I know I have reasons (excuses?) why this one didn't go as well as I'd like, but here I am nearly two weeks later and I can't remember what they are.I had taken a much-needed vacation with m… Read More

My little Bean's umbilical hernia surgery was that morning (arrival time: 6 AM) and Master's swim class with Tri-Faster was the previous morning (arrival time: 5:45 AM) so sleep was scarce… Read More

This is the only race (or in this case "ride") I've registered for where a lottery system determines if you're in. And I really wanted this one. I grew up in Mt. Horeb and the area is heavil… Read More

I haven't swam in nearly a year, open water or otherwise. And an aquathon with its thousand-meter swim and 5K run takes out the middle part in which I've grown to gain ground. But I've got t… Read More
Waterloo Fit City Triathlon--8/11/13
2014-06-23 01:58
To end my stellar tri season I was hoping to feed my obsession for more hardware (an obsession that had begun with a 2nd/AG finish at this very race last year).  So when the email arriv… Read More

I remember feeling like I'll be back after last year's Delafield Du, and winning my AG didn't hurt either. It still had the hometown feeling a scrappy little race can provide. The course its… Read More

Coming fresh off a new Half-Marathon PR, I was ready to start the race season.  I'd spent the long winter months changing deeply set (and deeply bad) eating habits and working out relig… Read More
Waterloo Fit City Triathlon--8/12/12
2012-08-13 20:54
Not wanting my season to end quite yet, I pondered the list of upcoming races that fell on an open weekend and wouldn't use up my entire birthday earnings or require a drive longer than an h… Read More

I signed up for this one a week or so in advance, drawn by the small size (only seven in my AG last year!  Hardware, maybe?), and only slightly daunted by the bike route's sell (On the… Read More

I have several ways I mentally approach an upcoming race--usually it's "PR would be great", sometimes "Do better than last year", maybe even "Get through it" or "Don't fall down".  I al… Read More
Devil's Lake Triathlon--9/18/11
2012-06-22 02:41
You wouldn't know it from reading here, but I've done Devil's Lake twice.  The first was in 2010, the Fall after the girls had arrived.  Training had dwindled to one or two short w… Read More

The First Year was a whirlwind, chaos. The girls arrived and we spent most of our brain- and bodypower trying to figure out how to fill and feed bottles, bathe, diaper, play, put to bed (t… Read More

A sprint tri is usually over and done in less than two hours. The elites, first-timers, recreational athletes, age-groupers, and anywhere in between race together in sprints.Not so for an o… Read More

With no authority whatsoever, I've assigned labels to my activity levels:"Training"--I have a specific race for which I am motivated to perform well. I most likely follow a plan that dictat… Read More

It was February and I was deep in off-season base training. I had my whole race season mapped out with a half-marathon in May to kick it off, four or five triathlons (mostly sprints, one ol… Read More

For every race up until this point, I was able to look back upon its completion and name at least one thing I should have done differently.Lake Mills tri--Worn arm warmersCamp Whitcomb tri… Read More

It's impossible to compare results from two different races--apples and oranges occur in course distances, terrain, transition area size, wave size...I could go on.Not this time.It's on.Self… Read More

My second attempt at this marathon, I felt extremely confident.  On the heels of a surprisingly successful race season my training was solid, my form lithe, my spirits high. I coul… Read More

I had done Tri-ing for Children's once before.  I signed up for the Olympic distance in 2010 and a few weeks later my two biggest fans arrived at my doorstep and training came to a scre… Read More

First tri of the season, first race without my lobster (home with tired kids), first time-trial start, first river swim with a current...I was anxious to feel the rush (literally) so I set u… Read More

I signed up for this race a day or two after barely missing my PR at Tyranena. I wasn't ready to leave the season without it. The course boasted "flat and fast" and the starting line was a c… Read More
2006-06-07 11:16
I love this race. The people are friendly, the course is varied and interesting, the post-race food and drink highly motivating, the weather is...weather. I've done Tyranena in bitter cold a… Read More
2006-06-07 11:16
I like half marathons. The distance is short enough to not be painstaking yet long enough to provide a bit of a challenge. This wasn't an "A" race this season, more like a chance to get out… Read More
2006-06-07 11:16
The recurring lesson of the summer came to a head at this race--my feelings of competency in the sport are currently based on the company I keep. During the school year (off-season) I'm with… Read More
