Fast Forward
Submitted by Melissa Marquardt on Wed, 02/22/2012 - 7:45amLast year at this time I was “balls deep” in Half Ironman Training. Fast forward one year later and I am going absolutely bonkers.
Being plagued by a damn hamstring injury that seems to rear its ugly head, just when I think it is healed up – I am left without being able to do run training … again. I took 3 months off, came back for 2 weeks and am back to square one.
On Teaching Spin
Submitted by Jenna Lyons on Tue, 02/21/2012 - 4:59pmHello GO TRIbal!
Yeehaw! My life has been SUPER hectic lately! I have started teaching spinning, climbing classes, and XC skiing trips for the university--and it seems like all I do is work! But I LOVE LOVE LOVE what I do! I love getting up early, staying busy, and talking to interesting people all day.

Flu Shot Strength
Submitted by Sara Cox Landolt on Mon, 12/19/2011 - 11:58am"Relax that muscle!" the nurse kept saying.
I looked down at my arm, willing it to relax while she finished prepping my skin for a flu shot.
Next the nurse commented on my Ironman tattoo, the small red IM logo high on my right arm near where she planned to stick me.
"What is that?" she asked with a true sense of wonder.
She wasn't expecting tattoo at all, or something Ironman related, which made me smile. I love surprising people.

Member Highlight on Jen Small

GT: Jen, where do you hang your helmet these days?
I live in a small town called Biddeford, Maine. We are close to everything-the beach (2 miles), Boston (90 mins), the moutains, the lakes.
It is a beautiful place to live, to raise a family and to train. I love it here! I am also excited to say that Revolution 3 Triathlon will be coming to my own back yard in 2012!! They will be hosting a half iron distance race in Old Orchard Beach on August 26th and I could not be happier to live right here, right now!
Pizza & Pilates
Submitted by Sara Cox Landolt on Mon, 10/31/2011 - 10:19amA frozen pizza takes between 10-13 minutes to bake once the oven is pre-heated.
Using a strategy from GOTRIbal contributor and Hot Sweaty Mamas co-author Kara Douglass Thom, I've converted my "waiting for pizza to be done time" into a perfect pizza-inspired pilates experience. Yummy!
The Myth of the Pre-Baby Body
Submitted by Kara Thom on Mon, 10/17/2011 - 4:51amDo you want your body back? Show me a woman with kids who doesn’t. I too long for that body of the 20-something I once was. But it’s not what you think.
