Wildflower: Still the One and Only
by WebyMaster | May 7, 2015 | Christine's Blog, Uncategorized
Wildflower holds a special place in my heart. In 2011, it was my first half ironman distance race, and I’ve raced the long course every year since then. The race is located out in the middle of nowhere and just about everyone camps at the race site. Be…

Triathlon + Ocean = Happiness
by WebyMaster | Apr 27, 2015 | Christine's Blog, Uncategorized
Being a triathlete in California definitely has its benefits, and one of them is the abundance of small beach town race venues. I absolutely love racing by the ocean… it’s like a vacation and a race all in one! About a week ago, I kicked off my 2015 …

photo by Andy Jessop This was my first race of the season. It was great to finally race and dust off some major cobwebs. I had the itch to race throughout March, but stuck with the plan and waited until the HMB tri. I did this race last year but it was a different...
If you don’t feel like [crap] at the end of your race, you didn’t push hard enough
by Stephanie Artis | Apr 22, 2015 | Elise's Blog
Being fairly new to triathlon, this is a concept I’m trying to embrace at each race, but not always with success. I usually feel like I did “fine” in the swim, I pushed hard on the bike (maybe I could have gone harder?), and by the time the run comes around my...

by Stephanie Artis | Apr 9, 2015 | Christine's Blog
This year, I began my season with a 5000 meter race on the track. I absolutely love running on the track. I don't know if I can pinpoint what, exactly, makes the track so magical... it just is. The first time I raced on the track was in elementary school. The...
Dare to go Hard- Oceanside 70.3 Race Report
by Stephanie Artis | Apr 2, 2015 | Anna's Blog
I am just reading Heather Wurtele’s race report and I want to take her first lines to start mine as the time leading up to Oceanside was a rather turbulent time for me. “It is hard not to want to explain things. I think that a pretty basic element of the human...
