    Busted!

    See, I can prove it, I did run the UBC Duathlon!

    This race report is turning into a little bit of a story….
    I decided to race the UBC duathlon race, a little last minute. Like the day/night before, over a glass of coffee/wine with my friends. It’s a story that makes [...]

    Eventi Race Report

    My goal for this marathon was to finish and be able to tell myself, “Wow, you did so great.” It’s a different kind of goal, you will notice it doesn’t depend on time. It’s all about attitude. That’s what the eventi marathon is all about. There are no timed results. You run to [...]

    Pace Work

    The plan for today is to get out on the track and do some pace work for the marathon this weekend.  Hopefully, the slippery snow doesn’t screw up the plan too badly.  I’m hoping that by 3:30-4pm today the track at Kerrisdale won’t be too bad.  My planned marathon pace work is based on the [...]

    Cuddly Friends

    Overall, it was a busy week with Xmas parties canceling workouts during the week.  The weekend involved the Vanoc 2010 volunteer training, so I only managed the bike commute downtown.  Because of the Vanoc workshop, I ran my long run on Saturday. My route to MacDonald Beach was awesome!  Almost 30km, right from my [...]

    Week Highlights

    This week the highlights included a big day of spin/swim on Wednesday and two runs with Penney.  She’s becoming quite the runner.  Friday’s swim included a 100m TT where I pulled off a 1:24.

    Two Weekends Until Worlds

    I’ve got one last weekend of training to go. Next weekend, I’m in Boston for work, and then World’s are upon us. With 40 nations represented, I start with the wave of 85 other women in the F30-34 category. Our start gun goes off at 7:35am in the morning. Ack, that [...]

    Wind, wind, and more wind. A nasty head wind along East Side Road = 20km/h on the way out, 40km/h on the way back
    The field was full of pro’s. I raced alongside NZ’s Samanth Warriner (OK, [...]

    Racing Flats

    Coach Drew had me in racing flats for the 400m pieces. Fast and strong, that’s how I felt. After so much long slow stuff, it was refreshing to do a teeny bit of speed work. Let the taper begin!
