In 2012 I ran the Kona marathon and checked another state off my bucket list. But wondered if I could do the Ironman. My goal was to try and return to Kona one day.</span><br style="color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">The Best Day Ever was going to the beach and being in or near water. We looked forward to spending two weeks every summer up North at a cabin. I learned to swim, ride bikes and run and play. I was destined to do triathlons and determined to go the distance of an Ironman.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">I would like to thank the communities of Burnsville, Savage, Prior Lake, Jordan, Spring Lake and Lydia. Also One91 school district, friends and mostly my family for all the support throughout this year. My husband and kids gave up so much to keep me focused, keep household daily routines going and just family time. Many of you may not even know that you helped me along the way. With less than 1 day to the Ironman World Championships in Kona. This dream would not be possible without all the people and places along my training adventure. My training took me and my daughter, Britney, on bike rides through Dakota and Scott counties, as we trained together for Ironman Boulder. I enjoyed sharing the course with her and proud to train through her first ironman. I appreciated the way people gave us the right of way at intersections on Highway 13, 282 through Jordan, County Road 10 through Spring Lake and the small town of Lydia. I enjoyed the scenery of farmlands and a quick wave when farmers passed by. It made those long training days tolerable. I especially appreciated the Prime Time Restaurant in Lydia and The Pointe in Prior Lake for my frequent pit stops to fill up ice and water. They wouldn't let me pay, but I've returned to these establishments and payed it forward. My family gave up countless hours to paddle alongside me during my swims in Prior Lake every </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1801789072" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #222222; font-size: 13px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Sunday</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"> morning. My son, Charlie, found creative ways to paddle when the days were windy and cold. My husband, Steve, would try to keep me away from fishing boats, but I don't usually hear when your head is constantly turning in the water. Thanks to all the boaters and jet skiers for staying a safe distance away. Your waves gave me the extra edge to train for any turbulent waters. There were also businesses that always seemed to stop what they were doing when I came into the store. Gear West, in Long Lake and Michael's bike shop in Prior Lake have given me that extra edge to fine tune my bike, fix a problem or words of wisdom. A special thanks to Hannah at Gear West for all her extra advice and suggestions. I give the guys at Michael's bike shop a hard time and say that they plant sharp objects along highway 13 in Prior Lake, just close enough for me to stop and have them fix a flat. I haven't mastered the art of changing a tube. Takes me almost an hour.</span></span><br />

I set out to compete in the Ironman Lake Tahoe last September. It was my 2nd Ironman and I knew the course was challenging. The day before the race I warmed up by swimming in the lake, running and biking a portion of the course. As the end of the day drew near, smoke started rolling down the mountains and you could smell all night in our hotel. Little sleep got me up at </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1801789073" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #222222; font-size: 13px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">2:30</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"> to go through my prerace routine. I hopped on the shuttle and started my last minute preps before the race was to begin. 20 minutes before we were to enter the water for the start of the race I went to do my last bathroom break before putting on my wetsuit. As I came out of the port-a-potty someone told me the race was canceled. I couldn't believe it. I had to hear someone announce it to make it real. Many thoughts went through my mind but I didn't know how to get ahold of my husband without my cell phone. I borrowed one from an event director and as I connected with my husband the tears came over me. All that training, time and $ spent. But when a door closes a window opens.</span><br style="color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">From the cancelation of Tahoe came unused slots to Kona. I decided to sign up for the Boulder Ironman(August 2015) because I could train all summer and not miss a day of teaching. This put me in the IM lottery from Tahoe and I got picked for the World Championship. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I'd qualify for Kona. But I was ready to take this on. Whenever I complete a race, I wear my medal to school. My elementary students always ask "Did you win." My response to them is: It's not how fast you do something, it's that you FINISH! I have been to most of the Hawaiian islands either with or visiting family. My family knows that it's hard for me to go on a vacation without bringing my students along for the adventure or bringing something back to share.</span><br style="color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">My units of Earth Science have connected my students with the changing world. They will be following me in Hawaii through the Ironman athlete tracker. Today I connected with my 5th grade classes through Google Hang Outs. They asked some pretty interesting questions and some I will have to check into after I finish the race. I enjoy connecting with my students through daily science activities and real life situations. They sent me off last week with a school fun run. I ran at least 2 miles with each grade level throughout the day. The comments from kids were "How do you keep going around the course. Can we run more? I'm going to run when I get home. Running is so much fun!" This could be the start of something BIG!</span></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14124053230248175115noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4334667330857205083.post-44238188787741520862015-03-18T08:22:00.001-07:002015-03-18T08:22:39.841-07:00Antarctica Penguins "Happy Feet"<a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0GpLxDC7toddWpsTlpGMWk0akE/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">Antarctica Penguins Happy Feet </a><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Rough terrain and interesting weather changed the course as the day went on.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We started with an overcast sky and around 32 degrees.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Strong winds, rain, sleet and snow throughout the day.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The mud got so thick there were times it felt like our shoes were coming off our feet.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We both finished the race and enjoyed all the cheers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I finished the marathon in 5 hours and 10 min.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Took 2nd place in the 50-59 age group of women.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Rose finished the half marathon in 3 hours and 37 min.</span><br />

Met my match in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Erin MacNabb, is a 7th Grade Earth Science Teacher at Trinity Valley School in Fort Worth, TX and is blogging to her students too. They actually have homework! She will be running the marathon in Antarctica too.<br />

<u>Monday, March 2, 2015</u><br />
Day of flying. Left Minneapolis at 1:00 p.m.<br />
Connected with my sister in Atlanta, Georgia and spent the night flying.<br />
We landed in Buenos Aires on Tuesday at 8 a.m with very little sleep.<br />
<br />
<u>Tuesday, March 3, 2015</u><br />
This was the longest day. We arrived at our hotel and dropped our bags.<br />
Headed out for lunch and then to start touring the city.<br />

Went for a 5 mile run. Very hot and humid. But revived me and gave me a burst of energy for the evening.<br />
Dinner reception was very informative. Met people from all over the world.<br />
Everyone here is so nice and looking forward to sharing the run on this AMAZING continent.<br />
Many people are completing their 7th continent.<br />
I don't know how people have time or afford all these races.<br />
Off to bed to catch up on my z's. So tired!<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Beautiful moonset on this chilly February morning. The moon is just coming off the Full Snow Moon, which was on Tuesday, February 3, 2015. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">These below zero runs make it very hard to enjoy. I just put my head down and keep fluttering over the icy snow covered roads and sidewalks. Sometimes my face, legs and bottom gets so numb that I can't believe that I'm even moving. My motto on these days: "The faster you run, the faster you're done!"</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">On Friday, February 6, 2015 Jupiter will be directly opposite the Sun and in the "full moon" phase. Because both planets are lined up on the same side of the Sun, Jupiter will also be at its closest to us for the year. As the Sun sets Friday, Jupiter will rise in the east and remain visible all night until setting around sunrise exactly like a Full Moon. </span><br />

Too cold to go outside for recess, so we spent the day reading about snowy weather. One of my kindergarten classes enjoyed retelling the story of "The Mitten" by Jan Brett. A classic and all time favorite story of mine. Tomorrow we are going to recreate the story with animals from Antarctica. I'm sure that the Penguin will be their favorite.<br />

So I kept on running...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What started out as an 18 mile training day turned into a 20 Miler Training. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The temperature was in the 20's-30's and sunny. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Beautiful day! So I kept running.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When I was out walking the dogs in the morning on Prior Lake, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I noticed someone running on the lake. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So I decided to finish my last miles of my long run on the lake. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What an extra workout after running 17.5 miles on chunky sidewalks and slippery paths. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So I sat on the beach and took in a few rays of sunshine. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Very relaxing!</span></div>

One of my fourth grade classes wrote questions about things that they wanted to know about life in Antarctica. We learned alot!<br />
To register for the webinar, I had to enter a question that my students wanted to know.<br />
One of my 1st grade classes asked if plants grow on Antarctica. She went into great detail and answered, that there is no plant life that grows on Antarctica. Animals rely on the water for food.<br />
Without plants there are no insects. My first reaction: No mosquitoes!<br />

Feeling pretty frozen during my morning runs these days.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, I went to the "Frozen Disney" website to find out which character I'm most like.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's what I found out. It brightened a cold, frozen day! And so true!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Check out where you fit in.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There's also games and activities for kids to play.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We're suppose to get a thaw of warmer temperatures in the next few days. Yay!</div>

Jean Pennycook has been a science teacher for more than 25 years in an urban school district in Fresno, California. She encourages her students to pursue careers in the STEM fields. Jean's enthusiasm for the teaching is reflected in her many awards and accomplishments as an educator including: NASA teacher grants, Sierra Club Environmental Educator of the Year, NSF Teachers Experiencing Antarctica grant, and district, state and national level committees and boards. Over the past 9 years Jean has provided the excitement of discovery through an interactive website creating a virtual field trip to Antarctica and the Adélie penguin breeding colony on Ross Island. During the penguin breeding season from November to January, the penguin research team lives in a tent at Cape Royds and connects the experience to students around the world. </div>

In Antarctica, you learn not to take anything for granted. Not even things as basic as food, water, or energy. The reason? Everything people depend on has to be shipped or flown into the continent. Why? There are no farms in on the icy continent. The only plants are mosses and lichens. There are certainly no cows, pigs, or chickens. Whether your favorite food is pizza or burritos, all of the ingredients have to come from other continents. As for drinking water, special systems and a great deal of energy are needed to take to salt out of seawater to make it useable.</div>
