I got the poop knocked out of me on Saturday. Decided to give bike racing a go. Signed up for my USA Cycling license, finalized the road bike purchase. After a lot of issues trying to get the new tri bike to fit right...Rockstar got the boot...and Ruby (2010 Cervelo R3) became my new buddy. Anyhow...I needed a break from fighting the body and the run. 1st road race...Giro di Coppi. I had no

What is going on?! It has been a ROUGH start to the season :( After the Miami 10K hypothermia, diagnosed with low iron...sooo chilled out a bit, did lots of hot yoga, and I had really started to feel better about a month ago. Then I got the Mumps! Who gets that?! 3 more weeks of feeling pretty awful...but now maybe back on track? I have not been able to race since the 10K (had to sit out on

It was a loooooong winter. Yes, I tend to overtrain. I train like I am doing an Ironman and train even when I am not gearing up for any big races. Because I enjoy training...I really do. Leading up to my first race (Swim Miami 10K) I was feeling less than stellar. My morning workouts are always my stronger ones...my body just feels the best at this time of day. Well leading up even mornings

***PRERACE***Sarah and I left Reston Friday am...picked up Holly and Jeff in Arlington and the 4 of us were off to Miami. No hassles getting there and we were shortly in our Nissan Cube heading for packet pick-up. I had one worry going into this swim...water temperature. As most of you know very well I choose my pools very wisely...temps above 82. Yes, this is a tad warm. I usually warm up

What does that mean?! I asked the rhumatologist, after he had diagnosed me with Osteoporosis a month prior. It all seemed to make perfect sense to him now. I was confused. Here is an interesting story:Summer 2004:I was getting bored with swimming everyday. Bought a bike and learned to ride. Signed up for a triathlon or a few. I was hooked.

Ahhhhhh winter. BOO. And I can still swim further then I can run. The good news is I am feeling really excited for the 2010 race season. I got a great opportunity to be a member of the Snapple Tri Team. Snapple, RATS, Team LUNA Chix, and work and Matias of course...something was gonna have to give...and I gotta pay the bills ya know. So I decided to step off LUNA and hand the Chix over to

Yesterday I took down the beast...Full into my off-season...which started after Reston Triathlon (September 13th). I normally train about the same time/week during the off-season but at a much more intense level. Less crushing, more doing whichever activity I want for awhile. I really enjoy just training (sometimes a little too much where I run myself into the ground...not good but we all have

And now, Thursday, back in the continental US...waiting to board in DFW...final flight back to BWI.Last full day.

Well…finally felt like I am used to the time difference now…slept until 6:00am! Great…just in time to leave in 2 days. Matias and I headed out on our bikes over to the aquatic center. I love that pool. Matias swam about 45min an hoped out to meet the others for more Splashers action. I stayed in for another hour and rode back to the condo to meet up with everyone. We were heading to see

Up at 5:00am. I missed Sarah…headed out to the balcony to call her…we chatted for about an hour. Can’t go a week without seeing my lil sister…what a sissy! Headed back in to find everyone up and about. Matias seemed to be feeling pretty good. I felt relieved…poor guy did a number on himself. I decided I needed some Katie-time. Headed out on Bananas for a bike/swim. Instead of riding

Up at 4:00am…as we had been up by 4 everyday this was not too bad at all. Matias seemed really awake and excited and ready to go. I felt nervous for him. You would have thought I was racing. Shelly, Mike, and I decided to get our workout in before the craziness began so ran to the race start (~10K). My longest run had been about 2 miles in the last few months…so would be a good test.

Surprise Mike Orton! Picked him up at the port last night. Since Matias and I were couch surfing, Mike was outside on the lawn chair. Up by 4:00am again. Today I decided not to swim in the ocean but check out the Kona Aqautic Center. Yea, I am odd…I choose pool over ocean at times. Headed out on Bananas, pool was about 8 miles from our condo.

I swam with dolphins today. Matias and I were up at 4:00am and wired. Shelly woke up too and came out to play. Her and Slake arrived about 11:00pm the previous night. Slake awoke shortly as well and the four of us were full of energy. I made some work calls to kill the time. Then it was time for some hot yogs. This should be interesting.

A day spent getting situated. 6:00am go time. I still felt wasted. But really ready to move after sitting on a plane for SO long. Made some coffee…feeling a little better. We headed out on bikes for downtown Kona (~5 miles from the hotel) where the action was taking place….swim, transition, race hotel, expo, etc. This was located downtown Kona at the King Kamehameha Hotel.
