Move Along…

It’s coming to a close, my life in Ottawa that is.  In less than a week I’ll be in my new “home”; London, Ontario.  What I thought would be an easy time,  ie: only taking 12 hours turned into a two day affair.  The short story is I found a great place which I’ll [...]

Triple T Ohio - 4 Triathlons in 3 days

 

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.

Singles, Doubles, Triples

 

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.

what was the format (was it planned or wung)?

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

Nutrition - Do you care?

 

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 [...]

Oceanside

 

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 [...]

Fightin Irish

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 34:06.
