My Cannondale is looking pretty amazing after getting cranks and hand pump painted to match. I'm obsessed 🤩

Amazing weekend of riding (~270km) through the Cambodian countryside to Koh Ker and Preah Vihear temples. Last push before my race - 6 days of rest before my 70.3 tri!

Any Americans residing in HCMC, Vietnam? I'm hosting a meeting of Democrats Abroad this Thursday. While I am keen for some venting I also want to see how others are staying involved but staying sane. Please share with anyone who might be interested. Event link: fb.me/e/2k5rkeEkj

On my ride today I saw this man on the ferry - apparently in America this is a fortune in eggs. Here in Vietnam they are going for 1$/dozen... Hope it stays that way.

3 weeks until 70.3 triathlon and I'm feeling powerful, but look how bad the bee sting on my inner thigh is - 8 days later and still it itches and stings. 😥

Excellent brick session today with 60k/10k. Felt strong - even riding a much heavier bike because my Cannondale is getting new spokes. Exactly 4 weeks until 70.3 triathlon! #triathalon #tritraining #brick

Working on my #structuralstrength so I can do my triathlon injury-free. I was amazed how much my riding improved when my trainer started forcing me to do core work 🤠 #triathalon #tritraining

First session in my very first tri suit! I was worried I would hate it but it felt super comfortable for a ride-run. Let's see how it feels on a swim-ride tomorrow. #triathalon #beginnertri #training

I'm training for a triathlon in March and in feeling pretty good about my swim - big thanks to Wake Park Cambodia for letting me train in open(ish) water. The run still worries me..
