I guess I’ll start with my snowshoe race report. With only one training run under my belt I felt ready to do battle at the National Championships. The skies were blue and sunny, perfect for an outdoor jaunt.
There looked to be about 40-50 people taking the start line. I had never seen the course [...]
So I don’t know if there is such a thing as snow shoeing for dummies but I’ll start by writing the first page!
I’ve had a week to practice my technique, here is what I’ve learned:
1) The snowshoes you see on Inuit or natives, you know the wicker kind, mine are nothing like [...]
I don’t eat as healthy as I should. It’s not that I don’t care about my body, I do…to some degree…but rather I feel the problem lies in the fact that I listen too carefully to my body.
I eat whatever it tells me [...]
I’m going to start off with a little story. This true tale happened about… 4 years ago. My brother had been into biking and decided to borrow a road bike. This road bike was a race machine from the 80s. Made of steel and “suicide shifters”, it was a great starter bike. As he [...]
It all starts with the swim…
Last week was interesting. I was tested for Maximum Heart Rate (MHR) in my run, bike and swim. Given the interest in the process at last night’s pool swim I thought maybe others might like to hear how it was done.

So, what are you doing for Valentine’s Day? If your like most multisport athletes, your probably a big cycling fan. So, of course (maybe to the disapointment of your partner), you’ll be watching the prologue of the 2009 Amgen Tour of California! And, you might also be sleeping on the couch, but hey, how [...]
Who needs to go to San Diego, Tucson or over to Europe to enjoy a multi-sport camp?! Why not have one in your backyard!
A typical camp runs from 3-10 days. Most days have 2-3 workouts, a couple of lectures and of course, lots [...]

You remember when you were a kid and there was only two answers? It was either yes or no. Is this ok? Yes it is ok. Will this burn me, yes it will. If I eat this will I die? No, you won’t. You didn’t have to think, it was [...]
