Good Morning Cliff. As a triathlete that also has to be careful what I eat on race day, I have struggled with this. What do you use for longer races, like 3 1/2 to 4 hours? If you read my post last year on the KTown Tri, I note that gels are only easily [...]
So here’s a story for you. I wouldn’t have shared this except this scenario happened to me twice, in the same store, in the same place, and almost at the same time.
Last Sunday I was at Bushtakah’s discount sale on the hunt for gels. I ran out so I wanted to take full [...]
You hear it all the time, are you getting enough Omegas in your diet? Are you eating enough fish? Well I can safely say that I’m not. I know fish is good for you but I’ve been having a hard time getting it in. This is truley frowned upon since I am from the [...]
I just returned from sunny Wintergreen, Virginia, soaking up the rays and doing some cycling. Because there were so many things I could talk about, I got some people to send me questions asking about the trips particulars.
what was the format (was it planned or wung)?
- we had a [...]
Had a thought last night while a Subway commercial came on during the hockey game: where does Subway’s meat come from? Back in the day, like 2000, when Subway wasn’t on every corner, the food seemed more fresh. Now with the ever growing fast food price competition it seems that the once healthy option [...]
I’m not as lucky as my brother who is gallivanting Virginia’s mountains. If you have time, check him out on Facebook (or here) if you’re wondering what the terrain looks like.
Trips’ = What I call triple workout days.
So I had back to back trips’ concluding today. Lots of swim, bike and [...]

On tap this weekend was a lot of exercise! It was frequent and mostly intense. Heres how I handled it.

Finished Racing Weight by Matt Fitzgerald last week. Picked it up in California so I’m not sure if it is available in Canada yet.
The book is about how to eat (no kidding) for a better performance. Fitzgeralds writing style is a bit wordy but I think anyone could get into it. That [...]
In case you are trying to make “good choices” and find yourself heading toward the words “organic”, beware! Appearances CAN be deceiving:
MYTH: Organic companies are small and environmentally friendly.
Find out where your food comes from. You’ll be surprised. If you think that tiny little organic food company has a halo over [...]
You are what you eat. So you eat ham, are you a pig?
I eat mostly healthy. Like you eat veggies with gravy?
I don’t have time to make supper. But you have time to watch 2 hours of tv?
I hate cooking. Is turning on a stove that complicated?
Food is such [...]
Yes I know, I’m very late writing in from my recent race. I was reminded that I SHOULD have a race report up at least 12 hours after. Sorry folks. Next time I’ll pre-save what I think is going to happen and then put that up. Might not be accurate but hey, it’ll [...]
