Any TriDivas Out There!!!!

Well Ladies. . . .I think we have created an awesome space for ourselves. I also think it is time to start using it. I am throwing out a request to share your latest Tri story. It could be your last race experience. Tell us what you learned or how the experience affected you. It could be as simple as a great story related to training or life in general I know that there is gold out there somewhere. If you share, we will all benefit.

Can't wait to here the Trilore,

TriDivas Spring Tune Up

I thought I would take some time to recap our fantastic camp held in beautiful Westbank, BC. The feedback from the participants was incredibly positive with a do-again-next-year spirit. Here are a few of the highlights:
1. The naming of the bikes. . . . .we were all inspired by Tash and Emma so everyone named their bike. I found it to be a bonding experience with my ride and ever since the naming I have had even better rides!!!
2. Hills, Hills and more Hills . . . .We had some major climbing days on Knox Mountain and Yellow Lake. I think we came back more confident (right, Ali!)
3. Talk Talk Talk . . . . .We didn't even turn on the tunes for the 10 hour drive because we had so much to talk about (not to mention the raunchy topics!)
4. Food, Wine and Wine. . . .Who knew we were such the foodies? And talk about staying power (talk til 1 AM and still get up and ride!)
5.Some Comments:

What can I say? The weekend was so fantastic. I would have to say that the group of women that came out made the experience what it was.

I liked the idea of the brick workout. I think if we had an extra day doing a quality brick would be good. Maybe have a sleep in, some pancakes, chill out and then do a brick later in the day?

The condo was amazing! So definitely the location and facility were top notch. The dynamic of the participants and their personalities and how they “mix” together is very important – I think this was key in terms of how much I enjoyed the camp.

I would be concerned to put new or beginner triathletes into the mix in terms of the rides we did. BUT – don’t lose the intensity of the workouts – that to me made the weekend awesome.

Well that's all for now. . . .Good Luck to those who are in Coronation this weekend. . .Remember to have fun and finish strong!

And so we begin......

Welcome to the first posting on the TriDivas Blog. This is intended as an open (well relatively) sounding board for all Triathlon women out there. We have our own issues: training, families, career and relationships. My hope is that women will feel supported and connected to other like-minded athletes. We are community of fit, righteous women and we can use sport to transform our families, our schools, our communities but most of all ourselves.



Join me on the journey.
