Sick !!!

Where do your long runs take you ?

Ironman & Xterra

"climbing yellow lake"

Well, what a week ! After 2 trips to the ER room. I am ready for a little rest. Ironman did not go as planned. I was feeling great after the swim (1:03) I really didn't push it hard, I just wanted to feel good coming out of the swim. 167 km into the ride the heat was getting up there and I really don't remember much after that. You can read all about the accident here in the Whistler Piques news .

So after that little bit of fun, I wanted to race the Xterra Canadian Championships here in Whistler. Maybe I would get a spot to Worlds Xterra in Kona. Well, I took the advise of my coach " Just go out there and have fun and don't push to hard"

"And their off!"

Another beautiful Sunday for racing, the race went really well for me and I made sure that I didn't push it over my limit. My heart was still beating hard and I never really felt that I was in the " red-zone" . It's sometimes fun to race for fun. I was joking all the way and thanking the vollies who were out there for a very long and hot day.

A big congratulations to Brandi Heisterman, local gal. Who came 2nd in a very strong female field

Best quote of the day was from Brandi " Trail running is so much fun ! I can't believe it "
Here I am finishing up in 27th over in Canadian Championships, not bad after a hell week.
Until next time....enjoy the dirt.

Really ?

5 peaks Whistler

What a great day to be in the alpine for the 5 peaks in Whistler. Don't ya wish you were there ? Just look at the picks. I didn't race because I am getting ready for Ironman next weekend. Knowing my luck I would have twisted my ankle or something worse. I missed most of the race due to the fact I had to give a trail runner a lift to the Whistler medical clinic for his broken ankle. Poor guy.
Love the kids race always a fun one !

Semenuk's winning run at Jump Ship

Up next .... Rundle's revenge

Up next on my list of races in the Rundle's Revenge in Canmore. There are many race at this event to enter in. The Full Donkey will be the one for me. It will be a 100 km mtn bike race on the Sat, followed by a 50 km trail run on Sunday. This will be a great training leading up to Ironman. After a very long spring with rain and cold, I have headed south to Utah for some sunshine and training. The weather has been hot and warm and I am loving it !! The Alpine flowers are in full bloom. So sweet !


I hope everyone is getting out there. The weather as been so good down here and I have started swimming in a great outdoor pool. It's a 50 meter pool , so not many flip turns. I have also testing the Suunto T6 with Movescount program that logs all your moves, check it out. More from the pool later

Where will your adventure take you today ?

Don't miss this one !

This will be a film to watch,I can't wait to see the full version. It's due out in the fall sometime. Makes me want to to run now!

Olympics Vs X games

What is bigger or better ? Olympics or X games ? Seems like X games will be hitting 6 different country for a global tour. Lot of people like the x games for the "cool" factor, but winning an Olympic medal is way harder. The Olympics only hands out medals every 4 years !

You make the call ? Are you an X- games kind of guy or an Olympian ?
