I am deep into a big training block for Ironman Coeur d’Alene and that means I am often tired and grumpy. Add a few stupid drivers to a hard ride, a Triathlon Squad-mate with testicular cancer, news about ridiculous politics like bills designed to remove environmental legislation and force a pipeline thru BC, and you [...] more
Well today is a super easy day on the legs with just a quick 30min jog around the park to help flush out the muscles and keep the legs ticking over. I quite often do this with Ava in the pram but today was a little wet so it was a solo effort. The speeds not important, its probably close to 6min ks or about 8min ks when I am pushing the pram. So time to show you my favourite run loop....Which shoes to pick??3.39pm start time on the Timex watchChose the Saucony FastwitchOut the drivewayDown to... more
I just found some more images from Ironman Australia and wanted to share… Public service announcement: Rudy Project Wingspan aerohelmet= most comfortable ever! I have a hot pink one that I am going to have to bust out one of these days for a special occasion. Photo by Delly Carr/ Sportshoot I think that is my “Oh dear god I can barely stand up!” face. Photo by Delly Carr/ Sportshoot I kind of love the suffer-face behind me in the one above . . . But this will be the end of Ironman OZ... more
There’s something very amusing about travelling to a race on a 6:30am flight, all concerned about compression, hydration and stretching whilst half the passengers are already getting boozed for a stag or hen do. Powerbar drink or double vodka… hmm?!The season proper (post the San Juan 70.3 test race) kicked off for me at the 2nd 70.3 Majorca and I was not only looking forward to the race, but just to get some warm sun on my back. My girlfriend Jen had also travelled out with me (and organised... more
I have had to make the tough decisions to withdraw from Ironman Cairns which I was due to race on June 3rd. I aggravated an old back injury at Ironman Melbourne in March and after it initially got better in early April and I was back into the full swing of training it decided it didn't want to go away. I haven't been able to do any running since the middle of April now and last weekend I competed at the Busselton 70.3 and struggled through the pain to finish 4th. This was literally the... more
Back by popular demand: the GCM post-race interview. On Sunday afternoon, we sat down at our favorite coffee shop and I grilled him about his Ironman St. George experience. Last year he finished second in this race and although he missed the win by less than two minutes, he was very pleased with his performance; however, this year his second-place performance was a disappointment to him. Below we discuss. Photos with many thanks to the great Sue Hutter! If there is anything I didn’t cover here,... more
Over the weekend while the Professionals finalized Olympic selection the Age grouper also got the chance to be in the limelight for the ITU San Diego Triathlon.The Age Groupers had the chance to race over the shorter Sprint Distance Triathlon or the Olympic Distance. The organizers organized a very challenging bike course over the notoriously steep Mt Soledad. Several teams members decided to take on the 2 looped Olympic distance. Marisa Rastetter took top team honors taking out 4th place in the... more
This weekend was a spectathlon extravaganza here in Tucson. That’s me, Cat, and Aunt Sammy camped out watching the men’s ITU WTS race in San Diego being broadcast live over the internet. We got it hooked up to our TV and it was awesome! Of course proper virtual spectating for these deals requires multiple computers: one for video viewing, another for checking out live splits—and sometimes a third for discussing the action with other superfans via the internet. Love it. The races were so... more
I have made it home safely to New Zealand after several long flights to get here from St. Croix. About 24hrs of flying plus extended layovers at each stop so by the time I got home I have slept and slept. Almost time to invest in a private plane like one of my competitors from last weekend, Lance Armstrong. My third and final race of this trip was the St. Croix 70.3 in the US Virgin islands in the Caribbean. It is a race with so much history behind it and so many legends of our sport have been... more
