Wednesday, July 4, 2012. Wisconsin Triterium Triathlon- 6/30/12. I signed up for this one a week or so in advance, drawn by the small size (only seven in my AG last year! And only slightly daunted by the bike route's sell (On the Ironman Madison route! That means hills. Steep and frequent ones.). Waiting in line to body mark and set up transition.scoping out the competition. Looks like a lot more than seven in my AG. Hardware, unlikely. I think we can all tell which option I chose. Coming in for the fini...

Monday, October 7, 2013. My second attempt at this marathon, I felt extremely confident. On the heels of a surprisingly successful race season my training was solid, my form lithe, my spirits high. I couldn't say the same for Lydia, shown here in true pre-breakfast mood. My lobsters dropped me off about half an hour before the gun. I figured that was plenty of time for a pre-race photo, a warm-up/stretch, and a trip to the port-a-potties. Here I am saying something unintelligible:. After a chocolate milk...

Monday, July 28, 2014. Aquathon Series #3- 7/17/14. I know I have reasons (excuses? Why this one didn't go as well as I'd like, but here I am nearly two weeks later and I can't remember what they are. I had taken a much-needed vacation with my lobster the week prior to #3 so it had been a while since I'd been in a pool. Slow Swim Excuse- check. The swim did clock in at over a minute slower, but the route had been changed to avoid algae so I'm going to claim it's longer and stick with that.).

Wednesday, July 31, 2013. Tri-ing for Children's- 7/28/13. I had done Tri-ing for Children's once before. I signed up for the Olympic distance in 2010 and a few weeks later my two biggest fans arrived at my doorstep and training came to a screeching halt. Darned if I would DNS though, so we showed up and I came in about as close to dead last as one can come. Cloudy, 55 degrees and breezy made waiting for the start the most difficult part of this race. And then we were off. The water is warmer than th...

Monday, August 13, 2012. Waterloo Fit City Triathlon- 8/12/12. Then I got sucked into the vortex of Past Results- analyzing past winners' times and comparing them to my own. I noticed tiny age groups (six or seven, maybe? Coupled with race times that suggested most racers were newbies. I started to wonder again.hardware? I wondered and wondered and wondered quite a bit, actually. Because in a tiny race with casual first-timers, I can actually do well. In the end I pulled off 2nd in my AG. My lobster like...

Slow Triathlon Person.: Horribly Hilly Hundreds--6/14/14
http://tri-not-to-wax.blogspot.com/2014/06/horribly-hilly-hundreds-61414.html
Sunday, June 22, 2014. Horribly Hilly Hundreds- 6/14/14. This is the only race (or in this case "ride") I've registered for where a lottery system determines if you're in. And I really wanted this one. I grew up in Mt. Horeb and the area is heavily used by Ironman Madison. If I can do HHH, I'm well on my way to Moo. And neck pain (time to get a new fitting). I began to think of little else (sorry wife and kids). Never once did I stop and walk on a hill. The last two and a half miles of the ride were the ...

Sunday, June 22, 2014. Aquathon Series #2- 6/19/14. The run was a little slower- 8:40 average pace- but the aforementioned lack of sleep probably caused that. I finished lower in the standings at #2 but remained part of a small group that had done both of them so far and therefore I sit at #4 in my AG. We'll see how long that lasts.

Slow Triathlon Person.: Last Call Half Marathon--12/6/14
http://tri-not-to-wax.blogspot.com/2014/12/last-call-half-marathon-12614.html
Wednesday, December 10, 2014. Last Call Half Marathon- 12/6/14. I signed up for this race a day or two after barely missing my PR at Tyranena. I wasn't ready to leave the season without it. The course boasted "flat and fast" and the starting line was a couple miles from home, so there you have it. Mile 1: 8:30 pace. What the? I'm not that fast. Miles 2-6: 8:30-8:45 pace. Something isn't right. I'm seriously not that fast. Did they measure wrong? Take it easy, girl. Don't push it here. May 2009, 2010.
