Over two and a half years. That's how long it's been since my last podium finish in a pro triathlon. That's quite a drought in a sport where there are champions crowned at races every weekend. But that's what happens when you have an injury (or two) and then step away from racing to have a baby.
Last year I raced a handful of times, starting just 4 months after Amy was born. I traveled around the country for the Rev3 tri series
This West Coast heat wave is doing its best to derail my #100daysofAthleteFood challenge. Who wants to haul groceries home and then stand over a hot stove in the 100 degree heat? Oh yeah, I don't always do that on a perfect 70 degree day either, but I'm really making an effort these days!
I've been working with my coach, Tim from QT2 Systems since mid-March. After about six weeks of solid base training, my training has really ratcheted up. The last four weeks have been tough. I raced the Florida 70.3 and trained right through St. Anthony's triathlon and have been building since then.
This has been one of my most solid training blocks in, let's see…years.
