Set your mind to it!!! Go get the Sub 1:50! Don't go out to fast!! Good Luck!!
I love runcations. I did a ton of them last year so I was trying to stay home more this year. 😦 I think my next RUNcation is Chicago marathon.

IMCDA 70.3 is in the books! At nearly 10 months postpartum I feel very accomplished to complete this race. Coeur d’Alene was beautiful and I would love to race there again. Final time of 5:20, a 7 min PR - and included PRs in all 3 disciplines! . . . . #imcda703 #coeurdalene #idaho #ironman703 #motherrunner #triathlete #triathlon #vpendurance #pureendurance #postpartumfitness #fitmom

I haven’t really been nervous about my upcoming race until this week. I’m now just over two weeks out and I can sense the end of the training cycle nearing. It’s been a while since I’ve been able to line up and push myself in a triathlon. Being 9.5 months post-partum, I am trying not to compare my fitness to my first (and only) 70.3 two years ago. So much is different this time around - coaching, training, two kids vs one, body working through postpartum recovery. But besides feeling like I’m holding onto some extra weight to be able to nurse my baby, I actually feel very fit. My legs are strong, and I'm faster than I’ve ever been in the pool. Maybe more than anything I’m excited to see how this all translates on race day. To enjoy the end of the process and celebrate the capabilities of a woman’s body, my commitment to the sport and having an active lifestyle with my growing family. In these last two weeks I will continue to remind myself that no matter what the race outcome, I have actually enjoyed working through the complicated schedule of family, work and sport (it sure is crazy sometimes). I have loved the feeling of putting in hard efforts and pushing my body. I’m ready. . . . . #triathontraining #imcda703 #trekbikes #triathlon #motherrunner #vantagepoint #pureendurance

My bike got an upgrade with some new wheels!! 🙌🏻 Took then for a ride today and it was fun to see the effect of the wheels on my speed. 🚴 💨 Looking forward to getting more comfortable with the rim depth difference over the next few weeks before race day. . . . . #triathlontraining #imcda703 #tribike #triathlon #reynoldswheels #trekbikes

Biked up to the snow today along the McKenzie Pass. It was overcast and windy where we turned around, but had some beautiful views along the way. Next time I’ll have to go when I can get to the summit. . . . . #triathlontraining #imcda703 #explore #bikeoregon #mckeziepass #triathlon #cycling
