Finally getting around to finishing up my race report. My Garmin device managed to corrupt yet another file and Garmin support being completely useless. However, there is a tool out there which can fix your files (Fit File Repair Tool). However I am missing the last 7miles. Lead up to the race: I was excited for […]
After every training block at the end of the recovery week I’m supposed to do a triathlon. But this time I wasn’t so sure if I should. This season I struggled a little with the confidence in my fitness and I would have been just content for the Ironman to be my next race. However […]
I didn’t have a great race at the Seafair triathlon. This was probably my last triathlon before my next Ironman and I wanted to see if I could push myself and build some confidence. Furthermore, I wanted to figure out where my fitness is at. I was a little nervous and mostly just excited for […]
Leading up to the race I learned that there was also an elite wave. Upon inquiring at the check-in I learned there are no formal requirements and after some talking I decided to switch to elite. While I probably could have placed in the age group race, I was looking forward to a fast, hard […]
Note: The time since the race and posting it is half split between Amy writing it and me posting it 🙂 Back in December, Guido signed up for the Phoenix Marathon. At the time, i definitely thought he was crazy, mostly because I’ve never needed to do an Marathon. Yes, I have actually done two […]

If you just curious about the race report jump down to Race Report. Otherwise, on your own risk read a little background about my motivational issues and struggle first. It has been a while since my last blog post, while this is not the first race since my last Ironman I didn’t feel like writing […]
In the taper weeks leading up to Ironman Mont Tremblant, I was definitely still worried about it, and wondering if I had done enough training. Can you ever really do enough training for an Ironman? I knew before Whistler I had been disciplined enough to strictly cut back on the weekend excursions, follow the weekly […]
If you read my previous blog post from Ironman Whistler you know that I got sick during my overload training and never quite recovered. Furthermore, I got sick again just before race day which in turn led to my DNF. Well now 3 week later I was toeing the start line again. Even though the […]
Way too long post for a DNF 🙂 In short I got sick during the lead up. I still started the race but had a dry throat and a cough and gave up half way into the bike. Read on for all the details…. The lead up to this race wasn’t great. I got sick […]
