John's Ironman Adventure: January 2011

http://wisconsin2010.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html

The new Adventure has Started! I made this widget. Monday, January 31, 2011. Life is full of ups and downs, all of them teaching us something new and giving us opportunities to grow. We often treats the downs as a negative and allow the event to pull us into a funk and deter us from moving towards our goals and dreams. We lose our focus and allow ourselves to grow the negative into a big mountain out of the mole hill that it is. Well, STOP IT! How does my blog title relate to this mumbo jumbo? On Saturda...

John's Ironman Adventure: If you can't beat it, join it!!! and a little about skiing bumps!

http://wisconsin2010.blogspot.com/2011/01/if-you-cant-beat-it-join-it-and-little.html

The new Adventure has Started! I made this widget. Thursday, January 27, 2011. If you can't beat it, join it! And a little about skiing bumps! The past few days has been bone chilling cold! I think that it was actually at the point that almost all advice out there was to skip the run, do some other form of cross training! I guess being a skier is a good form of cross training so I got it done! Ski tip of the week! Or day if I am inspired later this week). Why dont most like bumps? DO NOT ski straight int...

The undecided adventurer: February 2014

http://a-bigger-race.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html

Triathlons, runs and other outdoor pursuits. Wednesday, February 26, 2014. Auckland 70.3 race report (I know. a bit late, aye? Let’s pick up where I left out. It was a sunny Saturday in Auckland, and we went to transition to leave the bike. Looking good at the start. The final result was a race 3min slower than last year. With a lot less training and a lot more suffering. I still loved it and could not have wished for a better farewell to Auckland. Soooooo looking forward to come back, though. An opportu...

The undecided adventurer: Back to basics

http://a-bigger-race.blogspot.com/2014/04/back-to-basics.html

Triathlons, runs and other outdoor pursuits. Tuesday, April 1, 2014. Had enough of this ultra thing… for now. After careful meditation the last couple of weeks I came to the conclusion that I am biting much more than I can actually chew in ultra running terms. That is not a bad, thing, on the contrary… it will help strengthen my jaw and, with time, allow me to chew as much as I bite. Not) Shall I start training a bit earlier to get miles in? Maybe). Shall I take a month off? For the time being, there is ...

The undecided adventurer: April 2014

http://a-bigger-race.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html

Triathlons, runs and other outdoor pursuits. Tuesday, April 8, 2014. Racing in the Queen city - Triathlon Nationals race report. WOW what a fantastic day to be playing in the big smoke. Great sun, not too hot and no much wind. It was a recipe for fast racing. T2 was fast and I was feeling good… although not flash-like due to the lack of caffeine and sugars. I ran at a steady pace with the idea of unleashing the beast in the last 2km. Tuesday, April 1, 2014. Had enough of this ultra thing… for now. After ...

The undecided adventurer: October 2013

http://a-bigger-race.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html

Triathlons, runs and other outdoor pursuits. Monday, October 28, 2013. Waihi - Kaimai Killer ultra race report. The good, the bad and the ugly. The good: I stuck to a plan and it worked. The bad: I was somewhat short on the energy front. Could I have run better uphill with more sugar? The ugly: the last 15km of this race are tough on the mind, real tough. Friday, October 11, 2013. Do you have it in you? So, back to the long ride of tomorrow, we’re doing it for the moment when the voices and the dou...

The undecided adventurer: Tarawera Ultra Race Report – A Risky Bet

http://a-bigger-race.blogspot.com/2014/03/tarawera-ultra-race-report-risky-bet.html

Triathlons, runs and other outdoor pursuits. Tuesday, March 18, 2014. Tarawera Ultra Race Report – A Risky Bet. But let’s start from the beginning, and my first bet. I was in good shape and the big runs were all out of the way. A good diet and a few runs would see me ready to roll at Tarawera. In 2013 it was a fire course. In 2014 it was a cyclone course. What will be the Vibran Tarawera Ultra of 2015? June 18, 2014 at 8:28 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Husband, triathlete, student. I came ...

Triathlons, runs and other outdoor pursuits. Monday, April 29, 2013. Euclid, pizza toppings and Sabina. What do a greek mathematician, a Spanish songwriter and a lot of veggies and cheese have to do with anything? Reading a book about Euclid’s “Elements…” got me back into filling my day with abstract thought of the purest quality: Points, lines and polygons. So much that I found myself revisiting theorems and formulae learnt 15 years ago. I purposely put the pizza last because the reason of this post was...
