Tapering // for Ironman Boulder 70.3 – This is a mini taper as Ironman Canada is so close so I don’t think this will be an PR race but it will be great prep for my full IM.
Prepping // I raced Ironman Boulder 70.3 in 2013 on my way to Tahoe and had a great race so I am looking forward to toeing the line again. But this will be my first triathlon for a very long time so there’s a lot to try to remember and figure out.
Loving // Swimming! Our neighborhood outdoor pool finally opened and it is so amazing to swim under the sunshine.
Finally got into our outdoor this morning #bliss #IMTraining
Also I finally got an open water swim in at Boulder Reservoir last week and it feels really good. My swimming isn’t drastically faster but I have been much more consistent in my training and that makes me feel much more solid in the water.
Great morning for my first open water swim!!! Yeeee #imtraining
I also got my new wetsuit from Xterra, thanks Team SOAS for the amazing discount!
After a rainy run this was at my door!!! Just in time for my first open water swim of the year ❤️ @xterrawetsuits #imtraining
Reading // Witsup.com I am loving their articles and coverage of triathlon! And the book The Silent Sister so good!
Gearing up// to go back to school, I am planning on perusing my PhD and start taking classes this summer. I have two degrees in biology but have never taken an A&P class, I am excited!
Good luck tomorrow, Beth. I will be tracking you!!! This will be great prep before you take on the challenging Canada course next month. Have fun and enjoy your first tri of the season.
Thank you Kristen! I am excited but nervous about Canada’s course. Mainly the bike!
You will do awesome at IM Canada, Beth! If you’re biking Colorado hills, no issues at all 🙂 So exciting about A&P! I took it a few years ago when I was planning on PT school… SO fascinating! The human body is amazing.
Thanks Erin! PT schools sounds amazing….you still thinking about it?
