Re: Runjrun's Leduc Triathlon

Awesome! I was hoping you'd write a report after I saw the update on FB. Solid times in all three legs- the pool triathlons can be frustrating in that way can't they? I usually find the opposite- I seed myself properly but others seed too slow and I end up letting them pass. In my next tri I'll sta...

Runjrun's Leduc Triathlon

This past Saturday I participated in the Leduc Triathlon, sprint event. I had been registered in the Olympic event however two weeks prior to the race I came down with bronchitis and it put me on my back for over a week. I made the decision to cut my distance back to the sprint and in the end I was ...

Congratulations! I loved this report, the part about your toenail and the disappointment that it did not fall off made me laugh outloud :) Can't wait to hear your report after the 100 miler!

Re: Runjrun's Coronation Triathlon

Thanks everyone!! When I was first diagnosed 2.5 years ago my then Endocronoligist told me I would have to give up these types of activities.

Re: IronColl's redemption in Red Deer

The last line of your report made me tear up - you put it perfectly. You are a huge inspiration to me and I am in awe of your dedication to your family and health. Sounds like you have come a long way since December 2012 and I think it sounds like you are well on your way to continue. Listen to your...

Runjrun's Coronation Triathlon

This past Sunday I took part in my first triathlon of the year. This race has been around for 30 years and something I have always wanted to do. The distances were longer than the other triathlons I have done - 1km swim (in a 50m pool), 26km bike and 8km run. Over the winter months I worked hard on ...

Re: SPRING!!! (Monday)

I am on day 6 of the plague, but finally starting to feel human. I did try a swim on Saturday but due to feeling weak and having a bad cough it did not go well. Tonight I have registered spin. I plan on getting there early to do some stretching and abs and then give the class a go. I will listen to ...

Re: It's been a long time since I started the daily thread (

I feel like I am getting sick - sore throat, heads feels like lead. However...today is supposed to be 15C!! I cannot pass that up - will head out at lunch to run in shorts for the first time this year outside :) Maybe a bit of sweat will clear whatever is trying to get me :)

Happy Tuesday!

Ended up having a longer than usual lunch. Ran 7km with 5x500m intervals thrown in, followed by a 60 minute spin class. Not sure where my burst of energy came from :)
