Rob's Triathlon Diary: January 2016
http://rob-mcnamara.blogspot.com/2016_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, 31 January 2016. Much the same in January (& Two Bays Trail Run). I am now 47 years old and around this age your body is suppose to slow down. Are my training results lack lustre because of an underlying injury or is old age simply catching up with me? One of my pre-season goals was to post a personal best time at the Olympic Distance triathlon in St Kilda. In fact this has been a goal for the last 3 seasons, but every year my body has let me down. You can almost see our house from the view above.

Rob's Triathlon Diary: Looking Back in November
http://rob-mcnamara.blogspot.com/2015/11/looking-back-in-november.html
Monday, 30 November 2015. Looking Back in November. Earlier this year in April I published a blog entry called Plans for Next Season. These plans only covered up to Mandurah 70.3 earlier this month, so this is probably a good time to review how things went. First we'll look at the Race Calendar:. 3 May - Puffing Billy Run 15.1km (D race) - SKIPPED RACE. 21 Jun - Salomon Trail Run, Kew 15km (C race) - 11th. 19 Jul - Salomon Trail Run, Plenty 17km (C race) - 9th. Now we'll look at my pre-season targets:.

Rob's Triathlon Diary: May 2016
http://rob-mcnamara.blogspot.com/2016_05_01_archive.html
Monday, 30 May 2016. Dragging the Body Kicking and Screaming Back to Fitness in May. Some people had suggested that 2 weeks hiking at high altitude would do wonders for my training - they were wrong. After 3 months break from all Triathlon training, it was a very hard slog back to fitness. Monday I ventured for a 4.4km run. This time I managed 6m38s per km, but still stiff. Wednesday was time to drop back to a recovery run. 3km at 6m49s per km - I didn't actually know I could run that slow. From here it ...

Rob's Triathlon Diary: December 2015
http://rob-mcnamara.blogspot.com/2015_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, 31 December 2015. Battling Through December (& Bayside KOM). I'm starting to learn that my ageing body can handle a single race preparation. Problems begin when I try to extend this for multiple races. The Duathlon Worlds went well. My body (in particular my knees) could not handle the Bright Training Camp a week later. And two weeks after that my legs in general failed me during the run leg at Mandurah 70.3. Below is a photo near taken near the finish line in Cape Schanck. Plenty of wildlife o...

Rob's Triathlon Diary: All over in February (Geelong 70.3)
http://rob-mcnamara.blogspot.com/2016/02/all-over-in-february-geelong-703.html
Monday, 29 February 2016. All over in February (Geelong 70.3). The original plan was that I would qualify at Mandurah, expecting a soft field and use Geelong as a backup in case my race didn't pan out in Mandurah. With Geelong being a late season race I was hoping a lot of competitors would have already qualified, meaning the slots would roll down further in the age group. Anyway, Geelong would definitely be my last race of the season, then a complete break from all training as I let my body recover.

Rob's Triathlon Diary: September 2015
http://rob-mcnamara.blogspot.com/2015_09_01_archive.html
Monday, 28 September 2015. Duathlon 4, Richmond. This was the last race of the Duathlon Series and the Victorian State Championships. Last Duathlon ended with me disappointed in my first run and a DNF (did not finish) against Elaine’s name in the results. We were both hoping for better this time around, especially seeing it was our last hit out before the Duathlon World Championships in Adelaide. 3m41s (150/161 bpm) 92 spm. 3m36s (164/167 bpm) 96 spm. 3m40s (167/169 bpm) 96 spm. 3m45s (168/169 bpm) 96 spm.

Fishboy's Racing on Blue. High performance triathlon . world championships, elite racing, Ironman . pushing the aero envelope . if you're there, look down, at some point you'll be racing on blue.

the miner monologues: March 2012
http://minersrun.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 31, 2012. Long Flat to Gingers. Drove out to Long Flat and met Alex and Chris there for the ride up to Ginger's Creek. Cool morning it was too, and we opted for a coffee from the General Store before heading up - which turned out to be a mistake later on! Damn diueretics .). Once I arrived at Ginger's, Michelle and the boys arrived shortly after for our trip up to Tamworth Rep basketball. I threw the bike in the car and drove the rest of the way. Friday, March 30, 2012. Just magic conditi...

the miner monologues: January 2012
http://minersrun.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 31, 2012. Hadn't been on the bike for over a week, so managed to find a bit of a break in the weather to get out on my own this morning. Didn't have any real sort of plan, so ended up doing the reliable loops of Greenmeadows. Once the traffic got up a bit, I headed out to the canals to do perhaps 1 or 2 more efforts, but ran into Alex and Chris, so rolled along with them to have a chat instead. Greenmeadows repeats by ajl916 at Garmin Connect - Details. Friday, January 27, 2012. Mick and...

the miner monologues: Greatest lunch-time swim ever
http://minersrun.blogspot.com/2012/03/greatest-lunch-time-swim-ever.html
Tuesday, March 27, 2012. Greatest lunch-time swim ever. Just magic conditions for about a 1.5km loop all up. Would be a brilliant experience for an Ironman swim, although understandably difficult to manage over a 2-hour swim cut-off with changing tides, strong currents, and the proximity to scary deep water and views down the river-mouth for the nervous and slower swimmers. Would be perfect for an invitational race of elites though . Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.
