FRESH. KIT. FRIDAY. // BWR EDITION
In 48 hours I will be lining up for the 5th time @belgianwaffleride with my Boy Betty. Last year I said it was my last one, but this is by far the most fun day on bikes here in the San Diego area + I cannot pass up a good sufferfest with friends. Every year the training is different. I want to BE BETTER. The base miles started a bit earlier in lieu of BWR Survival Camp (January 11), but I was prepared enough to be able to do the work for three days. Post-camp the volume went up + it was rad. Until it wasn't. I love trying to find my limits and well, I found them. Week after week of larger volume coupled with me burning the candle at both ends (staying up late to savor any moment with G when he rolled in the door at 11pm on weekends + sharing snacks close to midnight, then up at 5am the following morning to get out the door early), the wheels started coming off in early March. Even the hubby suffered. (not sure why because he is SO much better at sleeping + recovery than I am ) We were starving, grumpy, unmotivated + I lost weight. NOT GOOD. Only thing I knew was I had to dial it back or there was no way May 5 was gonna happen. We chilled out, Matt took off for Iceland and froze hit nuts off trying to photograph the Northern Lights, + I tried to take things in stride. Almost 3 weeks was mentally rough. Short, easy riding was all I was allowed to do. While it seemed everyone else was stacking up the miles. Not gonna lie. It messed with my head. My saving grace was hosting Betty Epic Camp March 25-March 29. It was just what my body + spirit needed. 4 days with incredible women who I'm proud to call my friends from around the globe.
The break worked and although hesitant, my first long ride (7 hours) back the last week of March was a success. The love came back!! There are no guarantees for a finish on Sunday, but I'm grateful for the opportunity and being ABLE to do this. I'm a lucky girl. G will be waiting on Double Peak so the goal is to get there, give him a hi-5, and keep the rubber side down all the way to the finish. #BadAssIsBeautiful #DoEpicShit
Happy Triathlon Week!
Today is run day - one of the most fun races I've ever run was the Athens Authentic Marathon in Athens Greece in 2017. Amazing experience, and got insanely lucky with the weather! Finishing in the Panathenaic Stadium was emotional - but I had to get that sh1t under control - because I needed to breath! Haha. .

I’m grateful for friends who see my zone of genius and the stuff that is far from my zone of genius.
.
Thanks @tifflovestotri for gluing your hip to mine so I couldn’t mess this up. And thanks @fame1908 for choreographing and keeping us in line.

NEVER ENDING STORY ♾

Semana de descanso merecido y necesario. Cuánto se subestima a este Sr. Descanso y lo importante que es.
.
Retomando de forma progresiva los entrenamientos, fijando nuevos objetivos y creando ganas... muchas ganas de seguir compitiendo.

¿Tenéis algún objetivo en mente?

After a recovery and active rest week it’s time to start building the first block of the second part of the season.

Never underestimate the power of Rest and Recovery, extremely necessary if you want to progress.

New goals ahead and looking forward to training again. Have you had any goals next?
