Law of the Present Moment

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 have [...]

Hard Ass Day.

Mental Game

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:

Go CANADA!!!

Crosby.  Crosby. Crosby. Crosby!

Great job Canada!  Way to going out in style!

Day 5 – Sweat Test

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 [...]

Day 4 – Mt.Douglas

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 [...]

Day 3 – Push It

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 [...]

LifeSport Pro Camp – Day 1

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 [...]

Jerseys…

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?

Book Review: Off the Deep End

I found this book while doing Christmas shopping for my Mom.  In our family it seems like a lot of the literature that we pass around has been about running.  Well I wanted to change that.   So I started searching for a swim novel.  Enter the book “Off the deep end” by W. Hodding [...]

Job Shadowing

Perfect jobs?  Is there such a thing?  I mean if your not working at work, what would you call it?  Here are some “jobs” which might not seem so tough.

Paradise Island Caretaker

Ben Southall, 34, of Petersfield, beat out nearly 35,000 applicants from around the world for the dream assignment to swim, explore [...]
