Find a place inside where there’s joy, and the joy will burn out the pain. ⚡️ – Joseph Campbell • • • Competing in the @hitstriathlonseries 70.3 this past weekend was filled with immense nerves, extreme excitement, and utter despair. It was my first 70.3 in 4 years and a test to see where I stand time and endurance-wise for @ironmantri Boulder in 2 months. I felt on fire, PRd my swim by 7 minutes, first out of the water for my age group, and flying through the bike, on track to PR my bike by 1.5 hours 🙉. It was a euphoric feeling pushing through the rolling hills with pins and needles from the 45°F chill and riding steady through the morning misty vineyards. The beauty was confirmation as to why make a daily commitment to put myself through grueling training day in and day out in order to compete in such a lengthy, tiresome 70.3 mile race. But by mile 30, my knees slowly gave way and by mile 50, tears of pain as I gruelingly pushed through each pedal. This knee pain had initially hit me during mile 6 of my last 70.3, 4 years ago, and I’ve been ignoring it ever since, even through all of my runs around the world, thinking it was all in my head, but in actuality, it wasn’t. ITB Syndrome and Patellar Tendonitis is what I found out it was, and it’ll require a month of rehab and then slowly working up my mileage again. I’m a very competitive person by nature, but in the sport of tri, I’m not in to win it but rather, always go in with the goal of beating my own times and strengthening my mind and body. Competing in a full Ironman by 30 has been a bucket list goal since I was a teenager, and I can guarantee I’ll be meeting that goal this year, if not once, twice. 🏃🏼♀️🚴🏼♀️🏊🏼♀️ • • • Thank you to the lovely @riverterraceinn for hosting me during my stay in beautiful Napa Valley and major thanks to all of the volunteers at the race! Also, thank you guys for your support and words of encouragement, exciting to see so many of you who are also athletes! 👏🏽 The pain has given me a kick in the ass to want to go after my next race even stronger, to achieve my athletic goals, and to travel and see new places in the process! 🌎

Predstavnici ovog instituta su na Instagramu napisali da možda neće biti u stanju pratiti je u stopu kada je riječ o njenim putovanjima, ali bar mogu pratiti njena inspirativna putovanja putem Instagrama.

Going through the dozens of applications received for @herinternationalinc so far, I can’t help but feel inspired by all of the women who not only have a dream, but are taking actionable measures in order to make that dream a reality. It takes guts, courage and commitment to make a goal come to life! Now and then I’ll receive emails of inspiration from women who are devoting themselves towards breaking my record. It always has me thinking as to why I chose to break this particular record instead of one of the other hundreds of travel records out there… Rushing to every country for a record when I could have enjoyed the journey? As a woman, I saw an opportunity to do something that had only been achieved by man, to break through those barriers and make Women’s History. I never liked to think that I was potentially limited with what I could do in life because of my gender and I had an innate desire to want to prove this to the world as well; that women can obviously not only shatter a men’s record, but they can travel alone far and wide if they do so choose. I wonder why many women still want to beat my record and not break the glass ceiling in new ways or forms of travel and exploration, perhaps it’s just to prove to people that if it can be done once, it can be done again, with the possibility of seeing less and less each time. Either way, travel should be an enjoyable and educational journey, and by sacrificing my own ability of fully experiencing each country, my hopes were to pave the way for women who aspire to explore corners of the world and feel that they can safely do so alone. The years of hard work I put into this was able to inspire hundreds of thousands of women (and men!) around the world to do big things even if that thing is doing it all over again and for that, I am honorably humbled. In addition to Her International, I’m grateful to Guinness for ensuring proper documentation of my travels which lead to earning a spot in the National Women’s History Museum’s Outdoor Exhibit, thereby making my dream to leave a positive legacy behind, a reality. To all the future women who will break the glass ceiling! 🙏🏽 Happy #InternationalWomensDay 💪🏽🌍
