As @ellenlikesbikes has taught us: we wear red ruffle-y dresses to holiday parties even though we may feel like we are hulking out of them. Because we actually aren’t: we look dang good and have the best time with our fellow goobers (see pic 2) and are still able to enjoy being our best selves (pics 3 & 4 #snacclyfe) #bathroomselfieforthewin #besties #workparty #tistheseasonThese three amigos helped me return to road cycling today after a break of I don’t know how long. Hills are hard, biking is humbling, rides with friends are fun! #youmeetthenicestpeopleonabike #livforward #steedgreenmachine #westcoastbestcoast #winterridingComing home with a full heart, a rejuvenated soul, a bunch of new memories and another handful of friends from around the world. #youbetterbelizeitWhen it started raining in September I booked a flight somewhere sunny. The weather improved but life didn’t. I’ve trained three temps and covered unforeseen absences at work, our family cat had to be put down, a minor accident wrote off my car, and someone stole my bike. I’ll check in when I’m good and ready to face the world again. ✌🏻🚨 🚨 STOLEN BIKE ALERT 🚨 🚨 2017 Liv Brava SLR Size S From 11th and Pine between Friday night and Sunday morning. White Bontrager saddle. Please share and repost!!!Yesterday was my first swim meet in a year. It didn’t go according to plan, but luckily, my plan is pretty flexible these days! Super consistent splits on my two distance events means my pacing is really good, a two second PB on my favourite event means all the biking paid off, and 8m’ish underwater in backstroke means that noseclips work like a charm! 😆 We can discuss the dive where my goggles filled with water over a beer 😉 So happy and thankful to spend the day with my swim family 🥰 🙏🏻 📷 @bananna_marz for capturing this moment before the 800 at the end of a long day #swimmeet #mastersswimmer #mastersswimming #swim #swimclub #swimfamily #longcourse #tri #triathlon #tritraining #triathlontraining #ironman #ironmanhereicome #consistency #training #allfortheswimArchives

What else I do in the BVI
Since I’m spending a couple of days land-locked until my sinuses clear up, what more perfect opportunity to relate some of the other things to do in the BVI besides dive. To be honest, there’s not a whole lot of … Continue reading

DM in the BVI – Week 3
Week 3 was hectic! I managed to get all of my swims done, including the brutal 15 minute tread. Technically PADI requires that you tread or float for 15 minutes, with the last two minutes with your hands, to the … Continue reading

Life here on Tortola has been ramping up! I’ve gotten a few things checked off the To Do To Be A DM List, but still have quite a few more to go. I understand that the world of diving, and … Continue reading
