I have received a number of questions on the cycling training camp I was at earlier this month in North Carolina. We were training anywhere from 2-8 hours a day and I ended the week with almost 700 KM of cycling and 1000s of m of climbing elevation. After a few years of stage races,… Read More…
Handling nutritional deficiencies in training
Happy Friday, friends! Before I dive in, remember that 72-hour race I did back in March? Well, we just released the video series on it last week and I thought I would share it with you here! (I promise I was not crying in the final interview, although it honestly sounds that way.) I did… Read More…
Mile 23: Why I’m Never Going Keto
This month’s terrible race photo was chosen for a reason. It was almost a year ago when I ran the RunWaterloo Pancake Mile and today I am doing my Mile 23 on carbs or rather, lack thereof. If you need some context for the race and some fodder for making fun of me (beyond what I routinely provide… Read More…
Hazelnut Flour Recipes

Beets for Athletes and Nova Scotia
Cheers to the weekend! This morning, I am boarding a plane and headed to this: I have a 10 miler of some of Halifax’s biggest hills on tap this afternoon and ending up in gorgeous Lunenbourg this evening. I am celebrating the marriage of these stone cold foxes: Nicki is just someone I do hand-stand… Read More…
Healthy Camping Snacks and Two of My Heroes
Can someone put a stop to the speed that this perfect summer is disappearing? I was paddling this week with Kyle, one of my adventure racing training partners, and he was talking about how quickly the summer was disappearing. I responded that it was true, but the fact that our average Wednesday night is spent in a… Read More…
Muskoka 70.3 Race Report
Well, I’ve had a couple days to process everything so I think it is time to talk about the race. Let me start by saying that I have never put this level of time, training or commitment into any singular event so it ended up being one of the most rewarding racing experiences of my life. The… Read More…
Muskoka Training Weekend and 72 HR Adventure Race Prep
We are on a solid one post a week average, folks! Sadly, the trend will not break this week, but I did want to dip in and share some of the things I am learning in my training lately. This past weekend was a holiday weekend for Canadians so Mark and I headed to… Read More…
