I've lost track of how many times over the years I've been asked why I commit so much of my time to preparing for yet another Ironman. For a long time I found it difficult to come up with a reasonable response, because often I wasn't sure myself. I think what makes it difficult, is goals change as the years pass and so would the answer to the question. At first like so many others, I was "Ironstruck". When I first saw this event I was dr...

The Ironman Triathlon--Such Humble Beginnings By : Ray Fauteux The Hawaii Ironman grew from very humble beginnings. Really not much more than a few friends discussing who was the better athlete---a runner, a biker or a swimmer. A suggestion was made that a race be invented that included all three elements.

What started as a 2.4 Waikiki rough water swim, a bike race around the island, followed by the Honolulu marathon gave birth to mult-event races that... The Ironman Triathlon-And A Glass Of Water By : Ray Fauteux If I could take one thing back from all the ironman training I did over the years, it would be the thousands of laps I did in the pool with the hopes of thrashing out a faster swim time. If you are an age grouper or a novice Ironman, there is really no point in spending hours and hours in the pool if you are already at the point where you can easily handle the distance. To devote your valuable training time to enable you to complete the swim 4 or 5 minutes faster is a very... Beginner Triathlete-Novice Ironman--Don't Expect Bike Magic By : Ray Fauteux In preparing to take on the challenge of a first Ironman, I believe far too many athletes put too much emphasis on the bike they choose to purchase for the event. Somewhere along the Ironman trail, many athletes have come to believe that the lighter, and more state of the art the bike, the faster they will finish the bike leg of the Ironman.

Sports Equipment Basics By : JM Anderson One important thing to think about when it comes to sports equipment is your comfort. No matter what type of equipment it is, you should feel comfortable in it. A game is no fun if you have to wear uncomfortable equipment.

SHOES- Of course well fitting shoes are a priority.

For instance, what if an outlet has a brand new 2005 model shoe on sale for $69, and sells ... The Ironman Marathon By : Ray Fauteux As you start out on the ironman-marathon you will most likely experience several different emotions.

The Hawaii Ironman--Will You Be There? By : Ray Fauteux Its been a long time since I raced in Kona, but I don't believe the Ironman-Hawaii course has changed all that much.

Tropical fish to marvel at for pretty well the length of the entire course. Water so clear, the bottom is clearly visible. The better to see the scuba divers sitting on the ocean floor, waving at you. Then making...

By : Adam McFarland We're in the middle of the first NHL Playoffs since 2004 and there seems to be a common theme. No it's not Ilja Bryzgalov shut-outs (although those seem to be happening quite often), it's NHL bashing.

Hollywood And Sports Logos By : Dana Bradley Back in the late 1980’s the citizens of Los Angeles celebrated the many victories of their professional ice hockey team, the Los Angeles Kings.
