The past few weeks have been pretty darn exciting here post Subaru IMC. We came home to absolutely gorgeous weather. It was a huge effort limiting my bike rides to 2-2.5 hours that first week back but recovery after an Ironman is so important especially when I have the Subaru Muskoka 70.3 on September 14th….
Now that I am home from Subaru Ironman Canada and have had a little cry about what was a pretty difficult race day, I can now reflect on my very human performance that was dug out of heart as opposed to talent. When this year started, I did not even know if I would race…
Having finished coaching two Subaru Success Camps up on the Subaru Ironman Muskoka 70.3 course, I can offer a few observations and strategies for tackling this special 70.3 event. First, let me say, biased or not, this is one heck of a course! Deerhurst is the perfect backdrop for this event and your family and…

On Saturday morning, we met for an early morning run where we previewed some special bits of the run course – the golf course run – the 18th hole spectator viewing point – the finish line – and the amazing run up from the swim to transition. Once everyone had a feel for the ‘logistics’…
We met for a swim racing technique session on Friday and followed that up with a talk about riding the Ironman course successfully. We touched on mental preparedness, nutritional strategies that I have learned and practiced in 32 Ironman events and the logistics of riding for 6 to 8 hours. Everyone received their ‘treat bags’…
In May 2008, Lisa Bentley challenged Regina’s Mayor Pat Fiacco to a race. Both Lisa and Mayor Pat are racing Subaru Ironman Canada on August 24th, 2008. Lisa had been invited to speak to the City of Regina and Viterra employees and during that appearance, the ‘bet’ was wagered. It is called the ‘Equalizer’ –…
I had been itching to race! So when I saw that there was a new 70.3 event in Providence, Rhode Island, I was pretty eager to make it happen. During those long computrainer rides in my basement and the subsequent channel surfing during those rides, I had watched a television show called “Providence”. It seemed…
All is well here in my training preparation for Subaru Ironman Canada on August 24th. And in preparation, I am heading to Rhode Island for the inaugural Providence 70.3 event this coming weekend. I have always wanted to go there and what a better way to see the sites than to swim, pedal and run…
I have so much exciting news – but first a little race update. Last week, I raced the Subaru Muskoka Chase – this is the Muskoka classic – 2 km swim, 55 km bike, 15 km run – where the women start first – 18 minutes ahead of the men and the first person across…
