A couple Saturday’s ago my wife and I were planning to make a trip down to IKEA in Conshohoken to get some new office furniture for my home office remodel. I happened to stumble across a Vegetarian Nutrition seminar being held in downtown Philly that day through the NoMeatAthlete Facebook page. So we decided to …

Five months ago I made a decision to give this whole food, plant-based nutrition thing a whirl. Well, I am still whirling away with it.

T1 I bypassed the wetsuit strippers on the exit of the swim and started the long haul up the hill to the Deerhurst Lodge parking lot were the transition was. I can get out of my wetsuit pretty quickly and I thought the strippers would take longer than if I did it myself. I may …

I think the best things about the Muskoka Ironman 70.3 race is the later 8AM start and the hotel proximity to the transition. The latter is only a benefit if you are actually staying at the Deerhurst Resort, which I did. Given those items I was able to sleep in until around 5AM race morning, …
