Race Report: Ironman Chattanooga 2019

This is a hard race report to write. Long story short, I did not finish (DNF) this race. First of all, Chattanooga is wonderful. I think before I didn’t finish I would have wanted to come back to race here no matter the outcome. Now it’s absolutely necessary I go back and […]

Race Report: Ohio 70.3 2019

Ironman 70.3 Ohio – July 28th, 2019 This is the only race other than Maryland that I have completed twice. I did Ohio 70.3 in 2016, it’s inaugural year. In 2019 I came back to the same race with a new course. This race was exciting and different for a couple of reasons: […]

Ironman 70.3 Eagleman 2019

Before the race report, I have to say I also attended the pro panel and absolutely loved hearing what these amazing professionals have to say! I even got to meet Laurel Wassner and her sister, Rebecca and her daughter, Amy! I love following them, their amazing blog with recipes and photography. I really look up […]

Race Report: IM Mont Tremblant 2018

Ironman Mont Tremblant 2018 Race report The days leading up to the race I did different workouts on my taper than previously for pre-ironman. I was nervous initially but I think they were something I definitely needed. One of the work outs was riding up the hills on the Chemin duplessis 10k portion at the […]

Race Report: IM 70.3 Eagleman 2018

I loved Maryland so much that I had to come back for the half the next year! We stayed in Easton, MD again and had no complaints! My mental game going into the race was exciting, anticipating how I might improve and hungry (for food and a PR!). The weather was on my mind […]

Race Report: Back Log IM Maryland 2017

Race report: Ironman Maryland Written: 7 October 2017 I went into this race very calm and with perspective. Monday before we left I tripped and didn’t think much of it, swimming and driving to Columbus without major issues. The minor ache turned into pain, which turned into limping and eventually no walking by Monday […]

The Little Smokies Tri 2017

This is a race report back log, which means that I just don’t have much to say because I was young and naive and didn’t write about it after it happened (2017), but a lot sticks out to me about this race now (2019) This is a not Ironman branded race and is better known […]

Race Report: Back Log IM Louisville 2016

My first ever ironman race report is from Ironman Louisville in 2016. I decided this was a great landing page for my race reports because those are quite the special moments. They are the epitome of life events that are meant to be taken in like a favorite meal. Slow. savored. Enjoyed. It’s also one […]

Race Report: Back Log IM 70.3 Ohio 2016

This race was just my 2nd triathlon ever. It was a 70.3 and was the race prior to my first ironman attempt. I still had so much to learn and you can tell when you’re reading it! So much to learn! (Still so much to learn!) The swim was not wetsuit legal- not really a […]

The first 70.3 Diaries…

When I first did a 70.3 I was in over my head but I had no idea. I was recovering from an eating disorder, and by recovering I mean, I was open to the idea of recovery and not great at implementing it quite yet. My thought process was, if I don’t fuel properly I […]
