Stay Tuned for the Big Reveal!

I know you're all excited and anxiously awaiting another race report. Fear no more, I've got another on the horizon! In approximately 19 days I'll be doing the Indianapolis Marathon relay. I've got a great team aptly named Team JadeAlexisRennayTiffany. If you missed that, it's Team JART. I'll be running the anchor and bringing in the last 7.15 miles. Meaning I should probably run more.

But now to the big reveal. Ladies and gentlemen, I am planning next year's racing season but the problem is that these silly people are taking far too long to post next year's dates! So stay tuned and I will do the big reveal of all of next year's races including my A race! Will it be Lake George? CapTexTri? But wait, what about Tri24? Oh I know the suspense is killing you!

    Oh, I hope it's the Tri in Austin! Then maybe you will motivate me to do it too. I am still a big chicken when it comes to wimming (I never learned how as a kid) and so right now I only have a duathlon on the books. Well, regardless of what you decide I know you will kill it!

    Do you live in Texas? I lived in Dallas for a bit a couple years ago. I didn't technically learn how to swim until college and didn't start swimming for fitness and tris until May. I also didn't learn to ride a bike until May so I know what it means to be freaked out by a tri. I used to be a runner and now unfortunately kind of hate running so I think I should stick to aquabikes. Dus sound like hell! Good job completing it!

    Yep! I live in San Antonio.

    I do like to swim, I am just not good at it and I don't know how to do it correctly- like I don't know how to hold my breath underwater. I keep saying I will sign up for swimming lessons but lack the motivation. Right now I have four big events coming up in the next four months, none of which involve water, so I have just been focused on training for those. We'll see if I can make a tri happen next year!

    I think you forgot Rev3! :) I had a dream about it last night! I told Alex about Tri24, and he laughed and shook his head like we were crazy. Then I told him the runs were 5Ks, and he said, "oh.... hmmmm I can run a 5K!"

    I am so excited for this month, I hope to get some biking in, and the info session for team in training is this month!

    I agree with Dacia, (Hi Dacia!) about swimming. I can swim, but not any sort of proper technique way.

    I work on Sundays and most Rev3 oly races are on Sundays I think. It's a bummer. Let me know how the TNT info session goes! Those coaches will fix your swimming technique in a hurry I bet.

Lovin the Hills Race Report

Guess what I did this weekend??? I was a very good girl and asked my coach very nicely if I could please please please do the Lovin' the Hills 6 mile trail race and because he's the best he gave me the green light to participate . So, I did my very first trail race on Saturday! I'm not necessarily a stranger to trails but I definitely wouldn't say we're friends. Trail running goes on the same list as all of those really great athletes I "know" and am Facebook friends with and want to be able to be real friends with but I'm too intimidated to try. You know what I mean right? Anyway, I've run trails before and volunteered at many a trail race but I've never actually "raced" myself so this was going to be a fun new experience. The site wasn't far from my house and since I'd waited to sign up for various reasons, I didn't have to get up too too early to get there in time for race day registration. I drove to Jeffer

My Life is Awesome

Do you ever just wake up, take a big breath of fresh air and feel totally grateful to be alive? Ok, so I don't. But I also don't wake up wishing I hadn't anymore and that is certainly something to be grateful for. You see, I went through a very long, very dark phase in my life where every day was not a blessing, I couldn't enjoy a pretty day and I begged the earth to swallow me whole. I had things on the horizon and did a pretty damn good job of faking every normal human emotion so no one knew what was going on. The only one I didn't have fooled was myself and unfortunately at that time, mine was the only voice I heard and the only opinion that mattered. Without going into detail I'll just say that there was a point when I hit rock bottom. And as I sat there and finally felt solid ground under me I realized that I was no longer falling. What was more important was I realized the true benefit of rock bottom, the ability to put your feet on the ground. When I

A Sad Announcement

It is with a very heavy heart that I make an announcement. Because this is where I spend so much time recapping my races and weight loss struggles and successes, it seems that this is where the announcement needs to be made. I told The Colonel earlier this evening when I got home from school close to tears and I need to make it official before I change my mind. I will not be doing an olympic triathlon this year. Sounded much more serious than that, didn't it? Well all joking aside, it is serious to me. In my mind, I'm now a quitter. I'm a wimp. I'm giving up on my goals and soon will start giving up on all of them. This isn't the case of course but for now it's really hard for me to be rational. I am a goal setter and rarely has there ever been a goal I didn't *eventually* reach. So for me to seriously and actually "give up" is heartbreaking. I'm also abandoning my quest to lose 40 more pounds this year. It would be great if it happened, but I
