Journey To 140.6…… Ironman Chattanooga

Ironman 140.6. Okay, there it is, in black and white. I think I may just throw up now. After all, who in the world willingly signs on to do a triathlon that will last up to 17 hours, totaling a whopping 140.6 miles? I should change my name from Organic Sport Chic to Crazy Sport Chic!

Thankfully I have an incredible support crew, including my hubs, aka Hot Hubs, who has competed in an Ironman 140.6 and countless Half Ironman Races in recent years. To double the stakes, I am a triathlon coach myself and currently training athletes, so this should be a cake walk right? Now that I mention cake, the sponsor for Ironman Chattanooga is currently Little Debbie! Guess we’ll be snacking on Little Debbie Snack Cakes & Oatmeal Cream Pies along the way. It’s a Win Win!

All joking aside, I must admit this has been a dream of mine for years. I have watched Hot Hubs and several friends race in a Full Ironman Races, and there is nothing like being at the Finish Line when they have completed such a feat. The commitment that is put into training and the dedication is mind-blowing, but in order to succeed you must have both in your sight. This is my year, and I couldn’t be more afraid and excited all at once.

Oh and did I mention that I get the amazing opportunity to race alongside seven other incredible athletes that I currently train and my best friend is coming along for support? This is a WIN WIN people! (I must keep saying this to myself)

So here’s the best part. I have chosen to dedicate this entire year of training & the race itself to a dear friend of mine, Linda B. She has a lung disease that’s incurable. She is undergoing serious chemo treatments to kill off this rare disease, and has to carry around oxygen tanks just so she can breath. She is my partner in this race, as I will be taking her along with me on this journey. Remember reading about “Flat Stanley” when you were in school? Well I’ve dubbed Linda as “Flat Linda.”  HA! Need I say more?

Every swim stroke, every cycle stroke, every run step and every ounce of breath I take, I am believing for her to find healing in her lungs from this terrible disease. She is my strength and inspiration!

One year is going to pass quickly, so I plan to blog along the way through the good, the bad and the ugly. Another wild & crazy ride has begun. Slip your skirt on, fasten your seat belts, and hang on!

LIMITED Edition-USA

Many of you know I’m the owner of Hot Chic Sports. For all you skirt loving gals and athletes out there, here’s some interesting facts about Hot Chic Sports.

All Hot Chic Sport Skirts are LIMITED EDITION and all made in the USA! We purchase all of our products from USA vendors and our products are manufactured here in the USA. We don’t mass produce thousands of skirts in the same pattern. Hot Chic Sport skirts are like no other line of skirts, and we strive to be different. We set the trend, not follow the trend.

Hot Chic Sports skirts are designed with the everyday woman in mind as well as the active woman. Hot Chic Sports set out to create the “perfect” skirt for all women of all sizes and body shapes. Not every sport skirt I tried on looked flattering,  especially from behind, thus Hot Chic was birthed! After all every woman wants to feel pretty, and HOT. Hot Chic Sports skirts range in sizes from X-Small to X-Large, and this summer we are adding the size HC2 to our line of skirts. The HC2 will be an XXL in size, but since I don’t think any woman wants to say “XX-Large” we came up with a different and sassy way of saying it. HC2! Love how it rolls of my tongue.

You asked, so we listened. Our NEW line of skirts coming out this summer will be a tad longer in length. NOT by much, but very suttle. I’ve tried on the proto-type and I believe your gonna LOVE the new design. The new skirts ROCK if I don’t mind saying so myself. Another interesting fact about Hot Chic Sports skirts is the shorts underneath the skirts DON’T RIDE UP! Seriously, they truly don’t! Our shorts (underneath the skirts) have a rubber elastic leg, so once the shorts are in place, they stay in place! Finally….. no need for uncomfortable compression squeezing my thighs, and then rolling up into my “whooHa” area!

Now, I have to ask….Who doesn’t love to just lounge around in their pajamas all day? Well, maybe not ALL day, but I do have a favorite pair of pajama bottoms I love to lounge in! Hot Chic Sports skirts feel like your favorite pajama bottoms! This statement comes straight from Hot Chics who own a Hot Chic Sport skirt. These skirts are made to become YOU. They are designed to feel as if you had nothing on at all! It’s like running naked!!! No pulling, tugging, or cinching into your waist. Just pure comfort all the way around.

All Hot Chic Sports Skirts have a cell phone, iphone, key, tennis ball, golf ball approved pocket too! Hot Chic skirts are light weight, moisture wicking, breathable and most of all sassy!

Because the Hot Chic Sport skirts are in such high demand, we have a hard time keeping them on our shelves. As soon as we debut new patterns, they are flying out of our office like hot cakes! If your looking for that little something in a skirt that’s different and sets you apart, than Hot Chic is your winning skirt! Hot Chics can be seen seen wearing these skirts at the gym, playing tennis, golfing, running, cycling, zumba, paddle-boarding, yoga, competing in triathlons and so much more. When these Hot Chics are being active, these skirts easily transition into a great outfit for meeting friends for lunch, shopping at the mall, chasing kids, or simply relaxing. Being comfortable and fashionable, a Hot Chic does it all!

Hot Chic Sports has some sassy  new patterns that are debuting this summer that you won’t want to miss. You can keep up with all the happenings on  Hot Chic Sports Facebook page and keep watch on the website for the upcoming debut! Don’t forget….. They are all LIMITED EDITION!
