This is a question I have fielded quite a bit since my Ironman this past summer. I have stood on the podium for both an Ironman and a multi-day adventure race so am equally competitive in both sports. The other element that makes this a fair analysis is that I am deeply passionate about both… Read More…
Florida Sea to Sea 72 Hour Adventure Race Report
And just like that, I am no longer new at the 72-hour race distance. I have now completed 2 of them in less than one calendar year (my first one was last May in Iowa) and I have learned a lot and dare I say, come a long way. I will be sharing some of… Read More…
2017 Race Schedule
I think I very well get the worst friend of the year award. Recently, one of my closest university friends let me know she was engaged and asked me to be a bridesmaid. My response was: “As long as it isn’t on one of my race weekends.” What I really meant was as long as it… Read More…
Race Report: Raid International Gaspesie
“So Jess, how EXACTLY do you plan to even begin to explain this race on your blog?” Brad asked me. It was 6 am on our fourth day of racing and we had been canoeing for about an hour. The canoe portion of an adventure race is one of the rare times that we can… Read More…

Polar Performance Report: May
Well, May was certainly an interesting training month. I did not log the run mileage I normally do simply because I took almost three weeks completely off to heal up my shin. It is certainly much better and I am cautiously putting a load back on it. I am pleased that I didn’t run it… Read More…
Muskoka Training Weekend and 72 HR Adventure Race Prep
We are on a solid one post a week average, folks! Sadly, the trend will not break this week, but I did want to dip in and share some of the things I am learning in my training lately. This past weekend was a holiday weekend for Canadians so Mark and I headed to… Read More…
Goals for May 2016
Happy Wednesday everyone! I am back from a little bit of a hiatus. Last week was my heaviest week of training in a long time and combined with a solid work week and I didn’t have much time for anything else. Needless to say, I am back and ready to talk goal setting. I have some… Read More…
Goals for April 2016
Um, March? That is kind of how I am feeling about this past month. I have been running 100 miles an hour and I can hardly believe that we are in April already but I am so excited. It means warmer weather and summer adventures are just on the horizon. As I always do, it’s… Read More…
