beach, the juicy shrimp and cold cervesas - it's just what my body is calling for. To top it off, we have some VERY special friends joining us and I couldn't be MORE thrilled.

First off my girl Shelby and her husband Tall Matt are coming all the way from Seattle to play with us. Shelby was there on my first or second ever trip to RP for the triathlon/10k like 7 years ago. I've been DYING to get her back. And, it just so happens that Matt signed up for Ironman Cozumel so of course I used that as a ploy to get them to Mexico. You know cause we can practice ocean swimming and running in the heat and everything.

Can't WAIT Shelb!

To join us for a couple of days Angie, my very first friend from AZ is coming. She & Shelby were roommates for a bit while Shelby lived in AZ. They were playing hard when I was in the newlywed stage - so I didn't play too much. I think I might have some making up to do this weekend. Just sayin....



My girl Amanda is also going to join us. I am so lucky to have met her just a few weeks ago when she joined us in Rocky Point for the tri. Now we've been riding together every week and it's always so great to have another person out there with you! I'm not sure if she knows what she's in for... but she's soon to find out!


So - as you can see I am beyond excited. My body is tired, and my mind is more than ready for my second home. My place. Bub's beach......

I hope that instead of feeling like this....


We will be spending our time like this......



and this...


And we will come back rested, recharged, bendered and ready for Deuces Wild Triathlon on June 5th!

And of course - the dogs are crazy excited to be at their favorite place in the world... with all the ladies :-)

Kona 23'

It's been a while! I started this blog/journal to document training adventures for my first Ironman in 2007. It was a fun adventure and *back then* blogging was the social media of today. It connected me with so many special people that I met and continue to keep in contact with (albeit, not enough). Life got busy, training was more of a lifestyle then a new adventure and sharing my daily with the world became just, well irrelevant. While so much has changed since my last post, there is still a lot of the same. My love for swimming, biking and running, dogs and wine is still there, but my desire to keep pushing and find new boundaries has definitely faded. Over 20 years in this endurance world I've found more in myself then I ever dreamed possible. I've met the most amazing people and traveled to beautiful places.  In 2021 after several years of pandemic chaos, I brought myself back to top end fitness and lined up for my 14th Ironman and 8th IMCDA. I had a solid day, 6th in

Happy Birthday to me.....

NO I'm not 30 QUITE yet..... BUT, I already got my first birthday present....:-) You all know I love me some RED. Kinda like SHE loves her some Pink. Except, I don't have to wear it every day. My bike isn't red (although it would be so cool if it were). I do however have: a red wall kitchen red (black & white) dishes a new red phone sassy red shoes a red wallet but... the one thing I've been waiting for.... a NEW RED HANDBAG ! I've been checking this site obsessively for a new season of RED to come out. And wouldn't you know.. the new season is here, and it was FULL OF RED. And, not the flashy fire red , but the pretty dark deep red that I love.... And then.. wouldn't you know it... a couple days after said find, I get a preferred customer coupon in the mail for 25% off.... If only the timing weren't so bad. If only I still wasn't making up for my IM expenses. If only it were MY birthday this month not his . After about a week of obsessi

All about the SHOES

Well, I'm pretty sure that title grabbed a few of my fellow shoe whores :-) Unfortunately, this isn't a post about some really cool new shoes , or boots I purchased, or received... or even HAVE for that matter. Boo hoo. I would love me some new shoes though. Something about fall and cute new pumps that go perfect with Jeans. You know, for all those time I shower, and actually blow dry my hair.... and try to remember how to put make on and all. Whatever, you get the point. No cute new shoes. Blah. Bet Shane read the title and thought I ordered myself something online... again :-) Anyway, this post is about RUNNING shoes. Boring, I know.. but, probably one of the single most important things to being a successful, injury free runner (you know, cause I'm all of that and all - ha!).... I've been thru it all. Several running assessments, orthotics, Adidas, Nike, Saucony, Brooks... you name it, I've probably tried it (remember, shoes we are talking about here people). In
