  2. Direct Sellers Training - January 11, 2022: I am excited to share how to build relationships during your Facebook Mega Parties, leading to more sales, recruits, and FUN!  I will also share how to incorporate Fundraisers to grow your business.  Your donations will get you access to the live training on 1/11, a recording to review later, and even an opportunity to check back in with questions 3 weeks after the training, after you have implemented it into your business.  Email me if you want an invite to this training.
  3. Indoor Triathlon - February 2022: I am doing the groundwork for this event and am so excited to share it with everyone.  This event will be great for anyone curious to give triathlon a try in a non-threatening FUN (and warm) environment while also offering some awesome winter training for seasoned athletes.  Keep an eye on my blog for details as this comes together.  If you know any companies that would like to sponsor this event to be included on the event t-shirt, website, and good bags, email me!

How you can help:
  • Participate in the events above and encourage your friends and family to participate as well!
  • I will be doing online raffles in 2022. Donations of prizes are greatly appreciated. If you can donate items, I will gladly put a logo and a link on the advertisements for the raffle. 
  • I am looking for advertisers/sponsors for the indoor triathlon.  I have 3 levels of sponsorship available starting at $100.  Email me for details.

IM70.3 Eagleman 70.3: Lucky #13??

  TLDR: An 11-minute PR in my 13th 70.3!!  It definitely wasn't Lucky #13, though.  I did the work, collected the puzzle pieces, and was able to put them together on race day!!   Pre-Race I drove to Cambridge on Friday, which was the first day of my carb-loading plan.  Having taken the Carb-Loading Masterclass in The Triathlon Nutrition Academy and practicing/ramping it for several weeks.  I wrote my plan, packed a cooler, and got on the road!  I made it to town in time to check in, do my pre-race run, and swim familiarization.  On Saturday, I got up to do my pre-race safety check bike ride and then met up with fellow Team Zooters as they did their pre-race shake-out run.   Race Morning As usual, I set three goals for this race, but I needed to protect my mental game on the run.  So I only set the 3 goals for swim and bike.  Instead of a goal for the run, I made myself a promise.  At this race, I was also going to be...

IM70.3 Indian Wells 2022 Race Report

  Pre-Race On April 30th, Chris Kenon messaged me asking me to be her Battle Buddy and join her for this race.  If you know me, you know it did not take much thought before I was IN!  Travel + Triathlon = Happy Erin!!  Rumors were that this is a fast course with good chances for a PR.  I asked her to join me on Team IMF for this race!  She got to work right away and raised over $1800 for the Foundation!  We also traveled with fellow Team Zooter - Chandler Carranza, our Coach - Sami Winter, and Sami's Fiance (and bike mechanic) Charlie!  It was a quick trip flying to California on Friday, Racing on Sunday, and Home by Monday!  We stayed at a VRBO near the Indian Wells Tennis Garden, which worked out perfectly! On Saturday we did our bike safety ride and then dropped off all of our things.  At this race, you have to dip your wetsuit in a chlorine bath and leave it at T1 along with your bike and bike bag.  The Run bag goes to T2, which...
