After spending some time contemplating the future, I knew that I needed to hit the pause button and celebrate my accomplishment. This was the first half ironman I’ve completed in 4 years — I PR’ed the course, was the first female amateur, and beat several of the pros in the field. I needed to be proud. I have worked HARD for this moment and dedicated countless hours training for this result. I earned it! And I needed to take the time to reflect and be proud of my accomplishments. It’s all about having goals and aspirations. They keep you motivated and excited about what the future might bring.

The IRONMAN. For most, it’s an incomprehensible feat - then there are the rest of us.
Our athletes continue to make us look good this season!
Last week I completed my third Ironman triathlon at Lake Placid. There is something very special about this race for me.
Training is hard, much harder than racing. Training you are alone most of the time, frequently squeezing in sessions at o’dark thirty, and you look a little strange decked out in a full racing kit on the trainer in your living room. Oh, and you are tired…damned, freaking, horror-show insomnia nightmare tired. There you are, all alone, kind of funny looking, and just plain exhausted…that’s when the voices start to get loud.
Team BPC athletes have put up some great race results over the past several weekends!
“So let me get this straight – you swim 2.4 miles, bike 112, and then run a marathon?! All in one day? Why would you EVER do something like that?”
