Re: Guide Needed for Blind Runner
Not to be a smartass, but I think one would require some measure of experience to run a half marathon.
Point well taken - no experience as a guide necessary. Experience as a runner strongly encouraged!

Re: Olympic Torch relay has begun - List the maniacs!
Last night the torch made its way through Fredericton. I wasn't lucky enough to be selected as a torchbearer but just being alongside the route was way more of a thrill than I ever imagined it would be. I was close enough to feel the heat from the flame as it passed by!! Also had a chance to get my ...

Re: song for NY marathoners
Springsteen's Born to Run was playing on the loudspeakers as I crossed the start line at NYC '06. A great omen!! Sinatra's version of NewYork New York is also a must have on the play list prior to running that race. Two other relevant songs: Simon and Garfunkle's 59th St Bridge Song (Feelin' Goovy) ...

Race Report - Tri By The Bay
The Rockwood Park Triathlon By The Bay took place in Saint John (NB) on the weekend and although a small event (63 entries in the Sprint Tri), it was first rate. Aside from the one that I did last month as Myra's guide, this was only my second Sprint tri - first was last July here in Fredericton, al...

While not as fancy as some of the other rides that have been pictured on this thread, I'm proud of "Sebastian" - named for the patron saint of athletes. I even have my RM name (FreddyBeachPete) on him and of course my charity of choice, Team Diabetes. http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k100/freddybea...

Denise is a true inspiration and obviously a great talent. I met her in Boston '07 when she spoke at Manulife's pre-race dinner. Sadly, she had been forced to withdraw from the race due to an injury. She still though was out at 5 in the morning in the middle of a hurricane to wish us well as we load...

Tonight I tried Spinnervals for the first time. It was one of the base ones. I'm also not very practiced on the trainer either so have a lot to learn. Notes to self: 1. Remember to bring water :roll: (if I was cycling o/s I would NEVER leave home without water :!: ) 2. Turn up the sound so I can he...
