Storing this day in my happy place bank! Great ride out to Yarrow - 😢 to find the chestnut cafe gone, no mid ride expresso or cinnamon bun!
But found a place with very friendly people (not hard to do when you are with @lizhowatson and Rhonda!

Climbed and conquered Cypress with 2 awesome athletes - they understand importance of consistency, they both excelled in their strengths today, and over came the tougher moments 🙌💕
@karen_sierpina inspired us with her kick ass climbing, catching other riders further ahead than our group🏆
@lizhowatson put her physical power into the pedals, pedaling through any obstacles- next goal is to make this a weekly workout 😉

Bring it on Seymour!

Hanging out / learning made fun with Olympian swim

Hanging out / learning made fun with Olympian swimmer @thebrenthayden at the beach, would be a really fun way to re-engage my mind /body after months of ups and downs…

I learned so much throughout the morning, his very authentic voice to being engaged (mentally &physically)in your swim, finding your sweet spot (the “Goldilocks”) and keeping the fundamentals up front, all this inspires me to get back to my swim - I know so much of this spills into each part of my active life!

Thank you @triathlonbc for making this available to us! Perfect morning at the beach!

Tomorrow by this time a long time friend who started as a triclub mate, became a Uthrive athlete will be married 💕🙏❤️

Congratulations @shawnbaturin ! The years of knowing you, watching you grow not just into a human who can train and accomplish an Ironman, but continue to strive in all areas of life! You show care and compassion for others, you reach out when it could be easily overlooked and trust your in your Faith when you make your choices!
❤️ I believe both you and Karey will embrace your new life together and flourish ❤️

PS I posted the goofy picture the biggest- because I feel like a n older sister who should just make sure I embarrass you a little bit!😬

My Day!
A 12 min run had me right back to how valuable a run is to me on so many levels ❤️
When I backed off running in November- thinking I will be healed up and ready to go by Jan/feb, yet month after month went by with the plantar fasciitis continuing to nip at my heal, I started to negotiate- just want to run 5km 3x a week for fitness, then even 2-3 mini off the bike runs…but the learning and listening to my body continues- 💛inflammation comes to the body in many ways, the last year was not one where my body truly rested..and it found ways to keep telling me this🫣
Well today I feel good about finally getting a 12min run in, and I am so grateful for it- yep, still some pain - not pushing the process, but am believing for the runs in my future!

“The Back at It”Triathlon
🙌

Life can bring up times we need to stop, check in on long term health, especially when triathletes tend to just keep pushing🤦‍♀️

Way to be wise Paul, good example to us all! And love your idea of transition comforts! 🤩

We kept shaking our heads - some shaking from the knarly gravel descents - some from “how the heck do we think this was a good idea”

X fondo…how hard could it be…🤦‍♀️

Very early into the ride - it was time to change the tune in my head from “you are so not trained for this”, “you don’t know how to trail ride”
New tune: :”stay humble”, “look where you want to go”, “keep your *ss in the saddle” …and grrr your way through the steep assents! Pray on the hairpin descents- while gripping for dear life!

So thankful for 20 years of fitness, some what consist strength training to pull this off!
Love sharing with @erkanaakyuz …it was his idea 🤣 grateful for his positive attitude!
Thank for the cheers from @wendyglyall @dnlyall for the cheers and encouragement!

So grateful for my best friend @graemehbc who has stood by countless startlines, finishlines - puts my events in his calendar to be there in all ways! 🥰

Til next year…this time I will train, and it may be time to try a mountain bike out…did I just say that!😬

We all have our reasons…

10 months ago @sotijen shared her reason with me❤️
15km swim🏆35km trail run

She lost her father way to early in life, he was just 50 years old.
she shared with me how he taught her about the love for nature, how to find peace and replenishment with it while protecting our planet.

In celebration of Jen’s 50 Birthday and her desire to honor her father’s memory (definitely read her bio) she is raising funds for @ecojustice_ca
