Spindogg Triathlon: April 2010
http://johnspinney.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Exploring limits through the eyes of triathlon with humility and gratitude. Monday, April 12, 2010. RunVermont Half Marathon and the QT2 four part system. 10 miles is a long way to go without fuel—this also corresponds roughly to when glycogen stores (stored carbohydrate) will tap out and be pretty much empty if you haven’t fueled (AKA bonking! It takes a great amount of restraint and patience to hold back and pace correctly but it is a critical piece to racing well. I nailed my pacing exactly. B...Help ...

Exploring limits through the eyes of triathlon with humility and gratitude. Thursday, May 13, 2010. Rev3 Half Iron Race report 5-9-10. What a great weekend I had! Not only did I get to hang out with my Dad, my brother and my step mom I got to race an inaugural event put on by a relatively new race organization and I have to say Rev3 put on a top notch race! Race morning –. Transition set up went well- all things were looking good. In a word my area was: simple. All I had to do upon exiting the sw...We th...

Spindogg Triathlon: July 2010
http://johnspinney.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Exploring limits through the eyes of triathlon with humility and gratitude. Thursday, July 8, 2010. Ironman Coeur D’Alene 2010 Race report- part 2. What a beautiful place to race! I think CDA has got to be the most beautiful place I’ve ever raced. Additionally the town supports this race like no other. There were 3000 volunteers! How good are you at drinking and eating a huge amount of fuel on the bike? How good are you at calculating how much fluid and electrolytes you still need at mile 90 of the bike?

Exploring limits through the eyes of triathlon with humility and gratitude. Sunday, February 14, 2010. Women's moguls: Kearney wins first U.S. gold. Pressure is just a made-up thing," she said. "There's no such thing as pressure. I remind myself sometimes that I'm skiing because I love to ski. I'm not skiing for airtime on NBC. I'm not skiing for the fans at the bottom. I'm skiing because this is what I want to be doing." - Hannah Kearney. Way to go Hannah! Saturday February 13, 2010. The notecard, which...

Exploring limits through the eyes of triathlon with humility and gratitude. Thursday, October 22, 2009. The difference between a mediocre performance and a remarkable one is usually the difference between what you know and what you do with what you know." (Mark Sanborn. Well this is a backbone of the QT2 systems protocol and I believe it was missing in me before I came to QT2 and I see it missing in many athletes. Execution = informed and disciplined pacing, informed and intelligent fueling /hydratio...

Spindogg Triathlon: June 2011
http://johnspinney.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Exploring limits through the eyes of triathlon with humility and gratitude. Thursday, June 16, 2011. I haven’t blogged in over 6 months! Here’s an update and a glimpse into my world. I am 10 days out from Ironman Coeur D’Alene! The race went well. Swim was loooong- the turnaround buoy got washed down river and we ended up swimming 1.5 miles. Good prep for ironman! On to the run I was running people down and couldn’t believe how good I felt and the best part was I had no foot pain! On to the bike- absolut...

Exploring limits through the eyes of triathlon with humility and gratitude. Sunday, October 17, 2010. Ironman Hawaii Experience 2010. Well this was even better. It was very close to the ocean and had outdoor seating that overlooked it- -unreal! The coffee was the best I have ever tasted- really! I have tasted a lot of coffee in my life and I can honestly say that 100% Kona coffee is the best there is. Lava Java also had the best tasting 100% Kona coffee that I tasted on the island. Now that is cool!
