http://angesdrivetotri.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Find your Fire Within. Tuesday, August 27, 2013. It's a whole different level and kind of suffer to go that fast. I also ran the Beach2Beacon 10K a few weeks ago. of course it was a road race not a Tri but it counts for a race! This race was great on the one hand because it's in Maine and starts on a beach! In the end, we made it work. Cameron, my oldest, even decided to be my Sherpa! There and supporting me! It anymore. I live in the Lakes region and I have a camp on a lake. It's warm. And s...Seriously...

Find your Fire Within : Kona! 2014 Ironman World Championships
http://angesdrivetotri.blogspot.com/2014/10/kona-2014-ironman-world-championships.html
Find your Fire Within. Tuesday, October 21, 2014. 2014 Ironman World Championships. Ten days have passed since I raced in my 3rd Ironman World Championship. Only 10? A lot has happened in those 10 days so I guess it's no wonder I still feel like I go hit by a bus. I have so much to say and yet I am at a loss for words. The race report on this is going to be a slow release. I'll write in pieces as I feel like it and as I come up with the words to express the way I feel. Yes I was. Am I ok with that? Day I...

Find your Fire Within. Tuesday, May 21, 2013. Ironman Texas.the final hours. I think that's me right in the middle.looking up in the pink cap. I find it remarkable how the brain works. It's only Tuesday. It's a mere three days since my Ironman and yet some of the 'feelings'. Swimming through the canal on the final leg of the swim portion. That's me , closest to bottom. I have moments of thinking, " what happened? Why didn't I keep my pace up? Cameron, Nick and Tommy-cheering me through the canal. IF you ...

Find your Fire Within. Monday, June 10, 2013. A surprise came in the mail for me the other day. I just got back from a Field day with my 11 year old. I have about 15-20 minutes before I head off to pick all the kids up from school. I decided to write a Quick post rather than try to jump into full -on work since I don't have too much time. I had a few specific photos in mind of things we've been doing lately, but I can't find them! Yes Am I proud of that day? Yes How can I be both? I was at the pool this ...

http://angesdrivetotri.blogspot.com/2014/10/kona-part-3-when-game-changed.html
Find your Fire Within. Thursday, October 23, 2014. Kona- Part 3- When the game changed. Ironman is unpredictable. Ironman is long. Ironman is never straightforward. I always advise the athletes I coach to make "time" goals with caution. Triathlon is not like swimming, for example. I grew up swimming competitively and a 200Fly was a 200Fly. Sure, some pools were too warm or too shallow but you could always measure your race in pool A with the race in pool B on any day of the year. Let me back up-. It's al...

Find your Fire Within. Monday, October 27, 2014. The Final miles- Kona part 4- Time to find that Finish Line! With that. I will briefly tell my story from the final leg of my Ironman that day. the final 26.2 miles of the day. After handing my bike to the volunteer, I was off for a trip to the bathroom ( Phew! I was hydrated fairly well. This is a BIG deal in an Ironman and a Huge deal in an Ironman in the Hawaiian heat! The cheers coming out of the tent and onto the roads are uplifting. I felt good!

Find your Fire Within. Tuesday, June 10, 2014. Eagleman 70.3- My day to Fight back. Eagleman 70.3 has been a race I've thought about for a number of years. I've always known people racing there and heard stories about the flat but oh so. Windy and hot course. In addition, they have a few coveted Kona spots, so it's also super competitive. I have been drawn to new experiences and races over the past few years. I'm a bit tired. Maine has been cool and wet this spring. I think I had one. We left early Frida...

Find your Fire Within. Wednesday, December 11, 2013. Part 4 of my Ironman Cozumel Experience- The Final Chapter. The goals I set for myself when I race aren't necessarily private and personal, but I also don't talk about them a lot. If someone nails me down and I feel it's appropriate with that person, I may mention what times I want to hit or other details of my race plan. However, my reasons behind the goals are. Personal. The why. That is why the day after. The were just stiff and sore! I walked over ...

I'm not one of those people who counts down the days to events starting with 297. I just put my head down and train. month after month, week after week, day after day until. I traveled to the Lone Star state a few weeks ago to check out this foreign land. I plan to race in, next month. :). Here's what I learned. We bik...
