Today was swim day. I’ve been training in our local lake and trying to build my distance. So far I’ve only made it around half the lake. Today, I went further and did most of the lake. I took a short cut at the south west corner and another at the north east corner. Still […]
While I was on vacation I did so much swimming I thought maybe I could do a short triathlon so I signed up for the Chestermere Tri it distance. I had done the sprint there in 2011 and loved it so why not. As part of the GCC I posted my tri report in hopes […]
I had signed up as a volunteer to help Deanne out. However, when I contacted Deanne about more details for the Strathmore Ladies Triathlon she asked me if I wanted to swim as part of a relay team. Only 500m so while I hadn’t been in the pool for a month, I figured why not. […]
Ok, I’ve backdated this one to Aug 1st. The Viterra IM 70.3 Calgary took place on July 31st. My role as volunteer coordinator begins earlier in the year. I monitor the database, making changes, etc as requested by the rest of the committee. I tweet and pretty much beg for volunteers to sign up where […]
Okay official results are in. There was one DNF and I came in last. Oh well, no biggy, I finished. My Sprint tri last year was 2:39:08 so not a sprint PB but as was a new course and not technically the same as last year’s sprint, it’s technically a PB…lol Over all time 2:47:15 […]
One could easily of named today’s post – “Found my Mojo”. It was there all along at the bottom of my transition bag. Found it as I unpacked things to set up for today’s awesome triathlon. I’m gonna appologize right now cause I will likely over use the word awesome. Can’t help myself, it was […]
I had such high hopes for race day, June 18th but well it just wasn’t my day. Rather then rewrite things the best way to sum up the day was the email I sent to my coach after returning home. Today was a DNF. I had a good swim. Not sure but I think I […]
The swim – most nervous about getting in and out of my wetsuit. The one Brian set aside is a good fit but we took a long time getting me in it. Out wasn’t so bad. My time in the water will be whatever it ends up being. While I didn’t swim as often this […]
Okay, not sure I mentioned this but well I hired a coach. It’s not that I mind so much being slow but well even us slowpokes want to improve. I needed an extra push, a tad more motivation, you know someone to kick me in the butt (and it’s a big target, no way she […]
4th tri of the season is now in the books. Sunday was an early morning. The Chaparral Triathlon is in the south end of town and I’m way up in the north end. The Chaparral Tri offers 3 different races – Tri – it, Sprint and Olympic. I opted to do the sprint distance cause […]
