Off season 💙

The longer you are a student of the sport, the more you understand that in order to come back stronger, you need some different intentionality in your training process after the season.

For excited (or fearful?) new and veteran athletes, letting your fitness, training volume, and rigorous routine go can feel unnerving. You may be eager to build on your strengths of the season, or likely focused on fixing some weaknesses. But, the story is long, and best navigated with curiosity and open arms than control and fear.

I am a big believer in a “structured” off season, but it should look completely different than an official training block.

How?

More focused on moving for fun. Try new things, say “yes” to activities with friends.

Learn new things and develop your techniques in the sport.

Uncover and work on other disciplines that greatly impact your training— sleep, nutrition, hydration, and your spiritual/mental/emotional habits.

STRENGTH train. Always! And in this block, start with addressing imbalances and weaknesses- then building a strong foundation.

Know WHAT to do and WHY you are doing things. I highly recommend staying with your coach year round to keep your performance potential ball always moving forward. And a coach will help you not try to “win” the off-season in a way that it’s detrimental to your upcoming goals.

📸 Wearing anything other than spandex, drinking bubbles, and traveling are optional ;)

Hi 👋🏼

I have spent months considering the point of my social media accounts. So, if you have been confused then you are in good company 🤣

I have no idea how to detail what I’ve learned and how I’ve changed in the last three years, so I figure instead of explaining myself, I’ll just tell you where I am now, and where I plan to go 💙 (sorry- it’s long, but no surprise there)

Who am I?

I believe in Jesus and try to live as an apprentice under him. I suck at it often, but I have grace and that gives me hope.

I LOVE people.

I trust that I am where I need to be, and that I am doing what I am called to. I love my vocation as a coach and team leader, and am blessed to be an endurance athlete. I am excited to be living out my calling!

I will coach any (amateur) athlete who is able and willing to have endurance sports add value to your lives— not BE your life. If that’s the path you prefer, then I’m not for you!

I did not grow up in a political family, and have honestly been very politically naive. I have learned a lot, and see how agendas, systems, and beliefs connect to certain parties and have caused assumptions of my affiliations with those parties. While I have my convictions, I am still not a “political” person and I hate the corruption and divisive nature of politics becoming “religions.”

Also to note- I love to travel. I love my husband and kids and friends. I love my dogs. You’ll see plenty of them here too ;)

Okay… so why should you stay here? 🤣

Stay if you feel led to! I hope whether or not you align with everything I do, that you can learn something about your athletic endeavors. In the new year I will detail my personal training journey to Ironman WI with coaching tips and devotions that add layers of meaning and practical help to your training journey.

Thanks for reading- I guess that’s about 6 months worth of posts in one 🤣

Much love to all 💙 ✝️

IMWI 70.3 2025

A PR 🎉… 17 years into the sport

Try as I might to take the credit, I know the truth.

It was all God.

I am honestly just grateful for another opportunity to show up. It is such a blessing to do what I love, surrounded by those I love 💙

And all of my athletes, friends, and my favorite athlete .bush had impressive races. What an awesome weekend to be a triathlete in Madison ☀️

I will stay in awe of this experience for a long time. And if you ever want to hear the whole story, I’d love to share my journey with you- message me for a coffee date or a FaceTime call. There just aren’t enough words available on Instagram :)

💙 No goal is too small.
💙 You are not too slow. Or too old.
💙 I cannot deny that it is an investment, but one that is worth the return for YOU.

I took all I learned from my race last month, and am excited to race with more JOY this weekend.

📸 IMAZ 70.3 in Tempe: 2021 and 2018. A nostalgic, special place for me. I am excited to take it on for the last time (this location has been discontinued… I am not retiring!)

Want to set goals that matter to you? Unsure how or why? Buy a book at the link above and get a FREE membership to the Far Better Community 💙 ALL goals will be tackled— not only endurance sports!

📚 And, FYI- my book is not “about” triathlon, or only for triathletes. It’s about self discovery to be able to live an aware life. It’s for all!

I met this guy 22 years ago today.

❤️ of course it’s never perfect, but choosing to love him is the best decision I get to make every single day.

We have learned much about ourselves and how to keep showing up in relationships. He’s awesome and we have had many adventures together— raising kids, building businesses, races, travel, etc…. The newest being Brewing & + the launch of my book and the community I hope to grow with it.

❤️ we will keep choosing this as long as our paths align. But I will always know that my life is far better because he is a part of it.

New Blog! https://mbcoaching-zoneracing.com/triathlon-saved-my-life/

If you’ve never read one, start here 💙

📸 IMWI 2017 woke me up. My post race feelings taught me that if I was going to fully connect with others through love, then I was going to have to find a path to understanding myself better. A path of owning my actions with compassion and grace. A path of connecting through authenticity. A path of grounding myself in all feelings and experiences.

📸 IMWI 70.3 in 2023. The path has not been linear, and it involves a fair amount of backtracking. But, there has been healing. I feel LOVE. I feel ALIVE.

This week’s message is all about WHY I wrote my book. And if you decide you’d like a copy, you can purchase one here: https://mbcoaching-zoneracing.com/far-better-book/

And I know her FAR BETTER by challenging myself as an athlete. I’d love to help you do the same.

Got to do what I love to do with and supported by the people I love. And I even took a little more time than planned to really savor the experience 😉😂

Half iron #22 ✔️ and another fully successful IMWI weekend for my athletes.
