I’ve just returned home from another quality race put on by the Revolution 3 folks- The infamous “Quassy” half distance (70.3) took place on Sunday in Middlebury Connecticut. It was such an honor to be part of what some are saying as the hardest female Pro field outside of Kona! I finish

I couldn’t think of a more perfect way to end the extended stay I’ve had down in sunny Tucson, than to end it with the Duathlon National Championships. I will be racing for a second national title on Saturday up in the Oro Valley, where a stacked field anxiously waits to give me a true run for
