Just Let Me Sleep!

Dogs do not get much credit for being smart animals as compared to say cats or even pigs for that matter.  Let me tell you that indeed not all dogs are thinkers but some are.  Case in point is my dog Figs.

Figs is an Australian Shepherd, a breed that is known to be smarter than [...]

Three Weeks Already?

Yes the first block is done.  It’s taken me from the couch to well, back to the couch.  Although my state of mind/body has gone through a successful transformation.

Whats a typical week look like?

Monday – Swim (3000ms) in the PM, sometimes a short run in the AM

Tuesday – Run (30mins) AM, Swim (3000ms) in the PM

Wednesday – [...]

New Jersey

No not the state, I mean new JERSEYs.  As in it is time LiveMultiSport gets a makeover with new tri tops/suits.  I still wear the first version (grey tank top) but I think it’s time we put the logo onto a real suit. 

Champion Systems seems the be the best bet for ordering.  Simply because you can [...]

5Peaks Race Report

On Saturday, Amanda and I ran in the 4/5 in the 5Peaks series held near Wakefield QC.  If you remember, I had been here once before racing at the National Snowshoe Championships.  In fact it was the same (or very similar) course.

Both of us knew we had lost fitness from the summer.  How much, well [...]

Day 1 – Bike Testing

Workout

Warm up – 20 min warm up, with 4 sprints of 30s to loosen the legs.

Main Set – 2 x 20min TTs with a 10 min rest.  Coaches advice: If it doesn’t hurt (at any time) your not going hard enough.

Cool Down – 15 mins

Yes this is what I got to wake up to yesterday.  Before [...]

Well said Mr. Gruenfeld. Well said.

I don’t normally like re-posting someone else’s words. But this? This is worth it. When immersed within the triathlon world, it’s hard to remember how the rest of the world sees us. And for those that cross the finish line, once you’ve accepted the accolades and given yourself a well-deserved pat on the back (or [...]

New Start

Here we go again.  The 2009 season has quietly come to an end.  After 2 weeks of a very relaxed schedule I’m starting to get ready for another year.   There are going to be some changes, new coach, a switch in swim programs, more focus on diet/nutrition and a very motivated self to complete the [...]

Where to Buy Stuff

Over the last month I’ve prowled every website and classified for a Powertap.  Like everyone, I’m looking for deals.  Here’s what I found so far:

Ebay – Surprisingly they do not have the cheapest prices.  If you don’t live in the US, cause let’s face it the Canadian Ebay blows, your going to get hit with [...]

10 Ways To Rest Up

In no particular order.

1) Go home and let your parent spoil you with food and not having to clean.

2) Bud Lime Beer. Liquid diesel calories.

3) Some deserts. I don’t go overkill but having one once in awhile isn’t a bad thing.

4) No triathlon sites! Focus on other stuff, like buying stuff you [...]
