July 15 marked my return to triathlon after a 3 year absence. I chose to participate in the Gravenhurst Sprint Tri which incidentally was same race site as my very first tri back in 2005.
I went into the race feeling pretty comfortable with my bike and run, given I had logged some really good miles […]

A bit late, but here is my race report from Ironman Mont Tremblant 70.3
Race Details:
1.9K Swim
90K Bike
21.1K Run

I must say, sometimes I even surprise myself.   That about sums up this race.   It wasn’t a big priority race, as I wasn’t looking to take a world championship spot, but I did feel like I wanted to […]

Peterborough Half Iron Distance Triathlon - July 8, Peterborough Ontario
By: Lisa Regan
I joke now that leading up to this tri I completed the list of “what not to do before a race” and it went something like this.
The weekend before I had a 4 day Bachlorette for a friend in Seattle. I got home early […]

Huronia Race Report (July 2012)
Justin Beck (Team Running Free & Multisport Canada Recharge with Milk Mentor Team member) 
(This is my first race report; I apologize if it is a touch long winded!) 
This past Saturday, I had the opportunity to take part in the newest venue of the Multisport Canada Recharge with Milk Triathlon Series.  It […]

We just got back from a whirlwind week in Edmonton. Not only was it the national and pan am champs there was also a para coaching summit and LTAD conference which Ryan and I both attended.
We hit the ground running with the summit, and spent the better part of Thursday in board rooms. Lots of […]

The Welland Half Iron Triathlon is everything it promises to be.  It’s flat, and it’s fast.
Sometimes a fast and flat race course can sell itself to the PB-hungry athlete.  This happens regardless of how well the event is run, or how much careful planning, time, energy, and care go into its organization and execution.
The Welland […]

I was looking forward to my first triathlon of the season after a decent start to the multisport year at the Subaru Victoria’s duathlon.  As the week leading up to the race progressed the forecast went from bad to worse, and memories from a crash on a wet course in Orillia two years ago came flooding […]

This weekend we packed up our new minivan and headed up to Woodstock for our first duathlon of the season. My wife and I both registered for the Sprint Duathlon on Saturday.  I had my typical pre-race routine - very little sleep, crappy (health wise) dinner the night before, not enough […]

Race Distances

swim 350m
bike 10km
run 2.5km

To start off the season the I decided to sign up for the Milton Triathlon. I went with the Chariot Try-a-Tri just to get the cobwebs off my legs. I found the run off the bike just wasn’t working for me and the thought of just jumping […]

Another great weekend and another great race under my belt.  This past weekend (June 9th) brought another great race to the city of Ottawa at Britannia Park Beach.  The weather reports leading up to the race were on the gloomy side with rain and thunderstorms in the forecast for Saturday.  Waking up Saturday morning to […]

Race Details:

750m Swim

30K Bike

7.5K Run

The Woodstock triathlon is relatively new, being around for only 3 years I think.   Previously, other races have kept me from doing this race, which is so close to home.   This year, I finally decided to do it to […]

This being the first race of the multisport season, the weather for the race is often unpredictable.   I’ve seen hail, wind and cold temps to sun and high humidity.   The weather on this day was pretty darn good.   Some would say it was actually pretty hot, but other than the last 4K run, […]

On May 12 I guided visually impaired triathlete and running free team member Ryan Van Praet at the inaugural San Diego ITU champs.  This was the first race of the season for us and the first opportunity for Ryan to demonstrate to triathlon Canada just how fast he is!
We arrived in San Diego on Thursday […]

Race:  Good Friday 10 Miler
Date:  Friday April 6th, 2012
Where:  Burlington, ON
website:  www.burlingtonrunners.com
I have to admit, I wasn’t feeling up to racing yesterday morning.  But, given that I re-jigged all my workouts this week so I could race, I figured I might as well.  And, I wanted to see how much quicker I’d […]

 Date:  Sunday, June 5/11 
Time:  9:30am
Location:  Claireville Conservation Area, Toronto, Ontario
This is not a race that I would normally sign up for.  I am not a great trail runner & normally fall on the trails, so I try to avoid them whenever possible.  However, my 2 friends, Cindy & Laura who like to run trail […]

Ironman Lake Placid was my first Ironman. I couldn’t have asked for a better Ironman race. The course was beautiful, and unlike previous years, the day turned out to be dry.  If you decide to do Ironman Lake Placid you’ll have to bring a variety of clothes for your transition bags because you never know […]

This was the second year for the Sand Lake Triathlon and second year I have participated.  This small race in picturesque Westport is minutes from my cottage and is fast becoming one of my favorites. Low numbers this year dictated that it wouldn’t be chip timed, but instead the old popsicle stick timing method was […]

In 2010, this was the first triathlon I did after the birth of my fourth child. I must admit, tackling the olympic distance when my baby was 9 months old was pretty ambitious and unfortunately didn’t go as well as I had planned. The hot, humid conditions got the best of me and I struggled […]

Last year, I amped up my running training for the Boston Marathon.  I hooked up with this great group of experienced runners and during one long run they started talking about the New York Marathon.  The way they spoke about it left me wondering, “is it better than Boston?”  So I asked.  “Well,” one guy […]

Ironman Florida was my first ironman race experience. And I assure you, it’s not just another race. It truly is an experience. I started training in January 2011 with the goal of doing a few running races in the spring, a few triathlons in the summer, and Ironman Florida in November.Rationale for Racing: My rationale […]
