great Butterdome Track 7.31 km 00:40 08:48 pace
Right at the 5 km mark I hit a second wind, and I'm pretty sure I ran that next kilometre in under 5 minutes. I need to get a digital watch with a timer, though, it's killing me using this clockfac... read more

alright Weights 00:45
Tried the squat machine out, it just hurt my knees. I'll stick with the leg press, it's essentially the same exercise.

Things have finally started to settle down a bit at school, so today was the first day of my training program, building up to an Olympic distance triathlon next summer.

tired To School and Back 21 km 01:00 13.0mph pace
I got lost so many times. First time trying to actually get to somewhere specific in the city. Also didn't help having a huge heavy backpack on. I can't believe how much more difficult that makes e... read more

great Lacombe Triathlon Run Route 5 km 00:23 07:33 pace
That time is way too fast for this to have actually been a 5 km run. Overall, I think all three distances were shorter than an official race, thus resulting in all of the top 4 being under an hour,... read more

Ian, take it where you can get it. I wish I could have been there to race with you and Joel. I think it would have been a blast.

great Lacombe Triathlon Bicycle Route 19.05 km 00:37 19.2mph pace
This went so fast that I thought it was much shorter. They're claiming it was 20 km, but the map doesn't lie! Lots of really beautiful smooth asphalt and really long downhills. My speedometer wasn'... read more

tired Lacombe Triathlon Swim Route 500 m 00:15 48:32 pace
Very cold, shallow water, actually had to walk a lot of it. Also very congested, far more so than my previous two races.

Times makes nice watches with lap timers, etc. for pretty cheap. Maybe a Xmas present?
