Aaah. It instantly made me reflect back to how lucky I was to have had my husband and daughter as my #1 Support Crew for both of my Ironman races, and also my friend Kimberly and her daughter who joined them for my first one. While I remember being flooded with gratitude at the time...
Even swimming twice a week started to show improvements for my times in the pool, I really must spread the word about training for one of these races, it’s a revelation to me that training improves performance and speeds you up. Training – Aug 17th – Oct 4th So, all that ramble to...

Finish line hugs are the best hugs, and I feel so lucky that I have a great friend who loves to suffer through these races with me!! I ended up with a PR on the day, and was faster in all three disciplines in Maryland than in Texas in 2018. I dug as deep as I could in this...
Giant Acorn is one of several races that take place at Lake Anna in Spotsylvania, VA. It’s an easy 90ish minute drive (at least at 4am) from DC. The swim is pleasant – though there was admittedly some brain-munching bacteria taking kids out earlier in the summer – and the bike ...
Given my snooze alarms were still working quite well, another whack was in order, bringing me to 5:11AM before I finally started to contemplate doing something. Since Ironman races basically require you to have virtually everything set the day before, I really didn’t have anything to do ...
