Adding It Up…

As a kid, I always thought pro athletes made millions of dollars and everything was free.  These people had natural gifts that made them who they are.  Yes I was nieve child.

So as I’m riding my bike today, I start to think, how much would it cost to live/race like a pro.  Although I’m [...]

After five hours of counting at the Hawaii Ironman bike check-in, the results are in and Cervelo is on top once again—to absolutely no one’s surprise. In addition to frames, volunteers counted wheels, saddles, aerobars, pedals, aero helmets and components.

Kona Can Make Your Career…

Dave Scott.  Heather Fuhr.  Mark Allen.  Natascha Badmann.  These are names that are now synonymous with Ironman.  This past weekend two names left their mark on the Big Island in Hawaii.

Craig Alexander is a first time winner taking the overall mens race and Chrissie Wellington the repeating champion won the females race.  Both have [...]

At Least He’s a Tour Champion…

In keeping with our weekly Lance Armstrong news, I read something pretty funny today in the “waiting room” at the hospital. I started reading US Weekly (to read about just how skinny the girls from the new  90210 are) when I found some entertaining quotes from Lance.  Check it out, (from US Weekly) (I also found this creepy [...]

Gonzo…

Newfoundland Ironman 70.3 is gone from next years event.  Hopefully you weren’t like me and plan to do it next year!

Bail Out…

This week and next are my final "hard" weeks before I start to taper.  In these weeks I’m really focusing on getting as much quality mileage as I can.  Cycling is the only part of my game I’m worried about because of the day light savings.  Most of my rides I have to save for [...]

Ironman Recap: Wellington Dominates, Crowie Runs Away With It

What a great race! With course records, penalties, lead changes, dominate performances, ultimate signs of sportsmanship (or should I say sportswomanship), injuries, mechanical issues, drop-outs, and heat – this race had it all! If you watched for 10 hours (like me), only tuned into the finish, or even didn’t tune it at all, here’s [...]

It’s That Time of Year Again!

Oh ya, it’s the weekend that every triathlete waits for. The day when Ironman athletes from around the world are all watching the same thing – the Ironman World Championship! The race is this Saturday, October 11th, on the “big island” in Kona, Hawaii. It’s also the only time (that I know of) where an [...]

Measuring Heart Rates

 I’m pretty young in the multisporting world but I have trained many different ways in my short 4 year career.  I’ve had plenty of success training myself and I have begun to offer adivce to others and they too have benefitted from my experimentation.

The first thing that anyone should know about training by heart [...]
