Es Tri's: Freezin’ For A Reason – Polar Plunge “Race" Report

http://myironmanswitzerland2009.blogspot.com/2010/02/freezin-for-reason-polar-plunge-race.html

Wednesday, February 24, 2010. Freezin’ For A Reason – Polar Plunge “Race" Report. This past Saturday was the Freezin’ For A Reason Polar Plunge. To raise money for Camp Sunshine. I also prepared my “race” outfit that consisted of sparkly tights, a skirt, bathing suit top, a cape, red mask, red swim cap, and some gloves. That’s right, I was going to plunge as a Superhero…an IRONWOMAN to be exact (cape said FEXX – FE=Iron, XX=Female). IT WAS F-ING COLD. SERIOUSLY F-ING COLD. Unofficially - I won. I mea...

Es Tri's: Thursday 13 - Why Ironman Arizona is better than Ironman Cozumel

http://myironmanswitzerland2009.blogspot.com/2010/11/thursday-13-why-ironman-arizona-is.html

Thursday, November 18, 2010. Thursday 13 - Why Ironman Arizona is better than Ironman Cozumel. The team race next year is (stupid) Cozumel. There are a rogue number of us doing Arizona and there is an on-going battle on why people should do one race over another. Here’s my 13 in support of Arizona. 1 Arizona is wetsuit legal – salt water does not have near the buoyancy to make up for no wetsuit! And drinking salt water = bad. Cozumel – hot, humid, sticky! 3 Desert climate so NO bugs in Arizona! I just do...

Es Tri's: Mooseman 70.3 Race Report

http://myironmanswitzerland2009.blogspot.com/2009/06/mooseman-703-race-report.html

Thursday, June 11, 2009. Mooseman 70.3 Race Report. Note 1 – You will learn nothing from this race report but it's filled with exclamation points! Note 2 – I’ve mentioned before, I cuss a lot during races. Truth be told, I cuss a lot. Where you see F-xxx. I actually said the real word…probably very loud. To do Truth be told, I went in with the same goals as Kinetic: ultra-stretchy goal was 6:30, real goal 7:00, and worst case 8:00:01 (after cut-off). Friday: Drove, and drove, and drove. 15 F-ing. Dude an...

Es Tri's: Friday Four - Random things that have nothing to do with the other

http://myironmanswitzerland2009.blogspot.com/2012/03/friday-four-random-things-that-have.html

Friday, March 16, 2012. Friday Four - Random things that have nothing to do with the other. 1 I'm "Judgey McJudgey Pants" in the check out line. I look at what you're buying, I look at you, and I make assumptions. Well today, I would hate to think what people were thinking of me. Usually I'm all veggies, lean meats, and whole grains. Hot dogs (turkey dogs.but still),. Hot dog buns (white enriched flour buns, not the whole wheat ones),. And a box of wine (cause it's Friday and I'm thirsty). March 19, 2012...

Es Tri's: 25 Things

http://myironmanswitzerland2009.blogspot.com/2009/01/25-things.html

Wednesday, January 14, 2009. I saw this on a friend’s blog and FB (and she saw it on a friend’s blog and FB, and so on, and so on). It’s titled "25 Things," which were 25 quirks, goals, habits, and general "deep thoughts." It was interesting and I’ve been coming up with my 25 things for the past couple of days. In no particular order:. When I was a little kid I wanted to be a boy. Not that I. I’m not a huggy, cuddly person but there’s no place I’d rather be then in Dude’s arms. It makes me happy that whe...

Es Tri's: Ironman Switzerland Race Report

http://myironmanswitzerland2009.blogspot.com/2009/07/ironman-switzerland-race-report.html

Tuesday, July 21, 2009. Ironman Switzerland Race Report. It took me over 14 hours to finish the race, hopefully it will take far less time for you to read this. But warning – this is long and I babble…quite a bit. Before getting into the race report let me briefly run down how IMS differs from “regular” Ironman events:. 16 Hour Time Limit - No Changing Tents - No Wetsuit Strippers - No Personal Needs Hand-Off - No Bike Retrievers/Catchers - No Body Markings. Week of the Race:. Meal Plan / Actual. Around ...

Es Tri's: Kinetic Half Race Report

http://myironmanswitzerland2009.blogspot.com/2009/05/kinetic-half-race-report.html

Tuesday, May 12, 2009. Kinetic Half Race Report. This was a training race - meaning Zone 2 - so my ultra-stretchy goal was 6:30, real goal 7:00, and worst case 8:00:01 (after cut-off). Friday - Reviewed Checklist, Packed, Unpacked, Reviewed Checklist, Packed, Unpacked (x's 4). Went to packet pick up and decided to do a quick brick. The water was comfortable and the bike/run gave me a taste of the hills. Swim - 37:50 (3/13 AG). T1 - 3:07 (4/13 AG). Bike - 3:40:27 (12/13 AG). From the get-go so around mile...

Es Tri's: How this craziness began...

http://myironmanswitzerland2009.blogspot.com/2008/10/how-this-craziness-began.html

Sunday, October 5, 2008. How this craziness began. Become addicted to triathlons and there is no 12-step program. As a result, I decided to join a team of other triathlon addicted folks so I could share the sweet, sweet misery. I ran into Team Z at a race in 2007 and noticed they were eating cheeseburgers and drinking beer near the finish line. Say no more – I knew this team was for me. Sprint: 750 meter swim, 15 mile bike, 3.1 mile run – give or take. In 2010. Then I met Jason…. Jason is a teammate who ...

Es Tri's: Rumpass in the Bumpass Sprint Race Report

http://myironmanswitzerland2009.blogspot.com/2009/04/rumpass-in-bumpass-sprint-race-report.html

Monday, April 20, 2009. Rumpass in the Bumpass Sprint Race Report. Other recommended title - "You Ran a 5K How Slow? Pre - got there in plenty of time especially since I did package pick up on Sat. I ate 1/2 a bagel and a pancake. How cool is the Team Z grill when you can order pancakes? Got transition set up, into the wet suit (pissed that there's a cut almost all the way through), and took a practice swim. Water wasn't near as bad as Mooseman and I did that in a sleeveless wetsuit. So I decided to walk...

jackie's gonna tri: May 2010

http://jackiesgonnatri.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html

Monday, May 10, 2010. Kinetic Half-Iron Race Report: 5 2 1=Awesome. That's 5 restroom stops, 2 minor bike mechanicals, and 1 tree in the road blocking the bike course. It's awesome because I was able to stay in a good head space through it, which minimized the delays (at least by the time the run came around), and (most importantly) made it a fun day. It was clear, but realllly windy (15-20 mph sustained, 30 mph gusts) and about 65ish at the start. 32:20 (I think the course was short, but I'll take it!
