Tri Rambling: I can swim!

I havenโ€™t done a triathlon for more than 10 years now. But lately, I feel like I need to put some of my thoughts down on my experience with triathlon and endurance sports. I am not a pro or age-grouper. I participated between 2005 to 2011. During that time, I did an Ironman and raced […]

Ironman Lake Placid Race Report: Part 3 – Where the rubber meets the road

I felt the heat right off the run. I started moving. Not sure about the pace. Kept the legs moving and the heart rate low. I was surprised at how good I felt. I wasn’t feeling fresh. Afterall, I just finished a long bike ride. However, my quads weren’t complaining and I was moving steady. […]

Overtrained!!

I was just looking over my training schedule. I think I am overtraining myself. This would explain my struggle on Sunday doing 30 km. My body wasn’t ready for it. My first week I was doing 50 km a week. This week I should be doing 83.5 km a week. That’s a lot to increase […]
