This race has given me inspiration in my triathlon journey as I enter into my next season of training and racing. It has shown me that what I am doing is working and that I can trust my decisions in my training. Many of the pieces needed to create a solid race are coming together for me. I am excited for 2025.

Here is a description (with numbers) on my race:

Age group:  F60-64

“I view competition as a vehicle to get the most out of yourself”.  

_Jack Mullaney (Naz Elite running coach) 

Recently I’ve been thinking about why I race. Not just why I do triathlon but, why do I race?

I recently had a breakthrough training session. It was a hard run hill repeats session for one hour and fourth five minutes. I did the session mostly on fire roads out on the trails. Most of the hills I choose had a decent grade and a bit longer so not a lot of letting up. And it happened to be a very hot day.

Here’s why it was a breakthrough session for me.

Results: 

7th in F60-64 

**Qualified for 70.3 Worlds Taupo, New Zealand

 (I did not take the spot *more on that later) 

Here’s my race report …….

Lately so many people have been asking me when will I stop doing triathlon. Here’s why I’m not stopping……

This set me up really well for higher volume training….

I had the honor of being a guest on the Hit Play Not Pause Podcast talking about how my rewilding in menopause has made me faster and stronger. This is a great podcast to learn more about how I go about rewilding and an overview of the why and how.
