Waseca Triathlon is back and better than ever with new courses and discounted pricing for youth participants!
From Final Stretch
We are thrilled to say that the community of Waseca came together to make this triathlon possible in 2016. We strive to breathe new life into this fantastic triathlon and build on the astounding engagement we have seen from Waseca so far. First and foremost our goal is to be as inclusive as possible and make this a community and family oriented event.
To do this we have eliminated the 1/3 Iron Man Course and added a Super Sprint Course. This course has been carefully created with new triathletes in mind, including a 200 yd swim, 6mi bike, and 2mi run. We also hope to get the youth of Waseca involved as well, so in addition to the new shorter course, we are also offering a youth discount that grants reduced pricing for all participants under the age of 19 that register for the Super Sprint or Sprint Course. The Sprint Course will be a little longer than in the past with a 1/3rd mile swim, 16 mile bike and a 4.2 mile run. As always, we will have our Kids Tri for youth ages 5 – 12....

2015 – First Pro Year in Review
By Heather Lendway (heatherlendway.com)
Well it’s 2016 so it’s about time to reflect on my first year racing as a pro. Following Austin (back in November) I took two weeks completely off: no swimming, no biking, no running and no strength work. I honestly can’t remember the last time I ever took that much time off since I started swimming competitively at age eight. It was definitely a good mental and physical break before building back into some solid training for 2016.
It’s hard to recall all the way back to early March when my season began in Clermont, Florida, seventeen races ago. With the Lifetime and 5i50 series crumbling last year my season became a random mix of short course draft racing (including a super sprint), non-draft Olympic racing and an intro to 70.3 racing, something I definitely wasn’t planning. Here’s a quick look back at my schedule/results from the year:
- March 7th, Clermont Camtri ITU Draft Legal, Clermont FL, 10th
- March 14th, Sarasota Camtri ITU Draft Legal, Sarasota FL, 8th
- March 15th, Las Olas, Ft. Lauderdale FL, 2nd...

We have another Everyday Inspiration interview! As you know, an Everyday Inspiration is someone who inspires me (and likely others!) to keep pushing on in my quest to live a healthy, whole, happy life. These inspiring folks are day in, day out living their lives with an extreme investment in themselves, and are committed to healthy habits that work for them. Every single day.
You guys, I found this awesome lady from my amazing daycare provider. You just never know how you will cross paths with people, you know? She was telling me about her cool friend who was in Australia about to compete in some big race, and how she was so proud of her. Then she keeps telling me about this lady, and you can tell she is SO PROUD ...

New Years Resolution Stuff: Part I...

Some folks make New Year’s resolutions and some don’t. One reason that the “don’t do it” group doesn’t is that failure to keep has not been an uncommon experience. This column, Part I of a two-part series, contains some general principles for resolution-making that in my experience can help you to succeed. Next month we shall turn to some particulars, particularly in the area of mobilizing motivation.
For starters, don't be put off in making a New Year's resolution by previous failures in keeping resolutions. There are many reasons why we fail other than the lack of will or lack of dedication or some other internal fault upon which we often put the blame. Often it is, rather, that we fail to correctly go about the resolution-setting process in the first place. In other words, more often than not when we fail, we have set...
