About Me

My photo
Olathe, Kansas, United States
My name is Rebecca DeMoss-Koeneke and I am originally from Iowa City, Ia, that is why I say I am an Iowa girl at Heart... I have lived in the KC metro area for almost 20 years. Since moving to KC, I married the most wonderful man in the world, Trey. For 3 years, he was a stay at home dad. Which was great for me. But in late 2010 he went back to work. That has been nice too, but required a lot of change on my part... I have two awesome kids. Peyton 7 and Emily 4. And 9 year old Border Collie Lab mix named Sinjin..... This blog will be for me to document several different things.... first of all my goal at a more healthy life. In March of 08 I began a new chapter of my life. I quit some bad habits and started Weight Watchers and working out. March 08 started out at 200lbs. By March 09 I had lost 30 lbs... In September of 09 I ran my first Triathlon. 2. I will also post updates about my family including pictures.... Unfortunately in 2010 I gained a lot of weight back, so 2011 will be another year of getting that weight off. My goal is to loose 30 lbs. Also in 2011 I am going to participate in more tris, dus and half marathons...

2010 Olathe Medical Women's tri was a success

Sorry I haven't gotten to updating my blog before now, but just been really hectic...

My last triathlon of the year is complete... And it was a BLAST... I loved it... I had a Personal Best...at 1:26:44......

Last year my time was 1:38:38....

It is not often where someone can shave off almost 12 minutes of time.. I owe a lot of it to the bike but I also improved in every area as well... Here are some of the comparisons... 2009 is listed first followed by 2010...

Place No.   Name                  Age Sex City State          Rank Swim  100yd Trn.1 Rank  Bike  Rate Rank Cumulat Trn.2 Rank  Run   Pace  Finish  263   210 Rebecca Koeneke        38 F   Olathe KS             190 13:23  2:29  3:20  261 49:04  13.0  256 1:05:46  1:07  261 31:46 12:13 1:38:38
186   252 Rebecca Koeneke        39 F   Olathe KS             125 12:26  2:19  2:05  176 42:11  15.1  145   56:41  0:48  241 29:16 11:16 1:26:44 
As you can see I went from 263 place last year out of 303 women and this year I was 186th out of 333 women....
  • Swim was about 1 minute faster
  • transition 1 was over a minute faster
  • bike was about 7 minutes faster my speed was up from 13 to 15
  • transition 2 was about only 20 seconds faster
  • run was about 2 minutes faster - going from a 12:13 minute mile in 2009 to 11:16 minute mile... this was the biggest success for me - figuring my run was that much stronger after the swim and bike.....
I am now going into a new mode of training for the remainder of the year... I am going to work on sculpting and loosing weight... I really would like to loose 25lbs this winter - but we will have to wait and see - I know my biggest challenge is food - I do not have good eating habits and I know this... but after all I have done to get into physical shape this has been the one area I struggle with the most.....

I am going to continue to run three days a week and I started the P90 sculpting routine this morning.. So M-W-F will be run days and T-Th and Saturday will be P90 days... wish me luck....

I am still considering signing up for a half marathon later this year - but I am still so up in the air about that one... 13 miles is double what I have ever done to date.....
