Musselman race review

Musselman is always my favorite race of the year. It was my first triathlon ever and it was my first long distance triathlon so it holds a special place in my heart. The course is relatively easy and very scenic. The race is always well organized and there are tons of spectators cheering on race day.  Not to mention they have the best goody bags around.

Ride for Roswell Review

I participated in the Ride for Roswell on June 25^th. The ride took place in Buffalo and it benefited The Roswell Cancer Institute, which my Grandmother is currently a patient at. The ride was my first century ride, prior to the ride the most I had rode in one setting was just over 60 miles. I was more excited than I was nervous for the ride because I was looking forward to riding close to the Ironman distance and doing it with a bunch of company on a safe course.

Gearing up for my first Century Ride

This Saturday I'll be riding with some co-workers in the Ride for Roswell. I've been gering up for this event for a few months by slowly increasing my long rides to build up to the 100 mile distance. I've only ridden up to about 60 miles in one setting but I'm expecting the ride to go just fine.

Fly By Night Duathlon; Race Review

On May 25^th I participated in the fly by night duathlon. Last year was my first time participating in the race and I really enjoyed it. I had a lot to live up to since last year I placed 1^st in my division. This year I did it as part of a relay team; my dad did the running and I did the biking, below is a recap of how it went.

To Run Is To Live

To me, running is living, it’s just that simple. The benefits and joys I’ve experience in regards to running are endless. Our body is the best gift we will ever be given. If we take care of it and it will take care of us and running is the best way I’ve found to take care of my body.

Half way there...

I’ve reached the half way mark of my training. Here’s how it’s been going so far…

Tough Mudder race report

This past Saturday I traveled up to Vermont to run the Tough Mudder. My older sister had signed up with some girls on her rugby team and the week before one of the girls decided not to run so I had planned on taking her place. Long story short, I needed her I.D. to get her bib number and the I.D. didn’t make it up to Vermont. I usually wouldn’t condone “bandit running” i.e.- running without being registered but with the specific set of circumstances I didn’t feel too bad about it. So my first (and last) time bandit running was coincidentally also my first (and last) time doing any race in the Tough Mudder series.
