My Famous Fails

"There are two types of riders; Those who have gone down, and those who will" I don't remember where I heard this adage, intended to reference motorcycle riders, but I feel that it applies perfectly well to cyclists as well. Everyone has a story about either a close call or an actual spill. As an ICEdot athlete, I thought it would be appropriate...

A cold Demi-Marathon des Microbrasseries (Microbrews, hurray!)

Yes. There was beer I'm Canadian and proud, so have races in the winter seems like a God-given right! With that in mind, this is a recap of my second ever winter race (the first being the Winterman Marathon 2013), which when translated from French comes out to the Microbreweries Half-Marathon. This race is part of the Gourmandes series, which...

Catching up

Wow it's been too long since I've gotten a blog post out. I figure I've got about half a year's worth of catching up to do, so I figure the best way to do so without overloading one post will be to spread it out. This post will focus on what's been going on most recently, then I'll add some older race reports in the near future. So....first...

Tough Mudder Montreal 2013

Aside from a quick stint in the Dead Sea, I’ve never really been the type to enjoy putting mud on my body. Apparently it’s quite good for you though, and is supposed to even be relaxing. The Tough Mudder is anything but. On July 7, I participated in the TM just outside of Montreal, alongside a small airport landing strip. Though I’ll be calling...

2013 Mont Tremblant 70.3 Race Report

My first 70.3 This past Sunday, I raced my first Ironman 70.3 in Mont-Tremblant, Quebec. Though my race did not go as I wanted, it was by all other accounts a great race. The race weekend began on Friday, with athlete check-in (also available Saturday) taking place in the main Mont-Tremblant village, which is in itself a picturesque...

Scotiabank Half-Marathon 2013

You never really know what you're going to get on race day. Train all winter in the cold for an early-season race, and you'll probably end up with race day hitting record high. You can end up with races in extreme heat, pouring rain, bitter wind, and everything in between. Fortunately, as I toed the starting line at last weekend's Scotiabank...

Getting Coached, Getting Sponsored, Getting Ready!

You might remember in my recent post about Triton Triathlon that I was in the market for a tri coach to help push me through this season. After doing a lot of searching around the web at different coaching options, I ended up going to some local triathletes that I know and asking their opinion. They referred me to a coach working out of one of...

Winterman 2013 Race Report

The Team in Training Coaches! Ok it's a cheesy line for a frozen race, but it was printed on my number bib, so don't blame me exclusively. This past Sunday I went over to Canada's capital, Ottawa, for the Winterman Marathon. I had signed up for the full distance a while ago, but due to a lack of proper training, I felt that I should maybe switch...

Looking for a Coach - Triton Triathlon Coaching

In my attempt to better myself as a triathlete and my overall fitness, I've began looking for a coach or coaching program. I don't really mind using an online service or interaction, but I don't think I'm quite ready to start shelling out $100+ a month for a coach, so for now I'm trying to find an effective but cost-sensitive coaching program. The...

2013: my Goals and SWOT

2013: my Goals and SWOT I've been doing a lot of schoolwork lately, and so I figured the best way to go ahead and talk about my upcoming year is the way I would on any business report. My overall goal for the year is to double the total distances that I bike/ran last year, and double the hours in the pool. Thanks to my handy dandy Timex Global Trainer, I know that last year I covered 453km of pavement, and wheeled my ass over 447Km. These numbers...
