- Animo Triathlon Results
Results of the Animo triathlon are out. No big surprise here, I had a fairly clear idea of my performance… I was 8th out of 17 women. Not bad for a first timer who was enjoying herself throughout the race. It felt good to know that the 1st and 2nd placers were teenagers—no way I [...]
- I Missed You!
I worked till 11 or 12 last night. The hubby arrived from a meeting shortly after. We were both exhausted. But, before heading off to sleep, I started packing my bags for an early morning run. Hubby asked if I’d be able to wake up at 5 am. I replied “I have no idea but [...]
- Animo Triathlon – My First Tri
I came, I swam, biked and ran, and…I conquered! As I type these words in the comfort of my own home, I can’t even believe I had just finished my first triathlon early this morning. Was that really me? You mean I managed to finish the race without drowning or clinging on to the lane [...]

- The Search for a Tri Suit
By now you should know that when I set my sights on something—be it a marathon or an antidote to shin splints—I can get pretty obsessive about it. The upcoming Animo tri was not an exception.

My son rolls his eyes while my daughter, fortunately or unfortunately for her, stays dozed off in the backseat of the car. Today, however, my children didn’t get any of mom’s [...]
