Three Weddings and A Funeral Marathon. I just signed up for Toronto Marathon (Oct 14th). In Sept, I have three weddings to attend. As you can imagine, my Sept is packed. I have mix feelings about training for a marathon. My longest run since Ironman Lake Placid was 30 min. My right quad still had a slight fatigue. What I do look foward is the 3 hr long runs. The Toronto Marathon was my first...
Shoutout
This is to Mike and Steven who just finish IM Canada today. Impressive. Steven came in 10:50:35 in 300 position. Mike is four places behind him with 10:50:46. I swear they must have planned it from the beginning. Both have helped me a lot in my training.
I got this video from Mike‘s blog. It’s funny b/c it is true 🙂
I have to watch Spaceball again…
Ripping it… Today the weather was 30 *C with humidity. After work I decided to go for a bike ride. This is my first bike ride after Ironman. This week, I make sure I do some sort of exercise everyday. For mon till wed, I was running 20 min or so after work. It felt great. Last few weeks, I was drained after work. No exercise made a tired Cliffy. Since I ain’t official training yet, I...
Pain is good. Life is good! Maybe this is a common man syndrome. I am not sure if you ever feel like this before. Sometimes I do enjoy being normal. Not having to swim, bike or run. Not having to worry about diet and training. I work till 6 pm. Go home then go out. The past month gone by just like that. Life feels just a bit empty. It feels like there is something around the corner that I am...

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. A lady behind me...
Ironman Lake Placid Report – Part 2: Race Day I woke up at 3:30 am and did my rountine. Showered, drank my Boost (2 bottles). I also had a cup of coffee. My friend, Len, also came along to Lake Placid. If I am going to have a big day, he will have a bigger day. A great friend he is, he will be my photographer for the day. He already plan to walk outside of the town to get some decent shots...
