Race: Tinman Triathlon Location: Tupper Lake, New York Distance: 1.9K swim, 90K bike and 21.5K Run Description: Swim was in a lake with a rectangular buoy line. Bike was rolling with good pavement conditions. Run was hilly for the first 5 miles then relatively flat (mix of pavement and trail). Conditions: Cool and [...] The 39th Annual Rideau Lakes Cycling Tour (RLCT) took place on June 5th and 6th, 2010. Organized by the Ottawa Bicycle Club, approximately 3000 riders started on Saturday to bike the 177kms from Ottawa to Kingston. They were supposed to return on Sunday — more about that later. PREP It was my first [...] After last weeks surprising podium finish at the TTT, this week it was back to a “normal” life; low training volume while I focused on being rested. It’s a weird sensation to be going full tilt for 10 hours then not letting the heart rate climb out of zone 1. Finishing a race [...]
This is not your typical event. This is a weekend consumed by triathlon. Each day is a physical and mental challenge to keep you moving. Over 3 days, the body will have raced longer than an Ironman distance. However, the race is broken up into “manageable” distances. Here is a recap from my perspective. Day [...]
This has been my life of late. Bouncing from one workout to the next. I’ve learned some really interesting things about my body and training long in general. One, my body hates to run at the end of the day. It’s not so much the mileage or the wear on my legs but [...] Well I’m here chillin’ in California. Have my shorts on, window open and feet up for the time being. My flight into San Diego was a long one. It started off well though as I came through customs I was asked the nature of my trip. I said to race an Ironman. The [...] Did a 10K on the weekend, Running Room St. Patricks Day race, to test the leg speed. I’m always impressed what the body can do on tired legs. After leading from start to finish I finished in an overall time of [...] 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 [...] 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 [...] 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. [...]  |
