Chef in Transition: 2012 Ride2Survive Revisited
http://www.chefintransition.com/2012/07/2012-ride2survive-revisited.html
Monday, July 2, 2012. It's been now a bit more than a week after the 2012 Ride2Survive. And going by past events, this is pretty early for me to sit down and write the blog about it. Maybe this time I have a bit of an excuse: on Tuesday after The Ride I had to fly out to Mexico City. For a workshop for 4 days and only got back home the day before yesterday. So this is really not too bad! Bullet-point version of the big day:. Getting up at shortly after 2:00 AM we were on the road by 3:30 AM. Where they f...

Chef in Transition: March 2011
http://www.chefintransition.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 29, 2011. Here are a few neat nuggets I came across recently. This one made me laugh. Well, I know it really shouldn't - in fact it should make me cringe and that it did a little bit too. My training buddy Esther (as in Esther Lee. Not to be confused with my wife Esther. Who really isn't all that much into triathlon stuff) posted some of her experiences at the Vancouver Aquatic Centre pool on her blog. Go ahead, read all about "weirdos" at the pool. Five Essential Swim Drills. For the 2009...

Chef in Transition: April 2013
http://www.chefintransition.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 21, 2013. Cross Training Toronto Style. Or Do one thing per year that scares the shit out of you. 2013: check! After a really crappy 1:45 hrs treadmill run, some rest, and a pastrami sandwich lunch, it was time for some cross training. Toronto style! The Edge Walk at the CN Tower. Sounds just like the perfect thing for that. Especially since we have perfect weather for that today! After being suited up, harnessed, triple checked (they do take safety very serious! So Toes over Toronto, eh?

Chef in Transition: November 2011
http://www.chefintransition.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 13, 2011. Better late than never. The title is in reference to this very late Ironman Canada. Race report, but it also nicely sums up my result: I did finish my first Ironman race on 28-Aug-2011 in 12 hours and 42 minutes. Am I happy with this result? And yes, in many ways I am really happy. I finished reasonably healthy and in good spirits. And after all, sub-13 was my "B" goal. With my "C" goal being to simply finish. The "A" goal was to finish in sub-12 hours. So in all honesty, I am ...

Chef in Transition: May 2012
http://www.chefintransition.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 28, 2012. Epic Ride, Epic Day. With only 4 weeks to go until we ride 380 km from Kelowna to Delta with the Ride2Survive. In support of the Canadian Cancer Society. A few of us decided to go on an unofficial training ride. This neat adventure calls for a neat Tattly. After a short rest we continued on with what we knew was going to be a shorter segment to the next stop at the Starbucks in Squamish. Another water refill, pee break, and leg stretch here and off we were again. While the 7...Lunch...

Chef in Transition: $200 Training Ride in Toronto
http://www.chefintransition.com/2013/04/200-training-ride-in-toronto.html
Saturday, April 20, 2013. 200 Training Ride in Toronto. This weekend I have to stay in Toronto for work. No big deal in general, except that I cannot afford to lose anymore key training sessions since the first 3 months of 2013 were something of a write off training wise because of project demands. Since I don't actually have to work on the weekend and really have no other distractions I was (am) hell bend to get all my training in - at least on the weekend! Including a 5.5 hours bike ride. This morning ...
