The Secret to the female endurance athlete
Submitted by GOTRIbal Chief on Thu, 09/01/2011 - 2:10pmIt seems like Mel Gibson's question "What do women want?" in the eponymous movie, has always remained a stickler for the boys that want to marry, date, have sex with or otherwise help women figure out if the dress (or shorts, skirt, jeans, hair tie, bracelet, etc) they're wearing makes their rear-end look big[ger].
Getting your nutrition right for your endurance sports lifestyle

Let’s get real. Eating good all the time is not easy. And our Squad, women who are elite athletes, busy moms and amateur age groupers, all leading active endurance sports lifestyles, have their breaking points. Just like them, we find our way to the frozen food section and, unashamed, buy a pint of our favorite goodie, diving in before we ever get to the car.

I must admit, I had to do a little quiet breathing the first 15 minutes to avoid pulling out the white bag and upsetting all 6 other passengers on the plane. A packed flight it was.
How to get unstuck

Finding Happiness
Submitted by GOTRIbal Chief on Wed, 05/04/2011 - 7:44am
I’m proud to say my blood runs thick with Italian ancestry. Besides having a plentiful supply of tasty carbs in my daily diet growing up, I was also the recipient of what some might consider ‘angry happiness’. Loud conversations were the norm, involving anywhere from three to 20 or more people. But in each of these, everyone was blissfully happy. Thick sarcasm and practical joke-playing were always accompanied by constant demonstrations of affection.

It's a funny thing to be in the middle of something incredible. Sometimes you forget you're there.
You get lost in the proverbial weeds. Or thorns.
Or aid stations when all you want to do is hug a volunteer who has a bucket of cold beverages, Gu's and ... nowhere to go but watch you keep going....
We're in the middle of something incredible. And by "we", I mean GOTRIbal's worldwide community of women athletes.

"When the cops pull you over and tell you that you shouldn't be riding alone in that area of Texas, well, then I knew things were getting creepy."

Do your kids, job, community obligations and daily life duties keep you from a rockin, endorphine-producing, sweat-poppin workout? Did you moan about your 30 minute pilates session at the YMCA, thinking drowning yourself in the past 3 shows of Grey’s Anatomy on Tivo was a better idea?
Rolling up your sleeves

After a lively meeting (#3 and it was only 10:30 am) with an enterprising woman business owner today (Tina Wilmott from the Wilmott Group), we said our good byes over the trash can. I tossed my garbage out and she threw her phone out.
Yes, you read that right. She held her coffee cup, and threw her phone in the garbage.
What she did next typifies a mom (especially one who's a single mom to a 17-month old toddler), an entrepreneur, and a tenacious-go-getter-type -- she laughed, and dove in.
