This morning Pro-Triathlete Andy Potts posted something about how you need to love to train.
It said; “Love to train, Everyone loves to race. You gotta love to train. The daily quest for self improvement and the constant drive knowing that you can and will get better.”
That quote simply made me come alive!! Because as many of us I love to race I truly love all about racing. Seeing my friends in transition, the excitement and thrill of competition and that taste of success!
But in order for us to expierence all of those things we must train and we must find passion and love in training. The no glory hours spent in your...

Miami 70.3 Race Report - It’s always easier to write a race report for a race where everything clicks. But all races - especially the tough ones - provide an opportunity for growth and are just as important to reflect on. Ironman Miami 70.3 was an incredible experience and a lot of fun, but I definitely feel like I left behind some unfinished business.
First a little background. Following a half-marathon PR in June at the Garry Bjorklund Half-Marathon in Duluth (easily one of the best race experiences ever) and the Rochesterfest Road Mile less than a week later (easily one of the worst race experiences ever), I found myself faced with stress fracture number six....

RACINE 70.3 RACE REPORT - 1. About 30 minutes before race start they told us not to walk down the beach to the swim start. We were soon told the race would be delayed until at least 9:30 and to go seek shelter due to an incoming storm. While this was unfortunate I can say that the storm was intense with torrential downpours and I was happy not to be out on the bike when that rolled in.
2. The race was changed to a duathlon, completely cutting the swim, a bike shortened to 31.5 miles and the full run and we’d start at 10:20. I had gone back to my hotel to stay...

ED. Personal bests were set today at Ironman Arizona by RUTH BRENNAN MORREY and ERIN KLEGSTAD. Fourth-year Rochester pro Brennan Morrey was 55th woman / 10th pro woman out of the water (1:05:35). She followed that with a 4:53:13 bike split, her gender's fifth fastest, which landed her in 10th place overall. Then she outran all of the women (2:57:45!) , which elevated her placing to 4th. Her time was 9:02:28, bettering her prior best, set at Chattanooga in 2014, by 7:11. Klegstad was the 12th amateur woman to finish (4th in her AG). Her time was 10:19:01, improving her 2015 Wisconisn PR by 26:28!...RESULTS
An awesomely terrible Netflix movie about ironman training...
By Erin Beresini (triathlon.competitor.com)
Triathlon doesn’t usually make it into TV or film plotlines, but when it does, it’s typically terrible. Take the 10th episode of the Hawaii 5-0 reboot in which armed thieves rob a diamond store while racing a tri. Because running around town in an aero helmet is as inconspicuous as you can get on race day. But that episode pales in comparison to the Lifetime original Netflix is currently serving up, in which one mom’s Kona goal serves as the premise of the entire 1 hour and 34 minute movie. You must watch it. Now. With all of your triathlon friends.
Fair warning, we’re going to spoil it for you in that we’re going to tell you why it’s terrible, a task that generally involves tearing down the major plot points. But we’re not really spoiling anything because the only reason...
