This idea of setting a word of the year on top of your yearly goals came from this need for something more than just a list of goals. A word is something that you can really nurture, nurture, pull on during each of the journey’s through my goals, and something that would support those goals that I had just set. Picking a word can be overwhelming, lets face there are SO MANY words out there that can illicit an emotional response.

The 2018 season has officially ended, and boy did it end on a fabulous note!!! While my official race season ended at Kona it had not ended with a few of the athletes on the Where Your Feet Take You Team which means that it was not over, and I got to live vicariously through each of these athletes as they went on their way towards reaching their goals. I am blessed to have had the opportunity to spectate and support my athletes at both Ironman Arizona and most recently at the inaugural Ironman 70.3 Indian Wells La Quinta.

Athletes are making their way to the Island and my Instagram is blowing up with photos and stories of everyone landing in Kona. It is a wonderfully charged time full of tension, anxiety, anticipation, and adrenaline.
Triathlon is a long game sport. This is probably one of the reasons I love it so much is there is always room for improvement, and you are always growing. No matter how many miles you put in, races you do, or training you conquer you are constantly put to a test of growth. It takes patience, and the willingness to be there for the long haul.
