I had been looking forward to this race for a long time: Bridgetown Long Course (Swim: 2K, Bike: 94K and Run 20K). At Christmas time I asked my parents if they minded me coming back to the farm; both to paint their house (no problem with that) and to do the race. After taking [...] This was the most popular post last year, with the chatter about Lances return. So, whose going to win the Tour? Take the stages? Crash? Overrated? Let’s talk!
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 [...] Before this year, I ran at least 60 kms a week. My reasoning was I thought there was a hypothetical minimum number I needed to keep my “base” but also allow me to continue progressing as a runner. There wasn’t much science behind this and it’s showing. Enter 2010 and the biggest running week I’ve done all year is 60 [...]
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 [...] The weeks have flown by since my last race in California 70.3. My time has been filled with a lot of training but even more with soul searching; where to next? Racing has started to become a large portion of my life, especially in the absence of a true 9-5 white/blue collar job. Getting [...] 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.
On Saturday I participated in the second of three swim races held at the University of Ottawa. This series called, “The Shark Tank”, is a mix of long distance swimming and life guard race drills. My race had 3 different events spread out over 2 hours. The first race was a 1500m time trial, [...] Up for an adventure this spring? Four triathlons in 3 days! Race 1 – Super Sprint Friday, May 21st, 2010 at 5:00 P.M. SWIM: The 250 meter swim is a counter clockwise loop course in Turkey Creek Lake with participants starting in a time trial start every 3-5 seconds. Swim start is a dry [...] On Saturday, Amanda and I ran in the 4/5 in the 5Peaks series held near Wakefield QC. If you remember, I had been here once before racing at the National Snowshoe Championships. In fact it was the same (or very similar) course. Both of us knew we had lost fitness from the summer.
