Dude..... things are shifting! Okay, so my grand plan to race North Face 13.1 and then do Spooners Cove 25k worked out really well for me. When I have events on the calendar it really keeps me focused on my training during the week. When I first got started in the sport in 2007 I raced like 50 events
Read MoreI get out and running on the course and suddenly there is a guy on a bike with me. I asked if he was my lead biker and he said "are you Sonja Weeeek" and I said "yes" and he said, "then yes." I was pretty excited about this! The first mile was very twisty-turny as we wound through the village area, past the finish line, around the parking lots and finally
Read MoreSo, the Tahoe Bike, I was in 6th and 6 minutes down. We got going and it was cold, but not 2013 cold, just a little bite to the air. As I have said a million times I was really excited to ride the course. It's 2.5 loops and the first section you will end up riding 3 times before T2. This section
Read MoreI love starting off Ironman days with a good nights sleep, and the night before Tahoe I slept like a bear. I was down for the count!
On race morning we loaded up the car and headed to Squaw Resort. Mikki, and I were racing the full, Tony and Jody were racing the 70.3
Read MoreSix months ago Muddy and I planned this fun epic double for the middle of the summer as good training block for my A race of the year which is Ironman Los Cabos on Oct 25th. He thought it would be awesome if I raced Santa Cruz 70.3 and then we headed up to Tahoe to train for a week and then raced
Read MoreThe Norseman Video for 2105 that the race puts on has come out. I'm in it, at the beginning talking, and then also at the end crying with Andrew.
I knew I wanted to write one final post on Norseman, but man, I knew it was going to hurt. Maybe not so much for you, but definitely for me.
Read MoreI'm off and running out of T2, and the first feeling I have is that I'm scared. Having been passed continuously all day it feels like 39 more people passing me is a likely option. And if that happens, I won't be allowed to finish at the top, and I won't get a black shirt. As I'm thinking about that and getting my self settled in the first mile,
Read MoreI headed out of transition to stunning views as the sun was rising. The first little snafu I experienced was losing my Smith glasses. I was shoving them in my pocket with cold hands, and then a few minutes later I went to move them and they were GONE. Uug. Will be ordering a new pair stat.
Read MoreIt's HERE! The Norseman Blog!! I've finally put down all the juicy details about this epic race, along with some really good insights I got from the experience.
Read MoreI raced Vineman 70.3 in 2009. It was one of the first 70.3 races I ever raced and I had a rough go at it. I remember a few things. One, a tree fell on the course at mile 7. It fell on three competitors and one of them broke their back. The race was stopped and we all piled up, and when they cleared the way and we got to go it was a
