Why do an Indoor Triathlon?

 


One of my favorite things about Triathlon is the community!  Even though this is a community of athletes, from beginner to elite, they are not elitists.  You will never meet a more welcoming group of people... ever.  This has been proven to me in multiple states, multiple races, multiple distances, and every age!  If you want to feel uplifted, participate in a triathlon!!

The second biggest reason I love triathlon is the feeling of accomplishment!  The feeling I get for completing 3 sports in one day... but also the feeling you get when you see others finish!  I am always so inspired by watching other triathletes overcome their own challenges and crush their own goals!  That "finish line" feeling is like no other and I love to share it with others!!

If you are local to me, here is a great way to do your first (or hundredth)! Have you heard of an indoor triathlon before?  Triathlete magazine did a write-up on indoor tris here

When you do an indoor triathlon with a set time in each discipline, you set your own pace.  You decide if you water walk, backstroke, freestyle, or breaststroke in the water.  You decide how fast to ride on the spin bike.  You decide if you walk or run on the treadmill.  Transition times are set, so you don't have to practice getting from one sport to the next.  You report your total distances for overall results... or don't report if you don't want to.  This indoor triathlon is for YOU!  In an hour, you will be a triathlete!  You'll even have a t-shirt, swim cap, and finisher medal to prove it!

Who's ready to TRI?

Sponsor-A-Mile: 70.3 World Championships in St. George, Utah

  It is almost time for the BIG ONE!  The race that I have been fundraising for and working towards since November of last year: the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championships in St. George, Utah!  As an Ironman Foundation Ambassador, all of my Ironman brand races have me RACING FOR MORE, but this one is the pinnacle.  I am proud to be representing IMF and all of the good that can come from their initiatives.  With that in mind, I am asking you to sponsor a mile during this race.   For each of my IRONMAN races this year, I have taken your inspiration and printed it on tattoo paper to put on my arms and legs so that I can see it while I am riding and running.  When the going gets tough, these notes remind me that I am doing the race for more than myself!   Will you consider sponsoring a mile to help MAKE AN IMPACT and leave a quote or advice to inspire me during 70.3 St. George on October 28, 2022? Here is how: 1.  Choose the mile(s) you'd like to sponsor below.   *link to this spreadsheet

IM70.3 Puerto Rico Race Report

 " Why did you choose this race?"  Before we could talk about race and nutrition plans, Coach Sami asked me that question.  I 100% chose it for the destination and the vacation Mark and I would have after the race in San Juan.  What a great perspective to tuck away for race day! Mark and I got to San Juan on Thursday afternoon and checked into our VRBO on Condado beach.  I chose this location because of the view... and its proximity to swim start.  It was a bit of a hike to get to the athlete's village and transition, but still doable which made everything easier than trying to deal with the traffic in San Juan!   Friday and Saturday, I got checked-in.  Rode my bike a couple of times on the super SAFE green paths found near transition.  I swam with several other athletes and ran in the middle of the day to TRY to acclimate a little to the heat and humidity.  I met tons of Team Zoot and Ironman Foundation Teammates.  I stuck to my nutrition plan with pasta on Friday and Wa
