Another barefooted run
Wow, I haven’t been very good at tracking my workouts at all lately! yikes! Too busy I guess! Been doing some running both with shoes and no shoes, but really need to start back with the swimming and cycling. Been loving the occasional trail run at Tiger or Cougar Mt though! Way better than the streets of Seattle!

Tiger Mt. Thinking….
Had a really big life decision to make today so decided to go for a long trail run to clear my head and think. It was great! And I got to try out my new "dirty girl" gaitors ! Very fun, and I left with some clarity and a decision.

Time to come back?
Oh my goodness I have been gone for a looooong time! What can I say, after Ironman I needed a severe break and what I thought would be a month or maybe 2 turned into 6 long months! yikes! Now I haven’t been a complete slacker, but have been busy with work, friends & family, a couple of new hobbies, and the occasional workout. I also managed to complete the USAT certified coaching level 1 course this fall, in hopes of dabbling a bit more in the coaching arena. I love helping first-timers and those that are setting goals simply to challenge themselves.
Anyway, it is a new year and time for me to get back at it! Unfortunately I managed to start Jan. 1 with my first cold in 4 years! ack!
Special thanks to those who checked in on me periodically to see if I was ok! Mitch, Shelley, Peter, Slow, bigdave, xr4000, and more. I’m still here! And hopefully ready to get back into the swing of things!
I need to plan a race calendar for 2010…hmm.
Happy New Year everyone! (Maybe my resolution should be to finish my race report from IMCDA 2009, huh?)

IMCDA Highlights
I’m still working on writing the race report, but in the meantime, here’s a great highlight video compliments of the screening room at www.Ironman.com. I think I even saw myself in there once very briefly on the bike!

I am an Ironman!
Simple and short today as I don’t have it in me to write the full race report yet (coming soon though), but yesterday I completed my first ever Ironman in Coeur d’Alene, ID.
One word — AWESOME! I loved *almost* every minute of it with the exception of the absolutely brutal swim and a migraine for 25 miles on the bike. I successfully recovered from both though and went on to rock the run, smiling the whole time!
Swim (2.4miles) - 1:33
Bike (112 miles) - 6:48
Run ( 26.2 miles) - 4:32
Total time: 13:08
40th out of 125 in my age group
I’ll take it!
Huge thanks to everyone who supported me, offered advice, wished me good luck, and cheered me on at the race and from afar! Even taking time away from vacation in Kona! You guys are all awesome! And I totally appreciate all the love and support!
Now it’s time for some rest and a margarita on the beach! Yeehaw! I am an Ironman!

Alien Heads & Exploding Clamps!
Just a quickie ride to keep the legs fresh and to test out the dork-monster aero helmet that I plan to wear for IMCDA this weekend! Man I hate those things, but I figure I don’t care what I look like — if it helps me get off the bike even just a teensy bit faster than it is worth it! I know I’ll be dying to get my butt off the bike by the time I hit 112…
Right at the end of my ride though, somehow the clamp that holds my seat managed to literally explode! Something flew off my bike and I heard this loud "POP"! My seat was left dangling! I headed to my LBS and had them fix it up for me…now I just need to dial in the position again. ugh! Nothing like a 112 mile Ironman ride to test out a new "fit"!
