Welcome back! I am still training for Ironman St. George 70.3. It has been a month since I updated how training, because training for a triathlon is keeping me pretty busy! Many people have asked me if training for a 70.3 is harder than training for a marathon. As of right now, I would say training for a 70.3 is not harder, BUT is more time intensive. Training for a triathlon requires more dedicated hours of training since there are three sports to focus on. There is als

I'm trying something new this week. I wanted to consistently document my triathlon training, but since I started to train for Ironman St. George 70.3 my time has become an even more precious commodity. So instead of writing a blog post each week, I thought I would try an au

I completed my second week of training for Ironman St. George 70.3 and I'm very excited because my bike set up made some great progress this week.
