This is me. Giving the camera-man @corbinbrands a high 🖐🏼. I always find that the harder it is to get my 🍑 out the door, the more gratifying it is when I nail the session 💪🏼. Here’s to a great week ahead: be safe, work smart, have fun & go for it! 😜 // #mondaymotivation #letsdothis #rokaoptics #bontrager #clifbar #letsdothis #professionaltriathlete #ironmantri #ironmantraining #roadtokona #summermiles //
In the words of @corbinbrands : doing the work. Sunday long run on Sisemore - banked ✅. // #saucony #runyourworld #clifbar #feedyouradventure #rokaoptics #teamzealios #ntrecovery #sundayrunday #roadtokona #inbend #marathontraining #ironmantraining #triathlontraining #letsdothis //
💃🏼 Starting out week #2 of the training block. Took some positives out of week #1, and hoping to be just a wee bit better in week #2. Taking it one day & one session at a time. ✅👊🏼😁// #mondaymotivation #mondaymusings #roadtokona #letsdothis #proudlysupported #professionaltriathlete #ironmantraining #ironmantri #saucony #trekbikes #clifbar #bettydesigns #summermiles #ladyinred //
Dirty double #runday today. Hilly this morning for #☝🏼and flat for #✌🏼later in the day. That second run always is 💥 - my legs generally feel like garbage, which means it’s the perfect #ironman #marathon simulation. And yes, I’m posting this from my @ntrecovery boots 💁🏼‍♀️, #freshlegsfaster 👊🏻 // #saucony #clifbar #trekraceshop #rokaoptics #teamzealios #ntrecovery #runyourworld #feedyouradventure #sundayrunday #lovetorun #runneratheart #girlswhorun #letsdothis #roadtokona #summermiles #stravarun #stravaphoto //
My first Ironman Hawaii, 2006. // I turned professional right before my first ever Ironman in June and thought it would be my *only* Kona (😂) so I raced with a broken collar-bone and finished 23rd. // I will be highlighting a photo each Thursday from my 11 starts at the Ironman World Championships. Looking forward to racing my 12th (!) Kona this October. // #roadtokona #ironmanhawaii #ironmanworldchampionship #IMKona #tbt #teamtimex #aloha #ironmantri #womenfortri #babyfaces 🤣 //
Workout Wednesday - when your weekend race doesn’t go according to plan you get to run fast by Wednesday 😜. It’s not often that I get free-reign to run fast 💨. It was fun today to push the pace and use some of the race-day motivation from over the weekend for a solid track workout 💪🏼🏃🏼‍♀️💥// #saucony #clifbar #teamzealios #getit #letsdothis #silverlining #workoutwednesday #workoutmotivation #summermiles #stravarun #professionaltriathlete #ovaloffice #runnergirl #runneratheart #ironmantri #roadtokona #roadtokona2018 //
I’m fortunate to call Bend, Oregon home 🏡🏔☀️. I’m always asked what to see & do, where to train, & my favorite places to eat when friends come to town. I’ve partnered with @visitbend and created a “love-list” with all my go-to’s. Stop by visitbend.com and check it out. Hope to see you around town 🤗. // #inbend #visitbend #centraloregon #workhardplayhard #vacation #oregon #oregonexplored #highdesert #triathlete #professionaltriathlete #ironmantri //
Sunday recovery session - cruising #Hosmer lake for 🎣 and swimming until sunset 🙌🏼. // ICYMI - the @rokasports Halsey my go-to casual 😎 // #workhardplayhard #sundayfunday #pnwbabes #outsideisfree #roka #rokahalsey #rokaoptics #feedyouradventure #cascadelakes #summertime #family //

I also have a long-standing BLOG, I update less frequently than I used to, but when I do update the blog it's usually worthwhile –or – at least I like to think so.

We just returned home from an incredible trip to the Bahama's. It was my first time to this corner of the world and all I can say is: WOW.

We have an awesome couch. It's bright orange and modern looking. It's been in our living room for almost two years and up until the end of August this year, I have sat on it maybe only a handful of times.
