Oh my God - this is unbelievable! Just be happy that no one got hurt! I truly hope the police catches those idiots!
Hi there,
I know how you feel - having a bad cold myself. I'm coughing and sneezing all over the place, not exactly fun, especially when everybody else is out on the bike enjoying the sunshine.
...
I had a hard time at the beginning as well, but now I'm getting better at it. It took me a while too to get out into the traffic. I was always concerned that I wouldn't get me feet out off the clips...
Yes, it is indeed addictive - I'm already looking for some I could do during the summer. The only thing is I have to do some scheduling with my husband (master) and my son (elite), because both are...
...I almost forgot - check out the photos on www.c3online.ca - they have posted tons of photos from the whole event. The little ones look so cute. Maybe yours are also there...
See you!
Hi Val,
glad to hear that your little ones had fun!
I checked and it were 5K. It looks like somebody was really clever and started to measure from the middle of the road instead of at the...
Hi Val,
I'll check with my club if 4 or 5K - it sure felt like 5K!
If it is warm enough without swimsuit - it really depends where you want to swim. Our guys say that for example Innislake is...
Congratulations to you too!!!
I was in one of the middle lanes at the swim and collided only once with my swim mate. She came too close and I kicked her by accident - Ouch! Sorry!
In the...
Hello everybody,
I'm so excited - I did it - my first Tri!!! It was a picture perfect day to begin with - sunshine but not too much.
The swim was great, the bike was very good and the run was...
Just wanted to share - I completed my first Duathlon last Sunday! 2.5K Run - 10K Bike - 2.5K Run. Short but good!
The first running portion was good, even though the trail was slippery from all...
Congratulations! Well done!
The first time I went out with members of our club, I fell behind (on my roadbike) and felt embarrassed. I didn't want to be a drag for everybody else. But you know...
Wow - 250 K - now that is a bike ride! I'm sooo impressed! What a wonderful idea!
Good Luck!
Hi Val,
what would we do without the confidence of our husbands... Mine convinced me to do the Short Course (2.5 run/10K bike/2.5 run) during last sunday's Duathlon Provincial Champs. The course...
Congratulations! Great race!
I have the same problem - good on the bike, running needs improvement. My first Tri comes up by the end of May. I'll see how it goes and take it from there.
Good...
Thanks for the tips. I decided to wear the swimsuit during the swim, then pull over some bike shorts in the transition zone. If I put on a jersey or not really depends on how warm it is that day. You...
Ha, ha... that sounds like fun!!! I can imagine her face at the sound of the airhorn! There is nothing better to wake up those ignorant drivers!
Hi Pedalfaster,
our coach actually took the time to discuss handling and technique during a seminar we had the same evening of the event.
Our unfortunate guy is one of the elite bikers and...
Hi Gretchen,
I'm sure you can hardly wait for next week to come around! Good luck!
Yeah, our training camp was pretty exiting. We did biking, running, swimming and yoga.
The biking would be...
Well, mine is pretty self explanatory - when I started out last fall, I had a hard time getting up hills. So one day my son laughed and said: "Mom, you're not supposed to hug those hills, just get...
I just came back from a triathlon-training-camp in Florida and quickly wanted to share one event that happened during one of the rides in regards to single-handed-cycling:
A couple of our guys...
Hi Gretchen,
I just came back from a one-week triathlon-training-camp in Florida and must say - I loved it!
Our club was stationed at Vacation Village in Clermont, Florida, a bit north of...
Thanks so much for all your advice!
When my coach saw my banged up knee yesterday, he only said "welcome to the club" and grinned.
I had my front tire fixed and tried again. This time all...
Yesterday it was finally warm enough (10 degrees Celsius plus) that I went out for the first ride of the season. It was also the first time with clip shoes outside. Well, biking through the...
Last year I had an incident with dogs as well when riding in the country. Two huge dogs came chasing down the lawn - the lawn was raised above the street level and from the street you were not able...
I decided not ot wait for spring in Ontario anymore, but to go where the sun is - mid of April our club is having a training camp in Florida!!!
Has anyone been to Clermont? It is supposed to be a...
