Preparing for 2015

With the wedding a month behind me, I am amped for next season! I still have a fun olympic distance duathlon coming up November 2, A 5k run with a co-worker and my crazy 50k with North Face Endurance events but its really exciting thinking of next season!

After being bogged down by wedding stress, it feels so nice to finally be married and focused on training again. It was a tough season as there were plenty of ups and downs but at least I came out with lots of learning experiences that will push me next season.

Our big race next year that we just booked will be Ironman Philippines. I am extremely excited for this event! This is how my husband and I will be kicking off our honeymoon! While it is starting to look like a struggle with transporting our bikes after the Philippines and before heading to Thailand, I'm hopeful that everything will work out. Just as I am constantly saying at work, "we'll make it work". Thats just how life is. We prepare and prepare but we cannot foresee absolutely everything that may happen, so we gotta go with the flow and do our magic at making the best of things.


So far on the 2015 Race Schedule:

February: Kaiser Half Marathon
March: Oakland Half Marathon
April: Boston Marathon
May: Wildflower Long Course
August: Ironman 70.3 Philippines


I cannot wait until next we get back into competing again! Especially after watching the amazing athletes at the Ironman World Championship in Kona! Its a matter of how much work I can put into my training and the desire to overcome any pain along the way :)
