Juggling life, work, new house, grad project, and training has taken its toll. This year unfortunately has not been about training. It has been about learning about bigger aspects. One’s that I feel right now, are more important than numbers on a piece of paper. However, I haven’t stopped putting one foot in front [...]
Here is a funny word: Osmolarity. If your a science nerd chances are you’ve heard of it. Osmolarity is basically how much solute (think salt) is in a give liter of solvent (think water). So ocean water would have a higher osmalarity level compared to lake water. Why is this important? Well, if you want your [...] Goal for 2011? I think so! The Long Course Canadian National Triathlon will take place in the Eastern Townships of Quebec. I’m thinking mountain chalet with a few days of riding afterwards; Dad you in? 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 [...]  |
