Frustrated

After my post last nite about the two ideas taking over my head... freelancing about the triathlon and running journey and developing a nationwide kids traithlon program similar to Girls on the Run... i'm getting a tad frustrated. No writing ideas have popped into my head that have to do with running or triathlon. Does a good idea just happen to hit you at a given moment when you least expect it? Becuase it ain't happening yet. Also no ideas are starting to form for the program I want to head up and start up... one that is a killer idea. Oh so frustrated. Maybe track workout tonite will spark some good ideas for both areas.

More to come...

It'll come... no worries. It'll probably come to you at 3am or some other terrible time but it'll come.

Coming up with story ideas is really, really hard work. I offer that as a form of encouragement: It's OK if it feels impossible! That's kind of how it's supposed to feel! Just keep reading everything you can about the topics you love, and hanging out with fascinating people, and you'll start seeing story ideas everywhere.

My best writing-ideas come DURING my workouts. If I were smart, I would carry a pen and some paper with me. That may be a good idea for you?

Celebrating Myself

Something Special Was Going To Happen I'm a little late to post (I was hoping to get it done over the weekend but life happened) this very exciting blog post but here it is. Sometime during my 2022 Season of Triathlon and Taking Running Seriously (Season 18) I started to think how amazing it was that through all the good and not so good seasons; I was still training for and completing races in the sport. There were so many moments in which I thought I'd take a break or even just completely leave the sport(s) all together BUT if you know me I don't give in or give up easily. I started thinking about how my 20th season in 2024 would come quickly and I wanted a way to celebrate such a massive and huge accomplishment of longevity in the sport. I started thinking about doing a custom design for a triathlon kit and possibly a run tank to wear proudly during my 2024 Season. Before the start of my 2023 Season (Season 19); I had picked which triathlon apparel company I was going to

My I Can Do Hard Things Swimming Edition

Image
I would have never imagined that the 200 butterfly would become my all time favorite go to masters swim meet event. As a young reluctant swimmer; joining a local summer league swim team in Maryland in 1993, I had the hardest time learning to swim breaststroke. Once my breaststroke was legal; I swam it at swim meets, it became my go to swim meet stroke. But  now the question was; how would I learn to swim butterfly? I loved how graceful butterfly was but didn't take the initiative to learn the stroke until my second or third summer swimming; which would have been 1994 or 1995. I learned how to swim the butterfly but was nervous to swim it; especially at swim meets of any kind whether on summer league (while still living in Maryland), at both year round club and high school swim meets (both when I was in Texas) so I never swam it. It wasn't until the mid 2000s when I was swimming on masters (age 18 and over) swim teams that I started to think about conquering my fear of swimming

Coming Up...

Image
In many ways oh so soon! First up USA Triathlon Nationals in Milwaukee WI. In T-Minus (gulp) 9 days I'll be swimming .9 miles aka 1500 meters aka 1.5km in a protected area of Lake Michigan. But for those who know me well; I'll be swimming more than a mile because LOL I can't swim straight and follow the buoys and to add to that I have to breathe to my right which NO WAY Jose isn't what I do best. After the swim portion; I'll take off my swim cap and goggles; put on my bike helmet, sunglasses, socks, bike shoes on before I un-rack Zoom 2.0 and we head out for a nice and (hopefully crossing your fingers) speedy and fast 25 miles aka 40km bike through the streets of Milwaukee. I've heard from those who've down Nationals in Milwaukee in past years that the course is fast (minus all the sharp u-turns for turnaround points) and it's mostly flat (minus this bridge we go over). After I get off Zoom 2.0; I'll head back to transition, take off my helmet and bi
