Around the Bay road race (30k) resultsTime 2:38 10 k splits: 56 min, 53 min, 49 min(!) Interesting event along the run: – I chatted with a fellow runner who had a IM Lake Placid Jersey. It turned out he was the driver for the mechanic who fixed my bike last year when I did Lake Placid. What a small world. I ran faster and passed him. I wished I got his name and thank him for helping me...
Thoughts.. Quick post. Most of the training are unseen. To the majority of friends and family, I rarely discuss about my training. The 5:30 am sessions. The endless hill repeats. Being the only one in the pool. The basement long rides. They are not seen. They are not to impress. They are the building blocks to executing a successful race. I was thinking three years ago when I first ride with...
Crank it like it hurts. The Easter weekend come and go. On Fri, we had a Good Friday Service. On Sat, I went snowboarding. On Sun, three of my buddies got Baptize. It was a great day to be in celebration with them. I have a race coming up this Sun. It is the Around the Bay (30 km run). There is always a feeling of not ready and not prepared. This season around, I haven’t been training as...

I shared this on Good Friday. I figured it would be a good place to jot it down here. A lot of people has known me as Cliff the triathlete or Cliff the Ironman. What a lot of people don’t understand is the impact Jesus has done in my life. I had a liver transplant 17 years ago. I bumped into a coworker yesterday and she was about my age and had breast cancer. I emailed her my story and she...
Back from Boston – the drive was 8.5 hrs one way. That’s about the limit I can drive on one day.– drink a whole lot of coffee. On average, I had 3 cups a day.– Had a lot of junk food. It is very difficult to eat healthy as there are only fast food restaurants along the highway.– University tour. We visited Harvard and Browns University. I feel smarter just by being...
Reading materials and Boston Bounded As I am getting ready to go to Boston, I glanced at two postings that I find interesting. i) What it takes by Alan Couzens. A good post on different training strategy for different endurance athletes. Obviously a 10 hr PR Ironman will have different training schedule than say a new triathlete. It is easy and the common mentality when it comes to training (even...
Catching upJust want to catch up on what I have been doing lately…Sat, snow storm. Stayed home. Got up at 12:30 pm. Did a long run in the treadmill. No fun. This long run I was running w/ no fuel. Also no fuel = low sugar level. To pass the time, I was watching Charlie’s Angels 2 on TV. Definitely not fun. Eat like a pig afterwards. Instead of saddling up for a ride. I took a nap...
I run
11 km in 1 hr and 6 min.
Run by feel. My heart rate is much higher but the body just want to go. Body wins this time.
Feels so good!
Storm is brewing up there this weekend. Bailing out on snowboarding on sat (irony, esp w/ fresh powder). Instead going to stay home, do chores, bike and
run run run….
=D
I need to run…
that is all….
Good o’ days. Tomorrow night, I will be sharing about my experience as a cancer survivor and a triathlete to a group of walkers. I was looking back my previous blog posts to remember some of the races last year. I stumble upon another triathlete’s blog. He raced Ironman Lake Placid last year and I was in a picture in his blog. He is doing his second lap as I was doing my first 🙂 As I...
