The Women’s Race

Empowering women through endurance sport.

Another week has come and gone...hope it was a good one!!

I have to say, I'm truly enjoying Kona training lately. This week I've felt my run fitness finally return and even surprised myself at track this week during a 5x 1 mile descend workout where I was able to get down to my fastest mile of the year, YAY! Considering everything I've been doing both in and out of training, and most importantly how the effort felt, things are definitely trending in the right direction. I've also started up on some heat prep, which is not anyones favorite thing to do...so stay tuned for plenty of annoying pictures on that from me and everyone else getting ready to roast out in Kona :)

The Road to Kona giveaway series is going strong, I'm truly impressed with the response!! Each week you are entered to win some awesome prizes from my sponsors, including gear and gift cards from: Zoot (last week we gave away $500 gift card!), Garmin (see winner below!), Raw, Rudy Project, Blue Seventy and more!!

Read on for what’s happening on this week’s pod, some things I’m thinking about, and more from The Women’s Race
