LMS Athletes Podium On The Weekend

What was described as one of the toughest races ever by both Amanda Lohnes and Cliff Worden-Rogers, it was all they could do to finish the tough 5peaks race at Tremblant on Saturday.  Both athletes put in a great effort, Amanda finishing 2nd (woman) and Cliff finishing 3rd (overall).

The course had very little description besides 230m of [...]

Eye Exercise

Most triathletes can’t do enough already.  So why not work on your eyes!  You’ll be the strongest sighter in the group.  Is there age group awards who can see the best?  Should be….

For almost a century, eye exercises have been promoted as a way to strengthen vision and ease nearsightedness and astigmatism, much like exercise [...]

Better Drilling = Better Driller

Borrowed from: Chuckie Vs Blog.

Just as it is with stretching* I’m not an ardent advocate of drills. Now before anybody gets themselves in a tizzy, I must first assert that I am not talking about motorized drills like the kind they sell down at Home Depot, with batteries and bits and lengthy warning labels. Those [...]

a long distance training weekend.

notice the title. a training weekend. even though it was ottawas biggest running race weekend this was just training pour moi. which is kinda difficult to understand really. why enter a race, and not race? well, it’s cause (i think) you want to be in peak shape, or have planned to race, your “race.”  so, [...]

Odot Half Race Report

Last fall, after completing the Fall Colours Half Marathon, where I posted a 1:49:52, I pronounced to Cliff that I wanted to do a sub-1:40 half in the 2009 Ottawa Race Weekend. While knocking off  9 minutes in a few months might have sounded  a little overambitious, I was pretty sure that I could do [...]

Bytown 171 Success

Great weekend for playing here in Otown.  Under sunny skies on Saturday, over 30 athletes participated in the inargual Bytown 171 comprising of a 100K ride + 10K run (on Sunday another 40K ride + 21.1K run).

The Worden-Rogers duo of TJ and Cliff, participated in this great charity with all proceeds ($20, 000+) going to [...]

Gut Rot

Here are some great tips from Ben Greenfield for avoiding gas build up.  If it hasn’t happened to you (thank your lucky stars!) it may at some point.

Endurance athletes need heavy amounts of carbohydrate based fuel. When this sugary fuel meets up with the bacteria in your stomach, digestion and fermentation produces CO2 – the [...]

Watch the Giro d’Italia Online for Free

My new favorite website (beside LMS and CWR of course) is UniversalSports.com. I’d never heard of it until I tried to find some live video streaming of the Giro d’Italia, usually on Cycling.tv (for a $$). But, on there it was stated that they had lost the rights to broadcast the race. It seems [...]

Race Report – the dog loop Freddy beach.

so. bike racing. kind of the antithesis of a triathlete. however i grew up as a bike racer. running and swimming, not really my thang. but in fact, i started triathlon as 1) a way to cross train, biking was just too much 2) the tri group is much less anal retentive. but having not [...]
