Athletepath Transition Challenge

Bec
As part of the Triathlon Business International Conference (an annual triathlon industry gathering), a new company called Athletepath staged their first annual Transition Challenge.  I was invited to participate along with about 10 other professional triathletes.

Athlete Food: Dessert Not Dessert

Snack

As much as I love ice cream, my favorite dessert has always been fresh fruit. It’s what we had for dessert every night growing up. Our dad would go to three grocery stores searching for the freshest fruit he could find and always kept the house stocked with oranges, melons or whatever was in season.

Getting Comfortable with Being Uncomfortable

Bec

I’ve only done a handful of half ironman races, but from what I can tell, long distance triathlon racing really comes down to getting comfortable with being uncomfortable.  In an Olympic distance race,, my typical race distance, you can get through the entire race feeling relatively good. I’m not sure that ever happens in a long race (or at least I’ve yet to experience it). 

With this in mind, much of my training so far this winter has focused on being ok outside of my comfort zone.

Athlete Moms: Sarah Shares her Big, Big Goal

Going For It

You know those big, big goals…the kind you’re afraid to share or even say out loud because they’re such a stretch that you aren’t even sure you’ll come anywhere close to making them happen? Maybe it’s finishing an Ironman or nabbing a BQ in the marathon. Or running your first 5K or winning your age-group in a tri. Well, I’ve got a huge goal, and as much as I’d like to keep it bottled up inside my brain, I’m just going to put it out there:

Athlete Style: Gym Bag Essentials

Laurel
Whenever I hit the gym, I take my little satchel of stuff with me around from area to area.  Carrying a lock to the gym seems heavy and the NY'er in me never likes to leave my valuables out of sight.  So what's in that little bag (usually a "sack pack" from a race expo) you see next to my treadmill?

2014 Race Schedule and Race Entry Giveaway!

Bec

Last year I raced the Philly Tri just 4.5 months after Amy was born. It was a tough, tough race and what got me to the finish line that day was the thought of carrying Amy across it.

We just posted our 2014 race schedule! This list isn't set in stone, but we wanted to give our sponsors (and potential sponsors!), competitors, family and all of you guys a sense of where we will be, when.

This year's line up is a little different from previous years.

Athlete Moms: A Year of Running

Sarah
Happy New Year! Hard to believe that a year ago, Bec and I were just about to welcome our little girls into the world. So much has happened over the course of those 300-something days, and aside from the obvious thrills of raising a baby, the past year has been a flurry of adventures and new experiences. Especially when it has to do with running.
