Bruce Bird's Midlife MultiSport: January 2010
http://brucebird.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Bruce Bird's Midlife MultiSport. Tuesday, January 26, 2010. Training with Power - Baseline Test. On Dec 18th I decided to take Mike Peshko up on his offer for a baseline power test and his spinning studio RPM, which located right next to the Wheels of Bloor Bike shop. Mike has a special Cyclops training cycle for power based training. The training bike works great but is extremely heavy; we had to move it up some stairs and into a prime spot in his studio.

I am on my way down to Clearwater Beach, Florida to compete in the 2010 Ironman 70.3 World Championships .

Bruce Bird's Midlife MultiSport. Monday, October 19, 2009. My 1st Donut Ride. My first Donut Ride. I took part in my first Donut ride yesterday. The donut ride is probably one of the most famous group rides in Canada; it even has a wikipidea entry:. The best attack of the day came from Tony after Darko had taken a turn at the front. I was unable to grab Tony’s wheel but I did have enough strength to catch Darko, who then bridged the gap to Tony. Links to this post. Monday, October 5, 2009. Just before th...

Bruce Bird's Midlife MultiSport. Sunday, March 7, 2010. Yoga and a Break Through in the Pool. I felt that I achieved a break through in the pool, and amazingly it came after a ten day break. I don’t trust that the break through is permanent and fear that I will slip back into my same old broken swim patterns as soon as the going gets tough and my perfect isolated swim lane situation is disturbed. Breakthrough in the Pool. Links to this post. Labels: Yoga and Swimming. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). 11/13: W...
