To get Jason back into the swing of things, we are building him from sprint to olympic distance events. Reason one for this is race availability within his work and family schedules, and reason two is just to get some racing in. The more you race, the more comfortable you are with being uncomfortable, no matter the distance.

Hello friends! Today I wanted to talk basics. For a lot of you, you know the do's and don'ts to running on the roads. But every day there are new athletes getting out to run and it is important to know how to run when there is traffic that is not so concerned with your safety. So, I wanted to discuss a few basic 'rules of the road' if you will!

We kicked off Base Phase training three weeks ago with a bang. The bang was a FTP test and a 1000 yard TT to set new training zones. Since Jason had been doing a lot of running, he already had a run test under his belt so we did not do one at that time.

In 2018 I dipped my toe into the cycling world. I was amazed at the power that these women could produce! I did well in road races, but lacked in critierums. I learned a lot about tactics and racing in close proximity to other riders! I’ve raced my way up to a Cat. 3 rider. Over the last few years my excitement and passion for triathlon has not wavered, but my excitement and passion for cycling has continued to grow.
