After I finished the YWCA sprint tri in August, I pivoted from racing a mid-September 70.3 – 8 weeks just wasn’t enough time to train for the fitness depth I wanted – and signed up for Square Lake sprint instead.

A belated happy 2023, friends! Not sure about you, but I blinked and it went from 2020 to 2023. The last three years have been such a time warp! And I know covid is still a thing – I still feel like I’m recovering…
If I’m being honest, the last two months have been only ok. November is always my least favorite, as it’s suddenly dark at 4:30p thanks to Daylight Saving ending, it’s cloudy most days, and it usually snows at some point. But we made the…
