LMS Log In

To start that Christmas spirit!

Figs was just BEGGING me to see the jolly old fellow this past weekend…see? Look at his smile!!! So happy!

The 2009 finale

…people say she looks like me…I wish

So this was it…the race I had been training and waiting for! Needless to say, I was slightly nervous!
We drove down to NH on Friday night, leaving Figs at our friends’ house as the park that the race was at didn’t allow dogs. We arrived in [...]

National Capital Race Report

Saturday was to be my last tune-up race before the “Big Race” at Timberman on August 23rd. Training has been going well and I’ve been proud of myself that I have been able to maintain my training along with working the past 2 weeks. Having a job and training is hard on the head sometimes [...]

Meech Lake Race Report

Race Report: Meech Lake Triathlon

As Saturday morning rolled around I was so happy to be doing a tri stationed near us which meant that we didn’t have to get up until 6am! Woohoo! The race was in Gatineau Park, about a 20 minute drive away. We have been to the park many times to [...]

To the Tri-girls Out There!

 

(Warning: due to the graphic nature of this article husbands/boyfriends/ men in general may want to skip this article!)

A few weeks ago Cliff and I decided to dial in our TT positions to make them more aero but also more comfortable. We arrived at a position that I thought would work for me. The next [...]

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 [...]

Believe in the System!

In order to tune up for my ½ marathon coming up in 2 weeks from today, ‘coach’ had me sign up for a 10km charity race on Saturday, May 9th called “Run for Kenya.” It was being put on by a school in Kanata, with [...]

Still Truckin’

So even though I have been absent from LMS for a little while, I am still on the training wagon. I am now 3 weeks out from my 1st race of the season, a ½ marathon during the Ottawa Race Weekend. So I decided in the fall that after I completed [...]

Race Report: Really Cool Prediction Run

So a few weeks ago, coach mentioned that I should do a race soon, to see where I am with my training. I was going to do the Winterman race 10km next weekend, but $45 for a 10k race seemed a little steep. So Cliff mentioned that his Hammertime Coach, Rick, was putting on a [...]

Week 1, Here We Go

Lessons of the week!

This week, coach said, was to be my 1st week of “real” training. Though I had been doing base training until this point, it was time to start back to scheduled, building training. However, as usual, there were a few hiccups along the way.

Swimming has actually been [...]
