Life in the Big Ring: February 2009
http://michelleford.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Life in the Big Ring. Wednesday, February 25, 2009. Last year I was insanely envious of PIC Sonja. When I heard she and Coach Steve. Careful what you wish for! I was not this happy riding Epic. Now I am getting the phone calls, hey you want to do Shadow tomorrow? And then the decision was made on Friday, Epic on Tuesday? 160;My smart self says, hmmmm 2 Epics, some running, swimming and skiing in one week? 160;AHHHHH. I was dropped here last week and it happened again, and the weird thing? 160;Well, it m...

Life in the Big Ring: May 2009
http://michelleford.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Life in the Big Ring. Monday, May 25, 2009. What an awesome race! Me, Steve and Sarah getting ready to warm-up. Initially I was hoping to run a personal best (PB) in this race since I have been running well lately and I thought I should be able to beat my OTB time at Nationals last year. I had an aggressive goal time but readjusted my expectations after talking to Coach Steve. Too many people, too many turns, and let's just say pretty hard and hilly! 160;My main goal? 160;Turn after turn after turn....

Life in the Big Ring. Sunday, December 28, 2008. What a difference a day makes! 160;I'm still tired but my tummy is almost back to normal. Michael had a bit of the bug too but we both sucked it up and hit spin class this morning for a nice 2 hour sweat fest. And, only 2 bouts of dizziness so it was good to be inside. Here are some of my favorite pictures from Christmas:. Christmas wishes: a camera for Char and a Nintendo DS for Iz. Isabelle on Christmas Eve. What can I say - Christmas Fun! I managed to...

Life in the Big Ring: September 2008
http://michelleford.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Life in the Big Ring. Tuesday, September 23, 2008. My apologies for the long post but it is really hard to summarize such a stellar weekend! Practical Coaching on bike recon Friday. 160;So, I started to relax and got pretty calm. As in, no butterflies. No real stomach distress. And I started sleeping pretty well. And, of course, I continued to eat like a freakin' teenager. . Hmmm, surprise. Me, Tyler, Noell, and Sonja eating! Sonja running down her age group. The major fun of the day you ask? And e...

Life in the Big Ring. Tuesday, March 31, 2009. To talk about and so little time! 160;There was the almost "blizzard" last Thursday, my awesome weekend in Colorado Springs, an incredible run with incredible people at Garden of the Gods, all the things I have learned in the last several days, a ride with Princess' new buddy Scarlett, trying to re-live college days and "cram" for an exam, finish up my CPR certification, and everything else. I am WAY behind! Tuesday, March 24, 2009. March 16 - 23 Update.

Life in the Big Ring: November 2008
http://michelleford.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Life in the Big Ring. Sunday, November 23, 2008. Ahhh, what an awesome weekend. It was relaxing, tough, fun, fun, and fun! I met with StevieP. On Friday for a quick swim lesson. Yes, I know, a swim lesson? 160;But here's the deal: I learned how to swim and competed at swimming years and years ago. So my stroke is "old" school swimming and there is "new" swimming. Kind of like new math (I am completely frightened by the prospect of my 1st grader teaching ME math). . 160;A few lung cookies coming up ...

http://michelleford.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Life in the Big Ring. Tuesday, June 30, 2009. Last Monday morning after returning from Kansas. The girls of the family headed to the airport to fly to Maui with a quick stop in San Francisco. I only had 3 hours of sleep and absolutely no recovery time from the 70.3 race, but really who's complaining when the end destination is Hawaii? We finally arrived in Maui.one of my all time favorite places. Here are some pictures from the quick Hawaii trip. The girls and I had a fabulous time! Monday, June 29, 2009.

Life in the Big Ring. Friday, December 4, 2009. This is a repeat post from a couple of months ago! Please consider donating to this worthy cause (breast cancer) and supporting our team! The Pink Chase Fundraiser is next weekend (December 12). Help us kick some breast cancer ass! So who do you know? How many do you know? Clearly, more research and money need to be thrown at this cause. So I have teamed up with fellow triathletes and general badass chicas Amy Dannwolf. And PIC Sonja Wieck. Not only are we ...

http://michelleford.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Life in the Big Ring. Wednesday, October 29, 2008. T1 and T2 are the easy transitions. Well, you may forget to take off your cap and googles, or struggle getting out of your wetsuit. You might take forever putting on your shoes and forget your race number (by the way, I've done all of these). But really, these are the easy ones. . 160;It sounds almost nice. Like maybe this could be fun too! So, I shall embrace the off-season, in fact, I believe it is the NEW on-season! 160;Yikes. . 160;Look at these...

Life in the Big Ring. Monday, October 26, 2009. Blogity Blog Blog Blah. Blogity blog blog blah blah blah. You may (or more likely, not) have noticed that I am taking a bit of a blog break this week. I just don't have that much to say! Gasp, the shock, the horror! I just have to trust in the work I did all summer long, focus on my nutrition and go out there and have fun all day long (well half day)! But right now, I have that pre-race build tiredness thingy going on. And the I could eat more thingy go...
