The life of a cat-loving triathlete
Now I consider myself a sort of connoisseur of water, if you will. I mean I DO work in the water division at EPA, and I used to swim, and I regularly bathe in water. BUT I’m here to talk about drinking water! So I have always loved drinking water. The only other thing besides… Continue reading WATER!
How did I get into triathlons? Probably the same way people get into heroin I guess. I kept doing running races but I just needed MORE. It all started when I was five years old. That’s when my swimming career began. Man, I loved swimming. Some may say I was obsessed. I was pretty decent… Continue reading My Triathlon Story
My race schedule is almost completely official! Two days ago I signed up for the Flying Pig half marathon, which will be my 5th half. I finally also decided which half Ironman I’m going to do this summer. DRUM ROLL PLEASE… Ironman 70.3 Steelhead! I also signed up for this one on Monday! I really,… Continue reading My Current Training Situation
So I just posted this morning about becoming AN IRONMAN ALL WORLD ATHLETE!! That is so exciting!! That basically means I get to wear a fancy swim cap during races and cut in line during race registration. I’ll probably just roll up to races in a limo wearing a full length mink coat and have… Continue reading 2018 Race Plans
Last Friday, I got the MRI on my pelvis. The last/ only MRI I have ever had before that was on my knee, so during that MRI, only half my body had to go into the machine. If you have never seen an MRI machine before, it’s basically this giant ass tube-like structure with a… Continue reading That MRI though

Let me tell you A LOT has changed since then! I will consider that day a turning point in my life. Okay like not really.… Continue reading Race/ injury report
I can’t believe how many people have asked me advice on running and triathlons! It makes me so happy because I really like helping people and also really like talking about running and triathlons (I try not to talk about them constantly during my day to day life because I don’t want to sound like… Continue reading Run like United Airlines wants your seat
So I ran my first marathon two days ago and it hurt like a bitch. But like in a good way I guess. I was moderately well-trained for this race. I say “moderately” because I had to take about two weeks off in mid-march due to some weird hip flexor issue that started after running… Continue reading My first marathon
Ironman Florida 70.3 was so much fun! I don’t know if it was the race itself, or because I was in Florida and with my family. We ate like fatties all week at so many great restaurants, went to the beach, played mini golf, and a went to a trivia night. Maybe it was all… Continue reading Florida 70.3 Race Report
WOW. It has been a long ass time since I have written! I keep thinking about doing it but then I end up online shopping or eating instead! My last blog post was before I HAD EVER DONE A TRIATHLON in early June. I am seriously the worst I know. So. I decided I will… Continue reading 2016 Triathlon Recap
