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.

Day 1 [...]

Diagnosing the Triple T

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 up [...]

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.

Shark Tank

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, the [...]

Triple T Triathlon

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 land [...]

5Peaks Race Report

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.  How [...]

More 70.3 Races…

The races, now known as Ironman 70.3 Lone Star and Ironman 70.3 Mooseman, will continue to be produced by Race Director, Keith Jordan and Endorfun Sports and become part of a series that includes nearly 40 races worldwide.  Each Ironman 70.3 qualifies athletes for the Foster Grant Ironman World Championship 70.3 taking place each November [...]

Helllooooo???

Wow. Been pretty quiet round here. Guess it’s officially the “Off Season”.

helllloooo!

After a few days, then weeks of frantically wondering, “What’s Next? What’s Next?” I’ve sashayed gracefully into, “Ah! This ain’t so bad!” Meaning no agenda, no “program”, no specific workout. My knee still being semi-bunged up is of course contributing somewhat [...]

World Record Marathon Atempt Today in Berlin

Watch it today on Universal Sports.

When it was announced that Kibet would oppose Ethiopia’s Haile Gebrselassie, the only man ever to run faster than Kibet and owner of the world record of 2:03:59, the immediate expectation was of a showdown against the clock between the two fastest marathoners ever.

Cliffs translation: Try to sprint [...]

Last Tri of '09

My tri season started in Quebec in early June and it ended on Saturday in downtown Montreal.  The results were actually the same, just a faster time.  A good thing I guess, considering I should be getting better after my first full tri season.

The race is known as the Esprit which is held [...]

Asics X-Trail

This is the last of the trail runs in the 5peaks series.  I signed up for this last year and of course, it’s going to go out with a bang!  This race is located on Mt. Orford; starting at the base of the mountain and going up, up and up!  It says if it takes [...]

“This is one of the biggest amateur sporting events that has ever been to Louisville and the state,” says Jeff Schneider, Interim Executive Director of the Greater Louisville Sports Commission. “The city and state have [...]
