The Mix: old-fashioned oats, strawberries, and mint
Friday, May 25, 2012 Who doesn't love a good puppy pic once and while??
The photo below is from Andy Spade @andyspade . If you don't follow his Instagram - do it. Everything he posts is graphic, ironic and clever. I love this pic because most of the time this is how I feel going into a race - like the smallest one and the underdog. But the scrappy little fighters sometimes get the best of the big guns!
Also, dogs can make great training partners. Some people run miles and miles with their dogs and even take them swimming in lakes. Or, some do none of the above and just fall asleep hugging their owner's trainer:

What did you eat the night before the Columbia Triathlon?

Laurel's had pasta and red sauce the night before the Columbia Triathlon last weekend. I had a gluten-free quinoa and lentil salad. Here's how it was prepared:

I'm happy to report that I finished my first race of the year! I wouldn't normally be OK with "just finishing" a race, but when my other option is not racing at all, I'll take it.

Third in Columbia two years in a row! This year I am much happier with my race and even managed to go three minutes faster. Also, it was great to have Bec back on the starting line crushing the swim and the bike and coming off in 2nd place.

The camaraderie at training camps, group rides, and masters swim workouts inspires me to go all out. Other times, an athlete’s life on the road gets lonely. The 2009 Nevis ITU Triathlon was one of those times.
Friday, May 18, 2012 These two photos really stood out to me this week. Although portraits of kids ostensibly have nothing to do with triathlon, it got me thinking that isn't necessarily the case. A) we have a lot of readers and fellow triathletes that are moms and dads and B) these kids could be future triathletes. The sport wasn't really around when we were this age. But since it has grown so much in the last decade, these kids can now say "I want to be a triathlete in the Olympics when I grow up". That's pretty cool! I know our nephews are already trying to run and win like Aunt Bec!
