I want to do a duathlon next year, however, I really have no concept as to where to start. I run race and cycle for cross training. So the basics are covered. I bought a spinner and will be using that for the winter and I run no matter the weather, so that part isn't an issue. My problem, so far, is...

Did anyone do the Winterman earlier this year? Thoughts? Other than it being insanely cold.
Cheers!

+1 more for Mike. I too have two lovable dogs that are less than perfect and we know when to leave them at home or put them in doggie daycare if the day will be too long for them at home alone. One suggestion may be to try to casually talk to the owner about this dog's obvious distress and how she i...

We can use recycled paper - for the hard copy. I can look into the e-book option - never did that before but I am sure there are lots of options. Does anyone have some sort of idea as to when they want to get the book out for - say Christmas this year or even Christmas 2010? I am just thinking in te...

In order to get ideas as to how much this is going to cost to print, I need a bit more info: How many copies do you want? Spiral spine or perfect bound? Photos? Colour or black and white Size The cheapest way to do the book would be spiral bound (from what I recall), no photos (except on the front c...

Bib: If you don't care about your name being associated with your finish time, buy a bib. However, your finish time will be credited to the original bib owner. Vulture Bait vs Toad: I did the training run earlier this year for the Toad and ironically, the Vulture Bait people were there. I asked the ...

I've published a couple of books on my own, not cooking though. So I can help out - layout/design, photography, editing, finding a printer. Just say when! I'm also a writer, not that recipes require any re-writing or editing.
Cheers!

Awesome! Thanks.
Do you know how this course compares to Dirty Girls or the Toad? I am assuming harder than the Toad and maybe on par with DG or even harder?
Cheers!

You had me at Fat Ass!

Is there an address for the centre so I can google map it and figure out how early I have to wake up on race day to get there? I couldn't find it doing a straight up google search for some reason.
Cheers!

I just thought I would drop a quick line about the race. It was my first trail race and longest race to date in general - I did the '30K sprint course', as some people were calling it, and I finished in the time I wanted and even managed relatively even splits, despite having a groin/butt pull of so...

I'm a newbie to the list, and trail running. I'm doing the 30K. I'll need a sign on my back warning other runners that I am prone to wiping out. Oh wait, I'll be at the back. No worries, you're all safe!
Cheers!

Thanks for the info. We do hope it will live up to all of the hype they are trying to generate. Hopefully they'll have lots of to-go chocolate like at the Toronto Women's Half. At 19K I thought I would hurl at the smell of the melting chocolate they were handing out, but I did slow down to grab two ...

Has anyone registered for the Chocolate Half Marathon, which takes place on Sunday, August 30 in Port Dalhousie? The hubby and I registered - we can't resist anything chocolate, but are a little skeptical about its organization as there is no confirmation list available. When I e-mailed the organize...
