Off to the races! I’ve made it back to one of my favorite ✨ race venues: Coeur D’Alene for the 70.3 this weekend. Feeling the good race vibes already 🙌🏼. // #im703cda #seventypointthree #ironmantri #womenfortri #triathlon #professionaltriathlete #protriathlete #letsdothis #raceweekend #tapertime #coeurdalene #❤️
Missing my #mcm @corbinbrands. Hurry home, we 🐶 miss you 😘 // #fishon #hottyhubby #menwhofish #montana #flyfishing #workhardplayhard
Meet my sister, @danabeafrank. Similar to myself she likes to dream big & work hard (thanks Mom & Dad). She is so close to reaching her @kickstarter goal for @barnormanpdx: a natural wine Bar in Portland, Oregon. Head to the Kickstarter page (link in their bio or at BarNorman.com) and show her some ❤️. 1 week to go - go sister! xx // I’m also a little bit biased on the 📹 work by @corbinbrands 🙌🏼 //
Getting crazy on a Saturday night 🤣. Chimmy, @ntrecovery, @lacroixwater, @corbinbrands, 📺, tracking #IMCairns and some 🍫. // #freshlegsfaster #ntrecovery #normatec #clifbar #thatlacroixlife #saturdaynight #recovery #triathlonlife #professionaltriathlete #letsdothis //
The run portion of the triathlon #im703victoria this last weekend was a super unique one: it was on dirt trails around Elk Lake. // It was super engaging with all sorts of twists, turns, straights, a cheeky climb and lots of 🌲. I made little deals with myself all 13.1 to run as hard as I could to the next turn, rise, etc... and ended up with the fastest run of the day 💃🏼. // Pre-race I got a note from my first ever triathlon coach, @coach.lance and he said: “How cool! You get to run fast around Elk Lake!” 😜 This made me smile on race-day, thanks Lance. // #triathlon #triathlon_in_the_world #professionaltriathlete #ironmantri #womenfortri #runyourworld #halfmarathon #halfironman #canadaeh #🇨🇦 #saucony #clifbar #feedyouradventure #runneratheart #runnergirl #justkeeprunning //
What does your game-face look like? I try to make mine 😈 // But seriously : too often I’m too “nice” at the start of the cannon. This year we have been working on being more aggressive, confident, and putting myself smack, front & center. // I didn’t learn to swim until my 20’s and it’s been a big learning curve for me. // This past weekend at Victoria I got a tad bit too excited + confident about the recent swim progress I’ve made. I ripped into my double caff @clifbar espresso gel 20’ before the start = 🤩. The gun went and I took it out 🔥💥☄️. Let’s just say I should never be leading the race a few hundred meters in 😂. I went from total hero to total zero as my body went lactic. Whoopsies 😂 // Think I’ll go back to what I’ve done best and start smooth, controlled, and stick to following the fast feet. 😜 // A big shout-out to @rokasports who has been a long-time supporter of my swim journey to help me find faster 🧜🏻‍♀️. // #liveandlearn #practicemakesperfect #justkeepswimming #openwaterswimming #swimmerproblems #professionaltriathlete #journey #stilllearning #ironmantri #womenfortri #triathlontraining #im703victoria #letsdothis #backtowork //
Zing 💥! Not my finest work today @ #im703victoria. Just off the podium with a 4th place finish. The podium gals were in a league of their own 🙌🏼. The beauty of a butt-kicking? Leaves you humble, leaves you hungry. Focusing on the positives (ok, doing my best here 🤣). Onwards we march. // That’s okay, #Canada - you’re still beautiful, full of nice people & that course was legit on many levels. Until we meet again: 🇨🇦✌🏼🙋🏼‍♀️😘 // #almosthome #thathurt #ironmantraining #ironmantri #seventypointthree #im703victoria #racing #professionaltriathlete #ironmancanada #humble #hungry #doingwork #💩 #victoriabc // swipe 👈🏻 for pics by @corbinbrands, who is amazingly awesome 😘

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 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.
