Ultra Dream: May 2009

http://kieranmischewskinzironman2008.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html

Musings about running . and life . and whatever else takes my fancy . Saturday, May 23, 2009. I think I've come to a bit of a crossroads in my life (this happens every now and again). The problem is one of motivation, specifically I'm not sure that I have enough of it anymore. In late 2006 I started running in order get some fitness back. I had planned to run a half marathon in May 2007 and maybe try a marathon at some point. Anyway in typical fashion my time frame got accelerated and entered my ...Next ...

Musings about running . and life . and whatever else takes my fancy . Monday, February 23, 2009. New Zealand 100k Ultramarathon Champs - Race Report. Make yourself a cup of coffee or hot chocolate, this is going to be LONG (a bit like race day as it happens). 8230; I then turned around and came back home to pick up the stuff that I had forgotten!

Because I Can: December 2008

Chasing Big, Hairy Audacious Goals. Create your own visitor map! Saturday, 27 December 2008. I bought an expensive heart rate monitor about 4 years ago, when I started trying to lose weight. It was good when I was walking, as it told me I needed to work harder as I got fitter. Wednesday, 17 December 2008. Rotorua Half Ironman Photos. Photos taken by Arthur H - for free! Finally finishing the Rotorua Half Ironman. You were the star of the show, no doubt. It was without a doubt one of. I got all my gear to...

JenuineIMexperience: February 2007

http://jenuineimexperience.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html

Friday, February 23, 2007. Swimming with the fishes. No, not in the Sopranos way. : ). I've seen lots of forum posts about the benefits of joining a masters swim group. Now, I'm not going to say it isn't beneficial, but do the benefits hold true for the slow lane? Maybe I don't benefit as much from masters as those that can keep up with the workout, but I do think I still derive some benefit from swimming with the other fishes. Thanks for sharing the lanes mates! Posted by JenC at 12:27 PM. I'm really gl...

JenuineIMexperience: December 2006

http://jenuineimexperience.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html

Friday, December 29, 2006. I think I have had a perpetual bruised knuckle on my right hand for weeks if not months. Every time it starts to feel better, I bash it into the lane lines again on my next swim. Maybe I should start "sighting" in the pool. : ). It is a small price to pay though and I'm just happy that I swam the 3500 yards today with no left arm pain. Woo hoo! Hopefully, my 40-minute treadmill run later this afternoon will be without pain too. Posted by JenC at 9:13 AM. I've been debating abou...

JenuineIMexperience: April 2007

http://jenuineimexperience.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html

Monday, April 30, 2007. Mother nature wasn't kind to us 10-miler racers on Saturday. I was convinced that it wouldn't rain, but wow, was I wrong. It wasn't too bad during the race, but after, I shivered all the way to the car (and I was running). Well, I actually set a new 10-mile PR by almost a minute. My chip time was 1:31:58 (finished 38 out of 78 in my age group). Last year, I ran it in 1:34:32 and the year before in 1:32:56 (my prior PR). Posted by JenC at 9:40 AM. Should I be offended by this?

Chasing Big, Hairy Audacious Goals. Create your own visitor map! Wednesday, 29 April 2009. Well, not quite, we missed it by 1 hour 16 minutes, but 6th out of 22 in the veteran's category was pretty shit hot! Firstly a catch up. I'll add photo's later. We enjoyed the trails - Brian didn't want to venture off anything greater than Grade 2. Afterwards I suggested we should look at bike shops. The second one we went to 'browse' in had some good discounts on last years bikes. So surprise surprise! Sorted out ...

Chasing Big, Hairy Audacious Goals. Create your own visitor map! Monday, 22 March 2010. A serious hurt fest. The ARC 8 hour adventure race. I knew it was going to hurt! What a great event though! I arrived at our bach in Whitianga late Friday afternoon. I unpacked everything, caught up with my sister and her husband, who were staying at our bach, then headed down to register with Janie in town. A pair of socks - I actually need some! We were given the race book, but no maps! Then onto the bike, and up hi...

Training in the town of champions: November 2009

http://phillipstraining.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html

Training in the town of champions. Sunday, November 22, 2009. A fairly disappointing race - but I've had time to reflect. Yesterday I had the first round of the Contact Trophy at the Blue Lake, in Rotorua. I did this race last year prior to the Half, so it should be a good measure of my progress. It's fair to say that I'm not particularly happy with how I went. Having said that, there are some positives, and on reflection, some good reasons why things didn't go as well as I might have wished. Then again,...

Training in the town of champions: Tauranga Half Ironman 2011 – mission accomplished

http://phillipstraining.blogspot.com/2011/01/tauranga-half-ironman-2011-mission.html

Training in the town of champions. Tuesday, January 11, 2011. Tauranga Half Ironman 2011 – mission accomplished. Yep, I did it. I went sub-5 hours. 4:47:33, in fact, so fairly comfortably under. I'm really happy with the result, but have already started working out where I could (or should) have gained a bit more time. I won't go into the pre. Race at all – Kate has summed it up very well here. I have been happy with my swim recently. I had a couple of lessons with Jeremy Cronin. Chipping away at it.
