Not quite a week has passed since I crossed the finish line in Windsor, California for my second Iron-distance triathlon event! What a ride it is to train, race, complete and recover from these ultra distance events! I LOVE IT! *Note that Vineman is not…
Poor Boise 70.3 has such a bad rap! This early season race does nothing but struggle with weather conditions. Last year it made for epic photos of athletes riding their bikes on a shortened course to transition. So of course I decided to sign up…
