Where do I begin? The past 18 months I have raced:
3 70.3 triathlons
2 Olympic triathlons
2 sprint Triathlons
1 1/2 marathon
1 7 miler run
5 5K runs
1 swim meet

I have learned so much about myself in the two years of endurance triathlon training. It’s all about your mindset, sure some of it’s physical, it’s the WANT to wake up 4:00am to ride your bike indoors for 3 hours before work; the WANT to jump in the pool when it’s sub 0 degrees outside; the WANT to run after work; to HAVE to say no to weekend plans cause you have 4 hour ride Saturday and a 12+ mile run on Sunday. During my 2 years of training for this sport; I truly believe that if you really want it, you will do anything for it.

I have had A LOT of obstacles along the way: last place female for the French Creek triathlon, DNS 70.3 Musselman 2025; 1st wedding venue closed right after we booked it; witnessing a death at a race, and a pregnancy loss.

I had to shift my whole mindset this year. 2026 was planned for me to be come an Ironman, but becoming a mom came first, unfortunately we became the statistic in the 1 in 4 who will experience a pregnancy loss. That goal of becoming an Ironman this year was gone because I wanted to train for it and when we loss the baby at the end of January, I just wasn’t in the right mindset and physical condition to start back into full IM training. It took me probably until this past Saturday; that I’m at peace with the loss. If you are suffering through a loss, I see you, I understand, and I am here for you. It truly does get better but it takes a lot of time.

Alright, let’s dive into Saturday’s 70.3 race. Kinetic nailed it, from allowing me to get into transition an hour early to having a burrito bowls for the athletes post race. The swim was unique, there was a sandbar you hit 3 times and I porpoise (like a dolphin) and passed so many people, there was a current and the turns buoys were a bit congested. When I got out of the water, the race official said I was top 10 female. My reaction was AH!

6 days to Kona.

Despite swimming and being very active through high school, I took a looong break from athletic pursuits until 2 of my coworkers, @craigwilliamkelley and Xiao Zhou, decided in 2015 to do a local sprint triathlon, @steelmanracing , and I was mildly intrigued when they asked if I would join. I committed a whole 30 days before the race and learned how to clip in on my dad’s 30 year old Marnati road bike.

Safe to say my first race was very bad. Our bikes almost fell off the car on I-76. The swim went decently, I had to get off my bike to walk up the first climb after not shifting fast enough, and walked part of the 5k run. I also pinned my bib through the back of my shirt so I had to rip it to get it on in T2 😂.

I was content to never do a tri again, but the next year I committed to a few months of training and dropped 15min off my time. Between that progress and buying into a training plan to keep me accountable, I was hooked!

🏅#MedalMonday | Race Day Recap🏅

The moment I dove into the water, the race became a conversation between breath, and rhythm. 🌊💪🏾🏊🏾‍♀️✨

I took on the 1 mile Steelman Open Water Swimming Challenge on a beautiful day with perfect water conditions. Stroke by stroke, I settled into my pace, stayed focused through the distance, and finished 5th in my age group.

The course tested my endurance, but the cheers, the energy, and the reminder of why I love this sport carried me forward. Every stroke was proof that showing up, trusting the training, and embracing the challenge can take you farther than you imagined.

The medal is the souvenir. The journey is the victory.

Whatever goal is calling you, take the first step, keep moving through the hard moments, and trust what you are capable of becoming.💖🤗

It turned into a GORGEOUS day for a swim! The lake temperature was perfect and I had so much fun with my @phillytriclub teammates! Snagged a 2nd in age group, which isn’t shabby for how sharply my swim volume fell off.

Thank you again to @steelmanracing who puts on some of the most well-organized races I’ve ever been to!
