A year come and gone (non-tri related) This has nothing to do with tri. I am just thinking about my own self development over the year. I am leading the Young Career Fellowship in my Church. I have been in this position for a year. I can’t really say I lead. There is a lot of reason why I don’t feel like I am leading….one of them is that I am a young Christian. This reason...
Relationships and Niagara On The Lake Duathlon Finish VideoLet’s show the video first..this is me running to the end. Notice the Tigger ears and my right arm moving not as relax as my left. No need to be too critical as I am still in my off season. ….. Now onto something more interesting. Recently me and my friend has been talking about relationships. It is very interesting to see...
Duathlon Niagara on the lake and a mix of thoughts.. When your bike and helmet are like this: And your run gears are these: And you finish with your friends like these…. You know you had a good race. I was wearing the Tigger ears at the end and everyone was yelling ‘Go Tigger’. I ran way too hard in the beginning. My first run pace was 3:46 min/km (6:00 min/mile!). Woah, now I...
Cliff’s Top Secret Exercise Since the tri-blog community loves to share, I will share how I slice 16 minutes off my bike leg in my last race. You cannot do this alone. I thought it was only Christina (the one in the light green) holding on my bike. I didn’t realize there were so many ppl. I was wondering why I was going so slow. (Ok I know I am a slow cyclist). The big guy is Martin...
Fear I went out last night with my friend for wings. We chit chat and caught up on what we have done over the summer. There was a moment of quietness and I told her I signed up for Ironman next year and I am afriad. What am I afraid of? The fact that I might not finish the race? The agony of getting up at 5 am and hit the pool? The stress of dealing with life and training while the sky is falling...
What tri is all about… I am fortunate to help out the Mississauga Triathlon Kids of Steels on Sat. I was de-triing for a few weeks but just watching the kids in action I could feel the race juices flowing. I was directing the kids to ride the loop or back to transition. There was one kid that hit the curb and flipped. He got up screaming. Then I ask him what happen. He told me how his wheel...
Pics and videos of the Canadian Half Ironman Full race report can be found here. Thanks for Jenny and Kelvin…they took the pic and videos. You guys are great. I don’t think he really picked. I think he just scratched. Even if he did pick, is it really that wrong??? …3..2..1….. The calm before the storm… How come that lady is grabbing my butt….. Finish strong...
Transform from within I have been writing a few drafts for this post. I want to talk about the parallelism between training, suffering and living as a Christian. I want to talk about my best moments this season is the experience and not necessary the time or the result. But I keep getting a mental block. Yesterday was the first time I did any sort of exercise after my last race. Just a bike ride...
The Canadian Half Iron Triathlon Race Report Swim (38:33) [last race 43:22] = 5 minutes faster.Finally, below 40 min. I panic in the swim. My arms were tired and I wasn’t going anywhere. I kept telling myself just keep swimming. After a while, my arms still complain. But seeing that my arms hadn’t fall off, I kept them moving. My arms are lying!For every 20 strokes of freestyle I...
The countdown 20 more min and I am leaving the office and heading to Ottawa. I am doing my second Half Ironman. This will be my last A race for this season. The goal is to go hard and fast. Interesting, I am driving 5 hours to do a 5 hr race. Yesterday there were no interview. I waited for 30 min. Asked the guard to page the person again. They told me the position is already filled ….oh...
