โAnother day another boot packโ ๐ we need crampons. Scenes from a very icy morning ๐ฟ. ๐ธ @eric_lagerstrom
We needed a safer 4WD vehicle for winter driving, and somehow Eric convinced me that a 2011 FJ cruiser was the safest (*coolest*) option. I wasnโt a fan at first, but itโs actually very fun and basically bombproof. Also has a plastic lined trunk to hose down when Flynn decides to take a mud bath. Weโll get a brand new 4runner one dayโฆ ๐. #toyota ๐ธ @samanthaweald
Really excited to be partnering with @castellicycling for my cycling and race kit this year and beyond ๐ฅ. My #1 priority with apparel is comfort, and after testing several race suits the decision was easy. The winter riding apparel is also the absolute best in terms of fit, fabric and warmth - obviously very important for Oregon training. Lots of fun things in the works! 2022 letโs go ๐คฉ ๐ธ @samanthaweald
New TTL episode: getting back to training + a little bit of cooking. Winter camp in full force. Link in bio! @that.triathlonlife
Getting back to running: hard, but feeling better than I expected. Much easier with friends + dogs. Thanks for the ๐ท @samanthaweald! โค๏ธ

Last minute decision to ski a lap at 4pm, thereโs a reason the parking lot was empty ๐ #icecloud but we still had fun. #WNTRteam #swimbikeski @that.triathlonlife
โYou donโt get vert in the pool!โ - @linseycorbin (Just kidding weโll start swimming again on Monday). Happy New Year! #thattriathlonlife #vertchallenge
PDX -> Bend. Dying to get back to a routine at home, which probably means that itโs been an appropriate break ๐โท๐ช๐ท๐ซ ๐ธ @eric_lagerstrom
Todayโs temps were only for the die-hard ski fans (which I am not), but my dad is, so we kept him company ๐ฅฐ๐ฅถโท #frozen #merrychristmas
Xmas shopping: started at 4pm, finished at 4:30pm ๐ ๐ผ. Always thriving under pressure. Merry Christmas Eve! ๐คฉ #thattriathlonlife #shoplocal

First truly pain-free run in 8 months ๐ญ! (Short and slow but it still counts). 2021 has been a struggle, faking my way through a few races with zero run training, and barely being able to walk after. Thanks to @jaydicharry and @mobo.board Iโve been really diligent about physio since the beginning of November, and have given my ankle a real rest from training. Taking all pressure off timelines and not testing my ankle before it is truly better. Running in Canmore is a bit magic, too ๐. Finally Iโm slightly excited for racing in 2022 ๐ ๐ธ @eric_lagerstrom

Canada bound for Christmas. Not the most fun winter drive โ๏ธ but we canโt fly because we have a small horse to bring with us. ๐ @that.triathlonlife

The predictably perfect gravel loop. Doing it as many times as possible before the snow rolls in. ๐ฅฐ ๐ธ @eric_lagerstrom
Brutal conditions and not the best day for Eric, but proud of him anyway โค๏ธ I was actually glad to be on the sidelines for this one ๐. Now for some much needed rest! ๐ธ @chrishuang95
