Why I Tri + Race Thoughts: 2017 YWCA Women's Tri

Oh! I felt so very accomplished after my first triathlon - a sprint distance YWCA Women's Tri at Lake Nokomis on Aug 13th 2017. I'd like to write down my race thoughts and share with you how it all began.
上週日比完人生第一個三項競賽後，自己的毅力和堅持帶給我很大的成就感。我打算寫下我的比賽心得以及分享我是怎麼和三鐵結緣的！

滿六年紀念日！My sixth-year "anniversary" in the US

Race thought: Red, White & Boom! 5 K 2017 with Twin Cities In Motion

I signed up this Red, White & Boom! 5 K race right before my first trained 5 K race at Hot Chocolate Run Minneapolis for the purpose of training my run part for my sprint triathlon race in August. Here are my race thoughts!

Kind of...ready for the race!

全家福/寶寶攝影師 [新竹 柯如] (Family portrait session in Hsinchu, Taiwan)

今年初我們一家六口，加上姊姊家兩個小寶寶和姐夫一共9人一起拍了全家福。多虧熱情，細心，又很會抓moment的攝影師柯如～我們全家在2016年初留下了美好的共同回憶。
拖了快一年才寫的心得，現在翻看這片，仍會嘴角上揚呢！！

My swim journey in 2016!!

Typical eyes after a swim

I finished my last swim training in 2016 today! It was a solid workout and I didn't disappoint myself even though I was swimming in my less favorite swimming pool, and had to share a lane with another swimmer during my timed training. 🙌🙌🙌

Madeleine recipe! (No BAKING POWDER)

Madeleine is one of our favorite desserts! The cake-like texture of madeleines with the heavenly comforting smell of butter + egg + sugar would very easily make your DAY!

Here, I'd like to share with you my recipe, using only REAL ingredients! And hopefully my tips would help your dessert-making process much easier and fun!
This recipe is based on a recipe from a famous blogger in Taiwan: Carol

健身：游泳4 & 1-2 (Where to learn to swim in Minneapolis)

健身：游泳1-4系列是在YWCA-Minneapolis上的。YWCA-Minneapolis有三個地點：Downtown, uptown, and midtown. 會選Uptown地點主要是因為離我家交通方便，uptown也相對midtown安全些。YWCA-Uptown 是一個運動中心，有健身課程可以上，有大游泳池。因為我已經是University of Minnesota gym的會員，所以我使用非會員價格購買四堂一組的一對一游泳課。在Y上完四堂後，剛好學校的一對一游泳教練也排到了，我就無縫接軌的開始在學校上游泳課。(學校學游泳的網頁Learn to swim at the U；價格是在Y的一半；教練是在學的大學生，但游泳技能基本上都很好，感覺過去是游泳隊的，不確定現在是不是）
