Run for the Toad 50K trail race | Posted by Esther Tam on Apr 29, 2007

I have to say that this is a WONDERFUL race in Paris, Ontario. And I’m glad that for the first time I actually registered in time to get a spot. It’s so well organized and the souvenir bag is awesome! The race organizers really know how to put all the finishing touches on everything. My […]

Paris to Ancaster 2007 | Posted by Matt Freeman on Apr 29, 2007

For the past 14 years or so, there’s been a great race here in Ontario called “Paris to Ancaster”. A tongue-in-cheek reference to the Paris-Roubaix, it starts in the small town of Paris, Ontario (about 70 minutes west of Toronto) and moves east to Ancaster. It’s always the weekend after Paris-Robaix, and like […]

South Carolina 07 Training Week | Posted by Gary Kennedy on Apr 20, 2007

Well we just returned from a week of riding from our base camp in Table Rock State Park which is located in Pickens, SC.  I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to get in some early season riding.  Table Rock is located pretty much on the North Carolina/South Carolina border right in the heart […]

Mosport classic | Posted by Badih Schoueri on Apr 20, 2007

It was another beautiful day for racing. Temperatures hovering around freezing point, strong winds and snow in the forecast!!!
The course was fairly technical. Lots of turns and one solid climb to the finish line. Multiply by 18 laps in treachery weather and you have potential for mayhem.
Neutral zone be damned!! The pace was furious right […]

The Myth of the ‘Off Season’ | Posted by Syd Trefiak on Apr 17, 2007

The Myth of the ‘Off Season’
If you spend time hanging around many endurance athletes you will find that each one of them have a different idea of what makes up an ‘off season’. Some might advocate extensive periods of no training, or minimal training of up to a month in duration. Others take the exact […]

16th Annual Uxbridge Icebreaker:
April 1, 2007
Uxbridge, ON
In a world filled with sarcasms and double meanings, it’s refreshing to know that there are still races named for the content of the event.  There will be ice.  Your bike will probably break.  And if you think it’s a coincidence that it’s held on April fools day- Joke’s […]

Spring runoff 8km | Posted by Badih Schoueri on Apr 7, 2007

I now know why bears hibernate in the winter!!! I spent most of Friday afternoon dozing off (even though I was over at my sister’s for dinner. Sorry sis :p) . Considering the race was pretty short and I did not feel I went very hard, most of my energy expenditure was due to the […]

Good Friday Cycling race | Posted by Badih Schoueri on Apr 7, 2007

Nothing tests your resolve and commitment to improve than waking up at 6:30am on race day and checking the weather forecast: -5C and flurries.
And so it was on Friday morning as I made my way to Hamilton for the Good Friday cycling race.
Standing for a good 20 minutes in the freezing wind, waiting to pick […]

Around the Bay (ATB) 30km | Posted by Esther Tam on Apr 6, 2007

Fellow Team Running Free (RF) athletes Brian, Lindsay, and David got me to the race so early that I had time to grab my “second” breakfast at Tim’s.  My first breakfast at home that morning just wasn’t going to sustain me until the end of the race and I didn’t want to be tempted by the […]

Nathan Speed 4 hydration/nutrition system | Posted by Ken Niemimaa on Apr 2, 2007

The Nathan Speed 4 hydration belt has been a definite step forward in my training gear arsenal (lol). I have been using it for 4 weeks now for all my runs, both short and long. The fit of the belt is great with very little bounce and no spinning at all. I found that I […]
