I am now back to regular training after a few light weeks. The week after Louisville I felt a little better each day but was generally un-ambitious. Could probably have swum and spun a little more but wasn’t motivated to. First run was the Sunday after and it was awful. First ride the next day, Monday, and felt fine. Second run was then Tuesday and that was fine. The week in Wisconsin working with...

FEMALE MASTER OF THE YEAR – In 14 years only three women have won this award, Jan Guenther doing so ten times, Heidi Keller Miler thrice and Jeanne Fleck once. Is this the year that someone new takes home the prize? We’ll see.

Minnesota Multisport Awards – 2013 was an awesome year for rookies. In fact, it was reminiscent of 2008 when the nominees included Kortney Haag (ROY), Patrick Parish and Lydia Novotny, and 2010, arguably the deepest Rookie field ever, when Jenny Shaughnessy won the award ahead of fellow nominees Sam Janicki, Claire Bootsma and Dan Hedgecock.

This was my year to attempt the Ironman distance for the first time. For the past two years I’ve volunteered at Ironman Wisconsin. Last year I got up before dawn to wait in line with hundreds of other volunteers to register. My husband and son have raced triathlon for years so I wasn’t unfamiliar with the sport but at that point I had only been training myself for two seasons. I felt I had put in enough time to give it a shot.
I built up a good base and worked with a bike coach all winter to get ready for training last spring. The summer flew by and my training went very well. Paul was also registered for the race and he became my bike training partner, which worked out well for both of us....
