I have been feeling recently that words and stills couldn’t quite adequately describe the experience of doing a triathlon, so for the Luna Bar Triathlon this past weekend, I decided to make a video! This was my longest triathlon yet: 0.5mi swim, 20mi cycle, 4mi run. I finished in 2:03:51, for 4th place in my [...]
It all started with an injury. When my body breaks down, I have to adapt. I need to push myself; I am always trying to figure out what I can achieve. Back in March, I dislocated my shoulder at the beginning of a week-long road trip. Getting hurt on the third climb of the trip [...]
You may remember that it was not that long ago when I blogged about my first triathlon, the Silicon Valley Sprint Triathlon on June 12th. Well, it was so awesome that I decided to do some more! I knew right away that I wanted to return to the Luna Bar Women’s Triathlon Festival, where I [...]

Things have seemed so busy recently… I think I may not have written anything on the blog since just after Indian Creek, which is probably a month ago at this point. I will hopefully have time to catch up on my backlog of activities, but here are the highlights: I went to Hawaii with other [...]
Am I a runner? Could I ever be a runner? What makes you a runner? I took part in high school cross country and stayed fit playing ultimate frisbee in college but never thought to run just for the sake of running. Running fast or running far takes a lot of effort and putting in [...]
Julie, Josh, Luke, and I all survived the Montana de Oro trail race on Sunday! Julie and I both ran the 8k, which had about 800 feet of elevation gain (that means big hills, not little ones…). Julie was awesome and won the 8k and I finished 21st out of 70, which I guess is [...]
