Portland getaway: Xterra weekend race recaps 15 Aug 2013 | 03:23 am
Last weekend was a 3-day adventure to Portland, OR for some Xterra racing....The Portland trip was sort of the "getaway from the getaway" of training camp in Bend, OR. In Bend, it's all chop wood, car...
the intersection of work & play (& the KPR beast) 1 Aug 2013 | 10:07 pm
I'm feeling lucky these days that my training is taking me to amazing and lightly trodden places around Bend, OR. I'm loving that moment when you crest a hill high up in the mountains and realize that...
just around the Bend.... 25 Jul 2013 | 07:04 am
Yeah... probably a more appropriate title for this blog than "Bend over"... I've made my way to Bend, Oregon and quickly fallen in lust with this happy little town in the high desert. People here spe...
Next stop: Oregon 19 Jul 2013 | 05:49 pm
I believe my ears-of-corn-consumed to workout-hours-logged ratio this week was easily 2:1 . No "training" was conducted but I did explore some easy trails on two wheels with dad and swim (float?) down...

I'm not one to harp over New Year's resolutions.. Except this year, because I resolved to make three very important things happen and wrote them down in my first blog of the year. My resolutions are "...
cleansing for athletes? 21 Jun 2013 | 08:45 am
After Ironman Cairns, I gave myself a full week of whatever I want. And for me, whatever I wanted included 4 full days of no exercise and eating without thinking, "should I really eat that?" Now, I d...
Ironman Cairns race report 16 Jun 2013 | 09:23 pm
My 5th place female finish at Ironman Cairns 2013 was not the "race of my life" in the way we usually use this phrase. No amazing breakthroughs were had, no sub-3 marathons were run, no swim or bike t...
The other side of the world... 5 Jun 2013 | 08:02 am
After a few days in North Queensland, Australia, I can't believe that I even thought about not taking this trip for Ironman Cairns. You can't put a pricetag on life exeriences and I feel lucky that I ...
