2nd Annual LMS “March Madness” Bracket Challenge – FINAL UPDATE March 30th

Final scores: Cliff 690, Chris: 720! It’s that time of year again! Sure, it’s the start of the “Spring Classics” in Europe, the stretch run in the NHL and NBA, spring training in baseball, but one thing means it’s really the start of spring… Of course, I mean “March Madness” in the NCAA! Last [...]

Recovery, the Fourth Sport…

Every year I’ve learned a little more about multi-sporting.  From intervals to endurance, training to racing, each year that passes my knowledge of how each discipline works grows.  One of the most important factors, recovery, has been lower on my list of priorities until now.

Boom Boom. Boom Boom.

Hear that?  That’s the sound of your heart.  Many of us don’t pay any attention to our most vital organ while exercising.  That is until we’re bent over wheezing from a hard sprint, leaving ourselves gasping for air. This week’s “Tech edition” has to do with heart rate monitors.   My question was proposed to [...]

Triathlon’s Fourth Sport

Swim. Bike. Run. Eat. Repeat.

Ask any triathlete why they do what they do and likely many will answer, “So I can eat what I want, when I want.” (read : eat like a pig)

Good thing I don’t consider myself “A Triathlete”.

See, back when I first started this kooky sport, “Doing it” [...]
