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?

Race Report: IM70.3 World Championships (St. George, UT) 2022

Shortly after racing IM70.3 North Carolina in 2021 as part of Team IMF (IRONMAN Foundation), I got a phone call from one of the Foundation staff members asking if I wanted to represent the Foundation in St. George at the IM70.3 World Championships in 2022. Having raced IM World Championship in Kona in a Charily Spot (for Women for Tri in 2016), I was excited about the prospect, but a little nervous that I could still fundraise at that level. The fundraising commitment for the 70.3 World Championships is $15,000 and I would have 10 months to get it done. Before I can tell you about the race and race week, I need to say THANK YOU!!!! As a community, we raised over $17,500 for the Ironman Foundation ! Whether you donated directly, sponsored or participated in my indoor triathlon, participated in my Top in Topsail Raffle, or Sponsored a Mile for one of my many races - THANK YOU!!! I would not have been able to get to this start line without your generosity! Your donations are bei

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.

2022 White Lake Fall International Aquabike Race Report

Pre-Race This was my third time racing at White Lake, but my first time in the fall and my first time doing it as an Aquabike. Since it is only 1.5 hours from the house, I just drive over the morning of the event and have plenty of time to get set up and get my goals posted. Here is what I posted this time: I posted 3 goals, two that were time goals, because that is what I always do... but I wasn't totally transparent in the post. I was doing this Aquabike race with ONE MISSION and that mission was to WIN! Earlier this year, I did my first Aquabike at the Crystal Coast Half Booty because a half marathon run was not smart that close to IM70.3 Virginia Blue Ridge, but I really wanted to do the race. While the finish line experience for Aquabike is still not the same as triathlon, it planted a bug in my brain since I am strongest at swimming and biking and I won that race. After chatting with friends that have been to WTC World's and stalking the USAT rankings , I knew
