An Update

February 8, 2016February 16, 2016 Emily10 Comments

It has been a long time since I wrote a blog post. Five months, two weeks, and five days to be exact. I didn’t write that often (hello Ironman training) but I dropped off the face of the social media/real life/blog earth. So what happened to me? After Ironman Lake Placid I rode the high… Continue reading An Update

My Experience with a Triathlon Coach

August 20, 2015August 28, 2015 Emily2 Comments

I’ll be honest. I used to rag on the idea of having a triathlon coach. I didn’t understand why “regular” athletes like myself hired someone to tell them what to do. I remember browsing coaching websites and seeing the cost and swore that I would never hire one. I also knew that my husband would… Continue reading My Experience with a Triathlon Coach

Ironman Lake Placid: Run

August 11, 2015August 12, 2015 EmilyLeave a comment

As I sit here eating cheddar and caramel popcorn I wonder how I ran a marathon a little over 2 weeks ago… Anyway. I wasn’t sure how my body was going to feel going into the run. As soon as I started running I realized how happy I was to be off the bike but… Continue reading Ironman Lake Placid: Run

Ironman Lake Placid 2015: Bike

August 5, 2015August 5, 2015 EmilyLeave a comment

I feel like the mount area in a triathlon is always a little crazy. You have people that have no idea what they are doing which can lead to some chaos! When I got to the mount line I stayed to the left to avoid being run over by any athletes that were in a… Continue reading Ironman Lake Placid 2015: Bike

Ironman Lake Placid 2015: Swim

August 2, 2015August 2, 2015 EmilyLeave a comment

Elyssa and I tried to push our way to the 1:00-1:10 swim group. Unfortunately there were so many people it was exhausting just trying to sneak between people. Finally we settled somewhere in the 1:10-1:20 group. We didn’t want to fight anymore, plus, our time started when we crossed the start line anyway. The National… Continue reading Ironman Lake Placid 2015: Swim

Ironman Lake Placid 2015: Pre-Race

July 30, 2015July 31, 2015 EmilyLeave a comment

This race re-cap is going to start with the night before Ironman Lake Placid. I went out to dinner with Mark, my mom and dad, and my friend Derk. I know that some people get whacky about what they eat the night before a race but I’ve discovered that a good old burger and fries… Continue reading Ironman Lake Placid 2015: Pre-Race

It’s Been a While

July 30, 2015July 30, 2015 EmilyLeave a comment

Oops! The last time that I wrote was in March. I’m not sure why I stopped. I think that sleeping after all my training beat out typing up blog posts about my Ironman training. I do wish that I continued writing so that I could remember little details that I don’t remember anymore. Hindsight is… Continue reading It’s Been a While

Ironman Training Week 18 Summary

March 8, 2015 EmilyLeave a comment

You know it was a crappy week when the laundry is full of “real” clothes instead of sweaty sports bras, cycling shorts, etc. There isn’t that much to say this week. I had another crappy sick week. I swear I have been been sick so many times during the winter. I just can’t catch a… Continue reading Ironman Training Week 18 Summary

100 Days of Riding in a Row Thoughts!

March 4, 2015 Emily2 Comments

When I first decided to hire Matt he told me about his plan of riding 100 days in a row. At the time I kind of laughed but I also was like, “game on.” I love a challenge, so I told him that I was up for it. I didn’t think about it too much… Continue reading 100 Days of Riding in a Row Thoughts!

Ironman Training Week 17 Summary

March 3, 2015 EmilyLeave a comment

I didn’t think that anyone read my blog but one of my Instagram friends asked me if I was still posting! That made me grab my computer and get to writing. Plus I should be writing more often so I have an accurate description of my workouts. I want to be able to read this… Continue reading Ironman Training Week 17 Summary
