Plain and simple: Saturday took me to a new level of appreciation of what my body can do. On paper the schedule looked grueling: 8:30-9:30am – Swim 10:30am-10:47am – 5K race 2pm-6pm – 3.5hr ride (4×20mins of TT intervals) + 30min run. On Friday I literally ate and drank at every opportunity. By the night I was like a [...] This is my rendition of a triathlon camp that I did out West. I’ll be posting a piece each day this week to give people an insight into the daily adventures of a pro-triathlete. Alright, so I’ll give anyone who is reading this a little background if you don’t know me. If you think you do or don’t [...] After Louisville last year, I attempted multiple times to get back on the training bandwagon but each time my knee told me, “Uhm. Not yet!” It was pretty disheartening when even swimming would hurt – kick drills were verboten and an odd push off the wall could terminate a session early. I had settled into a [...] Quick post but something I’ve been thinking of a lot lately. In the fall I got a Powertap which I’ve trained with religiously since acquiring it. First off, just by using a training tool once doesn’t tell you a whole lot of what your capable of. Tools are: HRMs, GPS and power measuring tools.

Glutton for pain…

I’m a bit old school. I may be straight, but I’m not narrow. I’m the [...] I must be getting old because I’m starting to understand this little world we live on. My “elder age” was confirmed at my swim practice on Tuesday when a woman of about 60 said, “Let’s go get’em Grandpa!” as we began a set led by three teenagers. Sorry Ma, you ain’t 26 any more if [...] We all have our favourite “go to” sites when we’re in need of information – bike setup figures, swim techniques, new interval workouts – and they fill a very important role in the 21st Century athlete’s Big Bag o’Tricks, but what about blogs? For me, there is a pretty hard set of criteria ANY reading material [...] Thats the sound a car should make. If your interested I’ve decided to repair my subarus engine. Weighing the pros and cons it came out that putting a new engine was a better financial choice. Albeit a pricey one. Here was my thought list. Pro: Rickey is a reliable car. Killer winter vehicle [...] Remember as a kid when *anything* was possible at Christmas? Like that amazingly cool race car set that had tunnels and flips … and a million feet of track! I hope you enjoy the following as much as I enjoyed finding them. Maybe your Santa will be listening … First up … your race calendar for [...] |
