Just got back from participating in the Timberman 70.3 (Half-Ironman) – How Awesome! Located in Gilford, New Hampshire, the Timberman is ranked one of the best triathlon experiences in the world. This was actually my first trip ever to the northeast, and it was gorgeous. What the small towns of New Hampshire lacked in fine dining and accommodations, they more than compensated in incredible trees, rolling hills and clear, blue lakes. But let’s just say a Dallas girl is not quite accustomed to a two mile long hill climb! I’m now jealous of the super cool running and biking options enjoyed by all you Optimoms who live in New Hampshire, Vermont and the like.
I made the trip with my posse of triathlon friends. I love to treat myself to one long weekend a year to travel to a new race. It’s an outstanding way to motivate myself during training and explore the U.S. (and beyond!). Undoubtedly the destination race is always my favorite event of the year because of that outstanding combo of friends, sport and adventure.
Let me just confirm that we are “recreational” triathletes only. When it comes to the half-Ironman distance, my primary goal is to finish to the best of my ability. I approach every race as a great accomplishment, life experience, and opportunity to redefine my personal best.
