Road To My First IRONMAN – Mental Challenges

January 23, 2018 by Cris Leave a Comment

Happy Tuesday everyone! It has taken me a long time, but the day has finally come for me to talk about mental challenges behind my first IRONMAN distance preparation – #RoadToMyFirstIRONMAN. So, every once in a while as I progress towards the ultimate fitness for my IRONMAN race, I will be posting about my fears, doubts, and excitements I have about competing in this race.

The Road to my first Ironman - Mental Challenges It’s Monday evening and as always (for the past seven months) I am about to get into the swimming pool. As I look around, there are two girls staring at me. While I get closer to them, I could hear them talking in German: “Look at this one, she must be a pro!”

Pro? No girl. I train for my first IRONMAN full distance – 2.4-mile (3.86 km) swim, a 112-mile (180.25 km) bicycle ride and a marathon 26.22-mile (42.20 km) run, and my fourth triathlon ever….

That RUN

January 12, 2017 by Cris 2 Comments

We runners all have one. That RUN. The run that is always with us.
That RunIt is the run that we can trust ourselves to. It is the run that is waiting to get us back on track after an injury or absence for quite some time. It is where we go in the cool of the early morning, in the heat of a summer day, in the fading light of a setting sun. It is where we go to find peace, to seek challenges. It is where we go when we need to push, to hold back. It is a place we go to in all seasons, observing and feeling the changes, until the rhythm of the earth becomes our own, a comforting reminder of the impermanence of all things….

My Top 15 Running Facts for Newbie Runners

November 17, 2016 by Cris Leave a Comment

1. It’s hard at first … some will tell you even “boring” but it gets easier (fun) with time. Just don’t give up after the first run and you will be on your way to be a rockstar too!  That’s how I feel every single time I run a marathon. 😉

2. After a few tries (runs), 5k seems like a lot but one day, you’ll surprise yourself telling to a friend “I only ran 5k today.” Yeah, you already kind of love it! …
