Lake Wilderness Olympic Triathlon
Maple Valley, Washington, is the home of one of Ironmanās newer 70.3 races. While Iām not doing the 70.3, I had decided this summer of 2023 was going to be a summer of doing ALL.THE.THINGS. And this race sounded good, so I signed up. I want to be very clear about this ā I did not approach this race like a ārust busterā or a way to shake off cobwebs, but I certainly did not prepare for this raceā¦

Ironman 70.3 World Championships - St. George 2022
Iāve sat on this for almost a year, so I guess itās time to share. I know why I didnāt share this, and it comes down to being disappointed. But what kind of athlete would I be if I couldnāt process these feelings, let alone what kind of coach? So as we head in to championship season, I wanted to share this to acknowledge the feelings as well as share the lessons learned. The 2022 St. Georgeā¦

Ironman 70.3 Lubbock
Feels pretty cool to be in the one and only Scott Flathouseās backyard! Seven weeks after Ironman St. George, I toed the line at Ironman 70.3 Lubbock. I picked that race because I could drive there, minimizing the amount of time Iād be away from the summer swim team I was coaching, and because it was the last weekend that qualified for the 2022 Ironman 70.3 World Championships in St. George. Myā¦

Ironman St. GeorgeĀ 2022
Photo by Justin Luau Ironman St. George was not my first choice of race. I had signed up for Ironman Santa Rosa 2020, shortly after signing up for Santa Rosa 70.3. Both of those registrations came on the heels of an extremely frustrating and disappointing crash during a local olympic triathlon, in which I failed my flying dismount and partially tore my right PCL. That injury was a month beforeā¦

It's RACING Season!
Spring is here, or at least around the corner! Are you ready to start racing again? Do you have your races and training set? I'm here to help!
The sun is setting later, weāre dusting off our outdoor riding clothes, and wait ā was that a forearm? And a calf? Donāt get me wrong, Iām not trying to get ahead of myself here in Boulder. When I visited last year pre-move, it snowed ā a lot ā the day we left (in mid-April)! But weāre getting hints of spring, with warm days, clear skies, less iceā¦ it is really encouraging. It is weird to beā¦

Ironman 70.3 St. GeorgeĀ 2021
Where do you really start when something you planned to conquer 18 months prior got pushed out and pushed outā¦and then finally happened? If you allow me to rewind a few years, I pulled out my first triathlon āgoalā sheet from 2016. This was my first experience with setting goals for something I wasnāt good at ā Iād set goals loads of times for swimming where I knew what was reasonable. Firstā¦

Seriously, let's get silly.
Seriously, letās getĀ silly.
A good coach knows when to be serious and when to lend a smile. The balance is unique to each athlete, and a coaching skill honed only by on the job experience. And I am incredibly excited to announce that Iām officially ready to be the sometimes serious/sometimes silly coach for you! Coaching was my first calling all those years ago, and to have the formal USAT stamp of approval as a Level 1ā¦

Returning to my roots
Returning to myĀ roots
Picture this: eight-year-old KJ, hanging on the pool deck at the end of a lane, staring up at my swim coach and trying desperately to figure out how to do the drill she was explaining.
I adored my swim coaches growing up. They knew so much, cared so much, and were just the coolest. Our head coach instituted a āJunior Coachā program, which meant that when swimmers turned 13, we were able toā¦

Pier to Pier - OWS Success
Pier to Pier ā OWSĀ Success
The Dwight Crum Pier-to-Pier Swim is a longstanding staple of the Southern California open water swimming scene. My best friend Lizz (who got me in to triathlon to begin with) has competed very successfully for the past few years and she suggested I fly down to race with her this year. Great idea!
The race is from Hermosa Beach to Manhattan Beach ā two miles open water. 1300 people wereā¦

A little soggy: Sandman 2019
A little soggy: SandmanĀ 2019
Fundamentally, I donāt believe in PRs (personal records) in triathlon. I mean, sure, you can declare your PR for a sprint / olympic / half / full, but so what? The course is different year to year, distances arenāt standard, and especially in the Ironman world, itās not a time trial.
Pre-race views ā Thanks, SCSLA!
That said, I had aĀ very goodrace on this course this year. Good indicators (andā¦

Same-same but different - Monte Rio Sprint Tri 2019
Same-same but different ā Monte Rio Sprint TriĀ 2019
I love the Monte Rio Triathlon. It will always hold a special place in my heart as my first-ever tri, and I hope to return to race every year.
Modified swim course ā the red buoy visible up-river (top left) is the sprint turnaround.
The Russian River region was hit especially hard with storm and water damage this year, and unfortunately this impacted the race ā but Iām hopeful that the economicā¦

Let's go.
Letās go.
Iāve said it before and I meant it ā Iām still racing.
But this time Iām not āstillā ā Iām moving. And training. And ready to be back to racing.
Life is as busy as ever. Work is crazy and the commute is longer. But we donāt improve without rising to meet challenges. So here I am, putting it out there: Iām ready to race.
2018 brought highs and lows for me in triathlon. I missed key sessions, Iā¦

Definitely not Maui š | #surf #surfing #recoveryday #beach #beachday #california (at Bodega Bay, California)
Nothing like a crash to remind you of your mortality. I'm SO grateful for friends like @van_luen and @mitchreiss who invite me on rides and then get us back to the car for breakfast (!), helmets, and a bit of sheer luck. Bruised and scratched but nothing's serious, and what a better way to close out 2017 than falling down a hill! So here's a shot of what we were riding toward before I went boom. | #donttellmom #mtb #mountainbike #getoutside #outsideisfree #triathlon #latergram #nature #trainhard #storm #bayarea #oakland #friends #bike (at Lake Chabot Regional Park)
No off-season. The last few weeks have been poor on the physical side, but so much has been in the works for the mental side. Grateful for change and a new opportunity to grow as tall as I can be! | #getoutside #mentalhealth #newjob #newyear #redwoods #hiking #hike #trailrunning #winter #california #bayarea #oakland #triathlon #triathlete #nooffseason #triathlontraining (at Joaquin Miller Park)
I think this is the first prescribed workout I've actually completed in three weeks, and damn it feels good. | #relive #trailrunning #running #getoutside #oakland #triathlon #triathlete #trails #outsideisfree #fromwhereirun (at Anthony Chabot Regional Park)
Running away from responsibility like... here's another race report instead of adulting-things!
