Pancake Ride

Saturday April 23rd - Barrie Tri Club is hosting the first ride of the season. A social ride to Shaw's for yummy pancakes and maple syrup made on site. Being a paleo athlete, I will be observing the pancake eating. Come on out and have fun. Time and meeting place to be announced.

Year of Change

This is the first time in the last 6 years that I havent had a handful of ironman hopefuls to train. What used to be a dream goal has ever been achieved or not quite there yet. However, I do have a dozen or so going for 70.3 this year and I am excited for them. The half ironman distance is great fun and easy to fit into a busy schedule. 2014 ironman canada is my next goal....I just need to get back in the pool :)

Saturday coached bike sessions

If you have wanted to come to a Saturday bike session, you can for a drop in fee of $10. Contact me for more info.

There will be no bike session on March 5th. I will be in KW with my daughter for her cheerleading competition.

Why?

There are moments in time that make me ask why?
Why change training mid stream?
Why follow someone elses program?
Why do what you know is wrong because someone else is doing it?

When you are training for your goal, stick with it. Changing your training because your bored or your training buddy is doing something different is not a good idea.
Doing something that goes against science just because you want to "show off what you can do" is the worst idea ever!
Overtraining can derail your race plans and hurt your health.

2011 Season

Great group of new Team CA athletes this year! Lots of first time 70.3 athletes. Good to see the fever of the longer distances still alive!

As for me, I am training again this year. Some sprints and a Ironman distance swim/bike this year. Now lets hope that the tailbone stays intact and the knee will allow 5k training.....fingers crossed!!!

Goodbye 2010!

2010 brought many firsts for Team CA athletes. As always a few people tackled the Ironman distance for the first time. Congrats Genevieve, John W, Carlos and Jon D.
The 70.3 meet some newbies also. Way to Go to Doug A, Michelle R, Jamie A, and Brandi.

The biggest event of the year was Kevin going the 70.3 World Championships held for the last time in Clearwater, FL. Kevin's goal was Sub 5 and we worked very hard to earn his 4:58:53! What an amazing time! Your awesome Kevin!

So as we look forward to the race season of 2011, I wish all the old and new Team CA athletes the best season ever! Lets kick some ass!
