Third in Columbia two years in a row! This year I am much happier with my race and even managed to go three minutes faster. Also, it was great to have Bec back on the starting line crushing the swim and the bike and coming off in 2nd place.
The camaraderie at training camps, group rides, and masters swim workouts inspires me to go all out. Other times, an athlete’s life on the road gets lonely. The 2009 Nevis ITU Triathlon was one of those times.
After a couple busy days without access to the computer I decided to post this week's Foto Friday on Mother's Day. I have noticed an increase in flower photos and springtime landscapes in the Instagram feed this week and it seemed very feminine and fitting for the holiday. Everyone one seems to be snapping pics of something pastel colored - peonies, denim, smoothies. 
The Mix: fresh mango, coconut milk, toasted coconut, and chopped walnuts
The Story: I stocked up on sweet and deliciously un-local Ataulfo mangos from Mexico at the Trader Joe's last week. Laurel and I are eating them every which way. We snack on slices right off the cutting board in the afternoon.
At last month’s Nike shoot, on break from dashing in and out of the 50-something-degree water, one of the production people kindly made a spicy produce-packed fruit and vegetable juice for Laurel and me.
