Crank the Shield is Ontario’s first mountain bike (MTB) stage race. It mirrors other epic stage races such as the Transrockies Challenge and BC Bike Race (both 7 day epic races) except on a much smaller scale. With over 275 riders registered, this first year event was a popular option for many MTB enthusiasts who […]

Swim:750m, Bike: 30km, Run: 7.5k
Having done the first Lakeside race in early June I was quite excited about doing the venue once again.  I absolutely love the set up, great transition in a little park, right on the water so not much of a run to transition and very quiet roads to both run […]

Well, this season is quickly winding down.  My triathlon season ended last week at the Montreal Olympic Triathlon, which did not go particularly well, hence I chose not to write about it.  I did end up 3rd overall for like the 20th time this yr, but was sick and partially dehydrated even before the start, […]

Was a great season ender that race was! That may have been the toughest race I’ve ever done. I feel more beat up today than I did after Lake Placid Ironman a year ago!
The day started off laying in bed, nervous as heck for the first time about the race. For some reason I […]

My teammate for Crank the Shield, Kevin Wall decided to do his first ever tri at Wasaga -  a sprint distance race. The night before, he tells me he wants to do the Olympic. I decline and make some sorry excuse that I am no shape to do an Olympic distance race, especially after a […]

What’s the furthest that you’d travel for a race? Normally, my rule of thumb is that the distance to travel to the race has to be less than the length of the race itself. However, I broke this rule this past weekend to […]

I had been toying with the idea of getting a new wetsuit since the beginning of the season but since we were doing IM Switzerland I thought I had spent enough money for one year.  I have had my QR Superfull since 2002 and have loved swimming in it but it was starting to tear […]
