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 [...] All of us have come to that point in a race where we turn to the aid stations for fluids. I’d say 99% of the time it’s Gatorade. You do a silent prayer that the person who mixed it followed the directions. If not you either get a syrup that makes your head spin or [...] This is probably the best article I’ve read yet on how to improve your mental game. The website also has great information on power, training and cycling. Check it out here. If you don’t read this whole clip at least take this in: I once asked a champion cyclist how they went so fast for so long. [...] Crosby. Crosby. Crosby. Crosby! Great job Canada! Way to going out in style!
This was a big day. Probably the hardest I’ve had since running the half marathon trail race in Sutton, Quebec (if you haven’t done it go try it!). First thing in the morning was another 90min swim. I began my day like any other, eat, pack, and commute . The swim was again at the Commonwealth Center. I [...] Hump day. This was my second last day at the camp and it was a busy one. On this morning the weather was quite cool. After bundling up I commuted over for the 2 hour scheduled run. I must have been eager because I got there 20mins early. I don’t even arrive that early for work! Luckily [...] After crashing early (8:30pm!) from yesterdays track, swim and run day, I felt surprisingly well. A good night sleep has always been my secret to a great recovery. On this day I got to relax in the morning. I still got up at 6:30am to use Clint Leins (Peak Performance) computer while he was out at [...] 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 [...] Its less than a week away for me to visit Victoria for the Lifesport tri camp. I am in a bit of a predicament: Whats the best way to send my bike? In the past I’ve boxed my bike up and was charged $50-100 depending on the airline. Air Canada is $50. Not a big [...] Man. It’s about 3 months till race season and I got nothing to show for it! I’m still interested in making jerseys for LMS but time is always an issue. I stumbled upon this today which shows you how to make t-shirts. But will it do tri tops? Print Your Own T-Shirts Though screen printing is the [...] |
