Last weekend I participated in the first 70.3 race in St. George, Utah. It was a fantastic weekend. There was an entire tribe of Salt Lake City triathletes down for the race. On Thursday, the Salt Lake Tri Club organized a Q&A with pro triathletes Ali Black, Andy Potts, and Lesley Patterson, which was a [...]

It’s been a great couple of days here in St. George — especially if you are a tri fan. ALL THE PROS ARE HERE!!! If you’re interested, the race is going to be truly epic, incredibly competitive, and beautiful. And, Craig Alexander will be on the play by play (I really wish I could watch [...]

Read this great race recap from rookie pro Ali Black from her Oceanside experience. One thing I love about triathlon, not everything goes your way. You learn a lot about yourself when you have to deal with the unexpected! Not the race you were hoping for Ali, but a great one just the same!

There is a strong Utah contingent at tomorrow’s IronMan OceanSide 70.3, including Utah’s newest pro Ali Black (twitter: @AliBlack4). Ali is a mother of four and a rookie pro triathlete making her debut at tomorrow’s race. She’s a new pro but will be no pushover — she was the 31st overall female at Kona last [...]

Last weekend I competed in IronMan Coeur D’Alene, my 3rd IronMan. Every race you learn a few new things about yourself and about racing, and this one was no exception. Overall the race went almost perfectly — except for the fact that my fitness wasn’t quite where it needed to be. Race morning started early, [...]

We’ve had a great time here in Coeur D’Alene. Met a few friends from Utah here, and got to meet a few online friends I’d never met in person too! Today, we did the bike check-in. I have a perfect spot literally feet from the bike exit. Then, we drove the course — beautiful. All [...]

Saturday I raced the Daybreak Sprint Tri. It was a nice taper-period workout, and a good time since a lot of my fellow IronMan CDA participants were there. I had Michelle on the cowbell, and my mom cheering me on, so that was fun! And, I was able to pull-off a 2nd place overall spot [...]

I’ll have to wait another year to get my revenge on the Boise course after last year’s crash. This year it was just too close to my planned IronMan CDA event. But, to all those in the local crew in Boise — have a great race! Getting my fingers warmed up for IronMan Tracker. There’s [...]

Tune in, it’s the last one ever. I’ll be down there cheering people on, taking photos, and tweeting away. Say hi if you see me. [...]

I’ve read a few race reports from last weekend’s Leadman 125 in Las Vegas, and they all agree — super-easy! Just a walk in the park! Except that the park was characterized by screaming winds, baking sun, and huge whitecaps. Last Saturday’s Leadman 125 was hands-down the hardest race I’ve ever done. It was also [...]
