What a fun time we had!  It was such fun running up and down the strip at night ….lights flashing, rock bands playing,  we really had a blast.  There were at least 15 peeps representing Ironheart racing shirts…bright orange – awesome!!   Weather was a perfect mid 40s…to some that may seem cold but it was […]

Well what a fabulous weekend we just had in Tempe, Arizona, watching the 2011 Arizona Ironman.  I can’t believe that a year has passed since I raced in 2010, just 8 months after having open heart surgery…..

An Olympic Distance??!!!  Well, I haven’t done one of those for a number of years but I am planning to give it a go at the end of the month.  The Chicago Triathlon is the largest Olympic Distance triathlon in the US (I think – don’t quote me!).  The last Olympic distance I did was […]
