@ G U M B O G I R L B E T H: Relaunch
http://bethandrew.blogspot.com/2015/03/relaunch.html
I have a friend who loves to RELAUNCH her training every other week. She'll come into the workout and proclaim that it's time to RELAUNCH! Maybe because she's missed a few or has a newer attitude or a bright new focus. That's definitely what I'm doing with this blog - and it seems to happen every year. The good news is that I have an idea - two themes - that I'm working on this year to guide what I focus on here in GumboLand. One of my first blog sites centered around the very concept of.

@ G U M B O G I R L B E T H: Coastal 10-Miler Part Two
http://bethandrew.blogspot.com/2015/05/coastal-10-miler-part-two.html
Coastal 10-Miler Part Two. As I settled into my race pace behind my newfound friends Derek and Gary, I also met up with some Spice Girls! Beth, Michelle and Jess had run the course backwards from UNCW and they helped pace me in those first miles. We tucked in right behind the men and chatted about weekend plans, food and fun. Beth and Jess peeled off near the UNCW track and I stayed in step with Derek and Gary. Nearing the Finish. Sami, I Hear You. Welcome to BETHANDREW.COM! Stoked 2 Go Out?

A Funny Thing Happened.[Part Two]. A Side Note: Fun things are happening at BethAndrew.Com! For a sneak peek! I was reminded of this when M.T. showed up. I don't know M.T., but I know she's fast. I haven't seen her in a race in a while, but she looked as strong as always. I decided I was going to let go of my podium goal. I reminded myself to race for more points in the state series and to race HARD. Come on, Beth,. I'm right behind you! This is What You Get When You Google: Quack Shoe. I like to check o...

@ G U M B O G I R L B E T H: Stoked 2 Go Out?
http://bethandrew.blogspot.com/2015/05/stoked-2-go-out.html
Stoked 2 Go Out? Yesterday I mentioned that ocean swimming for me is a big swirl of fun, fear, joy, peace and frustration. On Saturday, I was stoked to go out. And almost immediately I was stoked to be in. I don't know what it is about being in the ocean compared to a lake or even Banks Channel, but it is a different mindset for me. It freaks me out. Running into the water fast freaks me out. Starting with a lot of people freaks me out. Swimming beyond the breakers freaks me out. Big swells freak me out.

Azalea Sprint 2015 (part three). My run was awesome. I did not have a personal best. I did not follow a run strategy. I did not stick to my paces and I didn't draft off other runners. It didn't feel fast or good. I didn't even look cute (my allstar kit was rockin' but, what's up with that hat? But it was awesome. Here's why: It was better than what I have been running in practice. But it's true, everything is awesome when you're part of a great team. I am so grateful to be a part of this team and proud o...

@ G U M B O G I R L B E T H: Hard Way Home
http://bethandrew.blogspot.com/2015/05/hard-way-home.html
Way back in March. I mentioned writing about more than just the workouts and races. I wanted to write more - and discover more about the WHY and the WHAT. Why I do this crazy sport and what makes an IRONMAN and IRONMAN. I am learning that I do triathlon because it makes me a better person. I can apply what I learn in training in racing to my physical, mental, emotional life. I hit 25 miles an hour! Written on May 14, 2015. Published on May 15]. Welcome to BETHANDREW.COM!

@ G U M B O G I R L B E T H: Coastal 10-Miler
http://bethandrew.blogspot.com/2015/05/coastal-10-miler.html
In keeping with my Ten Minute Challenge, I figured I'd start with my Coastal 10-Miler. In mid-April, I ran the Coastal 10-Miler. It's a new race that fit right into my training calendar and I loved it! Ten miles is a great distance - it's not as fast as a 10k for me and not as long as a half marathon. The course was new (to me) and the cause - Victory Junction - was certainly worthwhile. Far Left at the Start. Coastal 10 Miler Finish. Welcome to BETHANDREW.COM!

http://bethandrew.blogspot.com/2015/05/carolina-beach-double-sprint-2015.html
Carolina Beach Double Sprint 2015. On Sunday, I did the Carolina Beach Double Sprint. It is a crazy fun format: an 375 meter ocean swim 1.5 mile run 12 mile bike 1.5 run back to the beach an 375 meter ocean swim. That means four transitions and eleventy logistics. 00:00:00. From now on, when the starter says FIVE SECONDS, I'm going to start my Garmin. Do It Like This. [See the Red Rubber Band? Tommorrow's Story: A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE PODIUM.
