Fittest Dog?

Last year myself and Chris stayed at the lovely house of Jamie Cleveland and Andrea Fisher in Austin, Texas. On a beautiful Saturday morning we were out all running including their dogs, Venus and Mollie. These dogs had boundless energy as we ran 12-15K easy. Below, Mollie was named one of the fittest dogs in [...]

PTA – Let’s Rock

I think one of the reasons I consider myself a part time athlete is that I just haven’t found a sport that I can totally devote myself to. I like to try sports and games to figure out what’s fun, what’s not, and how incredible painful horseback riding is. [...]

Hardest Thing I’ve Ever Done Part II

After all the shananigans it was time to be electro fitted and put in my water jump suit on. This “suit” was made out of a nylon material with tubes running through it (for the water of course).

The two students wanted to measure how my body gave off impulses due to the shivering. Electrodes [...]

Roller Coaster Week

… or perhaps subtitled “Beware the Ides of March”.

Et Tu Brute?

I was hit by another bout of flu courtesy of Dear Daughter, hours after I wrote my last missive. Be careful when saying how great and uneventful training is or prepare to be hit by the inevitable lightening bolt or, in my [...]

Hardest Thing I’ve Ever Done…

The test I did today… Well, I’ll let you be the judge.

Before I begin, here was my itinerary for the 24 hours before the test.

There are just a few instructions as well:

1) No exercise within 24-48h 2) No caffeine or alcohol within 24h 3) we ask that you eat ~550 g [...]

Last Round…

Wanna here how my day is going to start tomorrow….? This is my last test performed at 7am. Yuck.

For the experimental sessions, I will be required to sit in a 5°C room wearing a liquid conditioned suit that circulates 5°C water next to the skin for up to 4 hours [...]

Remember to Refuel During Long Rides!
