Happy July friends! Since it has been so long since I’ve written, the best way to jump back in seems like a Currently post. Currently… tapering for Ironman Canada 70.3, which is just over a week away! I’ve been back training with Coach Angie from Team Tri Life for the past month. It would […]
Reflecting on 38
It is hard to believe that I’m about to enter the final year of my 30s… The last couple years have been quite the ride with a large departure from the trajectory I thought I would take. After 37 involved being let go I spent some time reflecting on what I really wanted to do with my career. […]
Tokyo Adventures: Shibuya
To continue our Tokyo adventures we decided to head to Shibuya after slurping down a big bowl of ramen at Tokyo Station. First on our list? Catching the action at Shibuya crossing, one of the busiest intersections in the world. Our vantage point was on the walkway connecting Shibuya Station and Shibuya Mark City. We […]
Tokyo Adventures: Day 1
I am kicking off 2017 with a bang by traveling someplace I have never been before, Japan. I am in Tokyo as part of a global immersion experience with my MBA program at UBC. I left Vancouver on Friday afternoon on a direct flight to Haneda and arrived at 6 pm Saturday evening. Before leaving […]
Year of Running 2016
2016… It started off with a bang and is ending with a fizzle. In January I was crushing high mileage weeks in preparation for February’s Phoenix Marathon. In December I’m slowly building fitness after taking an extended break after Ironman Boulder. Even though running is a bit of a challenge right now, 2016 deserves to be remembered for some […]
24 Hours in Seattle
My first term in my MBA program at UBC is officially in the books. The first five weeks of school was an intense experience. It was a never ending flood of readings, assessments and assignments all due within short time frames. For someone who needs their 8 hours of sleep every day this was a […]
How did we get here?
When Neil and I rung in 2016 in a tiny studio apartment on the Upper West Side of Manhattan I doubt that either of us had any idea what this year had in store for us. Throughout our week and a half vacation we kept saying to each other…”what if we could live here?” We […]
Final Thoughts on Ironman Boulder
I admit to feeling a little bit sad that Ironman Boulder has come and gone. This was the most I have enjoyed the training cycle for any Ironman. If I could sign up to do another Ironman right now I would! After working so hard to reach my fourth Ironman finish line I wanted to […]
2016 Ironman Boulder Race Report: run
Catch up on my Ironman Boulder swim and bike reports! The Run – 26.2 mi/42.2 km I made my way out on to the run course, with my feet showing no signs of the cramps and soreness that had bothered them on the bike and through transition. It was less than two miles until I’d get to […]
2016 Ironman Boulder Race Report: bike
On to the Ironman Boulder bike report, but you can catch up on my swim report here! T1 – 7:10 The transitions at Ironman Boulder are so long! I had a wonderful volunteer in the change tent who helped me get ready. Then I ran over to my bike and I got to say hi to Neil, […]
