Last weekend was the final *oomph* in a 3-week build and the largest volume to date. Fancy Lake Thursday was a long swim, 4500m open water, at Fancy Lake. I started before the regular practice doing laps from one end to the dock and back (600m). It worked perfectly as part way through [...] And coincidentally my first Olympic distance. Too bad I can’t say from Sprint to Ironman but Coach had other ideas, namely a couple of warm up Olympics prior to The Big Event. It was a long, tiring, tri’ing weekend. A drive to Moncton on Saturday – after the start of the Tour of course [...] Oh my dear! What a crazy day! Started out to do a 110k bike ride this a.m., driving in to town, even though we were headed back right by our house for the first part of the ride. But. Tom had told folks we were starting from town, so start from town we would. [...] Junk Drawer It’s a Recovery Week between big volume builds and I’m sitting here relaxing, pondering and surfing. 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 [...] Wow! Guess it’s been awhile. I wish I could say that extraordinary events have kept me from updating but truth be told, I live an exceptionally boring life. If I’m not swimming or biking or running, I’m resting or stretching or eating. Such is the life of an Ironman-in-training. The only real excitement is [...] A few weeks ago, our triathlon club had the tremendous opportunity to take a Swim Power Test from Dr. Genadijus Sokolovas of Global Sport Technology. Dr Sokolovas is the Sport Science Director of USA Swimming Inc. as well as coach to some of the best of the best. (Heard of a guy called Michael [...] I’ve spent the last two weeks pretty much doing nothing. And whining. Lots of whining. Because the only thing worse than doing hard workouts day after day after day is not being ABLE to do hard workouts, day after day after day! Sciatic Nerve It started innocuously enough. A bit of a tender [...] Uphill track repeats Last weekend was our local Tri-Camp – two days of hard work in an effort to boost one’s fitness as the new race season approaches. My reason for taking part had less to do with the upcoming racing and was more about pushing myself. And running. With other people. Here’s [...] I’ve been quiet lately. Not because I haven’t had anything to say – I always have something to say – but because my current reality flies in the face of what most athletes believe is true. And frankly, it’s wearying to keep explaining, “No. I’m not crazy.” and “Yes. I know what I’m doing.” [...] Swim. Bike. Run. Eat. Repeat. Ask any triathlete why they do what they do and likely many will answer, “So I can eat what I want, when I want.” (read : eat like a pig) Good thing I don’t consider myself “A Triathlete”. See, back when I first started this kooky sport, “Doing it” [...] |
