Mother Nature stops this Grandma in her tracks…

Triathlon season is upon us!

Tomorrow is my first triathlon of the season! I’m really looking forward to it because it’s been 9 months since my last one. It’s a short season, so I really want to make the most of it. Last July, the day before my first Half-Ironman, I was at the informational session put on by the event organizers. The speaker asked [...]
