About Me

Fuck, I turn 55 this year!  OMG, how did I get that old, but hey I age up so that is a win!

This is my 15th year of racing triathlon... 

Kids...2 well, actually 2 adults now.  24 and 24. Riley, college Grade from SF State, and JD is finishing up his Masters in Accounting.  Both have flown the nest and are 99% launched!   I miss them like crazy but we are thrilled they are adulting. Empty nesting is something I highly recommend, especially if you are a triathlete...more time to train.

What's next....Wife- hate that word.  But I am married to an exceptional, eccentric, brilliant and very fun-loving man.  JB -  he is all that and more!

Triathlete...well since most of my blog is consumed with that....a bit of history. Collegiate swimmer- LSU.  After college I quit swimming for good, well at least I thought so.  I did not swim for nearly 20 years.   Became a couch potato for about a year and found running.  Over the years worked my way up to marathons and was addicted.  Many injuries lead to a months of not running and I discovered cycling...next up Triathlon.

I did my first Sprint without any swim training 11 years ago- loved it and was hooked!  Within a year I signed up for 2 x70.3's and the next year Ironman baby.  2008 was the beginning of the greatest addiction ever!!! Ironman.  And here we are today!  7x Kona qualifier and still loving everything about Swim.Bike.Run.  Kona is magical, painful and one of my favorite places.

I am still addicted to triathlon but have discovered gravel riding, I am not great, am terrified most of the time, but am loving learning and being way OUT of my comfort zone.
