So, I have finished my third leg of my third tri and I feel great.
Being +15*c sure helps, but I think I am over the caffeine fatigue as well. I am back to my 6 hours of sleep and feeling an overwhelming urge to Nap at 3pm.
This week started off rocky, but is going to [...]

3 done – feeling amazing
Wth*… -7 this morning
I was not prepared for this; I do not like running when it is this cold. I take a long time to warm up. Which makes for difficult running either way to hot or way to cold both. And Biking, well forget that – I create wind chill. Swimming didn’t work out, too many scheduling [...]
Here it is the end of week 1 –
Everything went squirrelly (which I know is not a word, but it is a correctly describes the week). Work went crazy, bike broke and my wife has a business trip. Even with the distractions, I am happy to say that I banged off two tri’s this week, plus a recovery run of 5k. I just [...]
Bagged…
Ok, 2 runs, 2 bikes, 1 swim in 4 days…and no stimulants. I’m bagged. I am going to get a vitamin D infusion tomorrow at the tanning bed, coffee sure looked good today.
There is an upside. I am not really sore.
Hopefully, I crack the fatigue soon – no sugar, no caffeine – it is only [...]
So I am still standing…
I think I may have had my first caffeine withdrawal headache, but really is that all I am going to feel?
Ran another 10k today in just under 90 minutes, including warm up and cool down. The weather is crappy so I found myself at the Y. It is boring, but I amuse myself with treadmill [...]
First full tri and a day ahead of schedule…
After spending close to three hours getting my bike ready, I was able to get out for the 40km and pound one of the tris. My legs feel good but I seem to be fatigued. I am sure this is do to the caffeine withdrawal. I really wanted a nap this afternoon and I haven’t [...]
1 down, 29 to go.
Slept in and was quite lazy this morning, which maybe the only caffeine withdrawal symptom I am experiencing. Started the day with a run to the market, the hardware store, computer store, back to the food store and finally home. If I am going to be doing this each day, I need to find time [...]
The night before…
Well here it is, the night before spring equinox and I feel doughy…. I am stuffed full of Classic Indian’s Manchurian Cauliflower – as close to hot wings as I get. It was a grossly satisfying last supper. Spring officially starts tomorrow and so does my spring training – cue Rocky theme.
There is nice weather [...]
