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 [...] 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 [...] 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 [...]
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 [...] Finished Racing Weight by Matt Fitzgerald last week. Picked it up in California so I’m not sure if it is available in Canada yet. The book is about how to eat (no kidding) for a better performance. Fitzgeralds writing style is a bit wordy but I think anyone could get into it. That [...]
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 [...]
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 [...] 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 [...] There are not many athletes who can honestly say that their performance is never affected by mental or psychological factors. Almost everyone who competes or attempts to do their best at some important aspect of life has experienced both mental boosts and hindrances. Doubts, confidence, anxiety, poise, courage and fears for example can [...] |
