Whitfield Takes Win Number 12

This is a crazy finish!  With $200,000 on the line it’s all out sprint finish in the mens Olympic triathlon in Des Moines.

A Little Birdie Told Me…

It looks like Fredericton will be receiving a 70.3 distance race sponsored by Subaru.  This will not be an Ironman race like the one that Newfoundland had.  More like the West Coast Triathlon series in British Columbia.

The date has been selected as Labour Day weekend.  This gives plenty of time for you athletes [...]

Junk Drawer!

Junk Drawer

eDiscs from eLoad rock my socks. They taste like Sweet Tarts give you a boost when you need it AND are amusingly fizzy. My family is irreverent, caustic and some might even say “crazy” and [...]

Stretching

 

Stretching: Hate it, love it but do you need it? 

Previous studies have demonstrated that an acute bout of static stretching may cause significant performance impairments. However, there are no studies investigating the effect of prolonged stretch training on stretch-induced decrements. It was hypothesized that individuals exhibiting a greater range of motion (ROM) [...]
