Re: Doonst loses his way at 5 Peaks Terra Cotta

I was thinking that you could become a triathlete, but you can't even figure a way on the simple trail in your own background. Very disappointing :wink:

Re: Doonst attempts to attempt a tri- Cayuga Lake Olympic length

Congratulations!!!
Brave move to start right away with Olympic!
You look like a triathlete on those pictures. I am surprised that you are not hooked, although you are doing a good variety of runs to keep them interesting.
Congrats to Heather too.

No not jet lag, but I arrived on Wednesday, so it might be an issue if you race on the next day after the flight.

Congratulations on completing this tough race :clap: I head my heat exposure also. I run out of fluids on my bike ride today at 86 km of the ride, few bottles of drinks (pepsi, water, orange juice and Gatorade) added to my misery - suffered to the end of this 160 + km ride.

Re: Le Tour de France 2010 Cheating Thread

Was there at least one race in the past 10 years in which (or shortly after) nobody was banned for doping?
If there wasn't I am betting that this year's tour is going to be one in which nobody will be caught cheating!

As I planned this was the highest monthly run this year and the highest cycling volume ever. Swimming a little bit neglected, as I couldn't convince myself to jump into 12-13°C Georgian Bay water during my 7 days training trip to Blue Mountains. End of the month not so good - yesterday I fell down o...

Re: 2 out of 3 isn't quite good enough at the Welland HIM

Time goals are always tricky, this is why I always prefer to run against someone of similar abilities; it is good motivator and also indicator of own performance.
