I’m a triathlete and like to promote women in cycling, so I was surprised I only found out about this site last week. Started last March, Jessica, An Austin Runner and Triathlete chronicles the training and racing musings of this local female athlete.

Here’s the description of the site and author.

I’m a 28 year-old girl living in Austin, TX. I’ve been running most of my life and doing triathlons the last 4 years which I absolutely love. Recently I have gotten really into more bike riding, which is awesome. I now own 5 bikes and a bike tattoo, which is crazy. I am a member of the Houston Striders Running Club for life and the SoCo Running club for fun. I am also a member of Gilbert’s Gazelles, T3 Triathlon Club and Tough Cookies Cycling Club. It keeps me busy and out of trouble, usually.

Follow the ups and downs of training for a Half Ironman or just see what soemone who is new to the sport yet challenging herself is doing. Check it out.
