Roger’s World – Wednesday July 28, 2010 After 12 years of making my annual trek to Lake Placid to do the Ironman, this past Sunday marked the last time I will do so as an athlete. I will truly miss doing this race because of the great atmosphere, rock star treatment, and the slick race [...]
Roger’s World – Tuesday July 20, 2010 After logging 25 hours of training the week before, I got the chance to close off a 20-hour training week with this past weekend’s Gravenhurst International and Sprint Duathlons. Used as a final tune-up for my upcoming race at Ironman Lake Placid, things went well on both days [...]
Roger’s World – Monday July 12, 2010 There was so much going on last week that I can’t pinpoint what I wanted to write about. So here’s quick mishmash of topics and thoughts. 25.5 hrs I can’t believe I did it but I cranked out 25.5 hrs of training last week. This is the most [...]
Roger’s World – Tuesday July 6, 2010. Yesterday afternoon/night I rode for 99 minutes, and then ran barefoot for 44 minutes. I assure you this was not a planned workout. So why run in barefoot? My fourth flat tire of the season resulted in me having to pull the plug on my planned 3 hr [...]
Roger’s World – Monday June 27, 2010. But if you try sometimes you might find you get what you need. After thinking about my race experience yesterday, wondering what went wrong, this Rolling Stones song suddenly entered my head. At that moment, I realized that I should not dwell on what went wrong but to [...]
Roger’s World – Monday June 21, 2010 Quite frankly, I am dead tired after this past week of training. I definitely wasn’t breaking any speed records but the volume was up there – for me anyway. I did over 18 hours of training (it would have been 20 plus but I skipped out on 2 [...]
Roger’s World – Monday June 14, 2010. After last weekend’s races and it’s resulting effect on my left soleus, the plan for the Binbrook Duathlon race was simple; run easy (keep the pace no faster than 5:00/km—running faster seems to generate mysterious injuries – I’ll save those efforts for ‘A’ races) and bike hard. This [...]
Roger’s World – Monday June 7, 2010 I had a most enjoyable weekend of racing at Woodstock – heck, isn’t any weekend of racing enjoyable – and it turns out that the number 7 was mine for the weekend, as I placed 7th overall in both races that I did. It was a new venue [...]
Roger’s World – Monday May 31, 2010 The MultiSport Canada Triathlon Series season gets rolling this coming weekend in Woodstock I can’t wait for Saturday to get here. There are still spots available so you too can register to join in all of the fun. The swim is weed free, the bike is fast, and [...]
Roger’s World – Monday May 24, 2010 Are you lost? I don’t know about you but I was one of those people that stayed with the show Lost for all 6 of their seasons. After many seasons of frustration, the series ended yesterday and I was still somewhat dumbfounded. Say what you will about that [...]
