Cyclocross season

It’s fall, it’s cross season again. Last year I was blown away at the rise of cross, and this year its seems likes it’s even bigger. Sheri is super into it, and she got a new Colnago cross bike for this season. Today’s race was in Almonte, we stayed for the first race and it [...]

Best of Tuft

I’m still in a state of shock and awe at what Dwayner did. I also thought it would be a good idea to pull together the best picts we have of Svein from the team’s flickr photos, it’s an interesting series from the last 3 seasons:

Svein Tuft - Silver medalist

Today, the fatman project went to shit… I’m drinking beer and eating poutine. And Svein Tuft won a silver medal at the Cycling World Championships. Unfuckingbelievable. Way to go Dwayner. I can’t tell you how happy I am for you. I had to leave work today… I couldn’t concentrate and I was getting bombarded with [...]

Recent pix

Here’s some photos from recent travels to the Commerce Bank Triple Crown and the Tour de Beauce. We also sent a pile of photos up through TwitPic.

Contrasts

Today was my last day of tuning up before I head off to Philly. I did a 30min trail run with Dot (dog). I thought it would be neat to compare and contrast my day with Jake’s. So here goes.

A rare occurance

Today I did one loop of the gatineau parc. 21km, 1hr and 8 mins. I went with Sheri. That is a pretty slow pace and that is not the rare occurrence. For some reason today when I rode I decided to wear a helmet! I have no idea why, but I think its because I [...]

Wa bonk

Today I did my favourite ride. But I’m not quite ready for it and got pretty tired in the last 30minutes and came home with a pretty bad bonk. Maybe that’s good, I haven’t bonked in a long time and it kind of felt good. Anyhow the ride was amazing and I did it in [...]

Jake’s take on Hood

Amigo Jacob had this to say about Mt. Hood which the club recently wrapped up:

Photos from Mt. Hood

Jake sent in these photos from the club’s trip to Mt. Hood last week.

unLoops

I’ve been riding around Chelsea Quebec for a long time. The ‘loop’ around the Gatineau Parc is classic, but I’ve done it so many times it gets boring. I try to create little hybrids of it that I find more entertaining. Here was today’s ride. All in all it doesn’t really carve that much distance [...]

I just seem to run run

Well today was kind of overcast and rainy. So I went running again. I don’t mind getting wet when I run, and I don’t ever seem to get cold when I’m wet and running. So trail running was on the menu again today. Today I ran with Dot:

Because for some reason she seems to live [...]

Drunk

So today I didn’t intend to do anything.. so I didn’t. I went to the store and got beer and drank. Earlier in the day I got a call from Sheri. She was stuck in the snow. Not her car—HER. She was walking in the woods with six dogs and slipped off the packed trail [...]

Feeling surprisingly good

And looking remarkably fat. 30 minutes on the trainer, which is 10 more than the first time. Warmed up easy, felt like I was pedaling nice. Did a Russian step: 5min @ 180W, 5min @ 190W and 5min @205W. Rode easy 5min. Finished with 5 more minutes at 215W or so. Did 318Kj for the [...]

Denied

Today I was denied by a few things: over-eagerness, residual technique, lack of fitness and Black Lake hill. Sheri skied early today and told me the conditions were great on the Black Lake section of the parkway. She skied 3hrs today. She also said the parking lots were jammed and it would be easier to [...]

I’m not sure I want winter to end

Today I did a 1hr xc-ski. The conditions were incredible. Its -4C here today, not a cloud in the sky. Snow has melted and re-frozen a bit and been groomed and skied. This makes for this sugary consistency that is fantastic to ski on. Too bad I spent most of the ski doing the fatman [...]

First trip to the gym

OK, I went to the gym. I admit it. Sheri had a credit with our local gym owner for some pet care service she did in exchange for gym time. Of course we’ve never used it yet because for the last three years I’ve been lazy and fat. So today we went and got set [...]

Now with photos

Like magic photos will appear from my blackberry to my flickr to onefatman’s photo page. Just mouse over the ‘inside’ tab to expose the site menu and in the pages menu you’ll see the photos page link. I’ll drop new photos in often. If you’re a web hipster you can subscribe to the photos RSS [...]

A short ski

I went for a short ski today. 35mins, with Sheri. It was an awesome day, sunny and pretty warm. It snowed yesterday and then froze a bit today, so it was choppy and a bit rutted from previous skiers. I stacked it hard going down hill when my ski got caught in a rut. That [...]
