Trail Tripping: Snowshoe Season 2015 Underway
http://saratraining.blogspot.com/2015/01/snowshoe-season-2015-underway.html
Tuesday, January 20, 2015. Snowshoe Season 2015 Underway. The past two weekends have seen the first two races in the Dion Eastern Ontario Snowshoe Series take place. First up was Dion Ignite the Night. Next up, this past weekend was the Dion Frontenac. Race, where I changed gears and helped Derrick out with registration, timing and course marking and tear down. It was a mild day and everyone was in good spirits. I enjoyed my part of the day and felt good about how it went. Race day, waiting for the racers.

Trail Tripping: June 2015
http://saratraining.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 17, 2015. Training for Vertical when all you have is Horizontal. Got through the VK, but was unprepared for how steep Whiteface is; I was happy to finish it and enjoy some gorgeous views and shared stories and laughs with fellow racers. Poles would have been helpful. Treadmill not adequate for such a steep grade. Good for uphill races in the past that weren't as steep, but this time around it didn't really translate as I had hoped. Super impressed by how fast some people can climb! Below ...

Trail Tripping: Westbrook Snowshoe Race
http://saratraining.blogspot.com/2014/02/westbrook-snowshoe-race.html
Thursday, February 13, 2014. WE DON'T NEED ANOTHER Road Race. OUT past the streets. Off of the asphalt. CAN'T run the same old route THIS TIME. WE ARE the ‘Shoers. WE ARE all tired of that grind. No one even thinks we’re all that strange. Running out into the woods ‘til no street lights remain. WE DON'T NEED ANOTHER Road Race. WE DON'T NEED TO KNOW THE mile splits. ALL WE WANT are snowy trails at. WE CAN just play ON. SOMETHING BETTER to give this long winter a lift. Come try out our version. I think the...

Trail Tripping: Rock and Ice Report
http://saratraining.blogspot.com/2009/03/rock-and-ice-report.html
Tuesday, March 31, 2009. Rock and Ice Report. We arrived in Yellowknife three days before the race start, giving us time to settle in and meet our media host Brian Desjardins. Brian would be kept busy through the week with all of the media needs/wants and perhaps a few headaches! Brian put in some long, long days for us, and is a great guy – very mellow with a dry sense of humour. Our first night in Yellowknife we had the opportunity to meet some of the medi. Day 1 – Let the Games Begin. A few hours in a...

Trail Tripping: It's the DEWPOINT!!!
http://saratraining.blogspot.com/2011/07/its-dewpoint.html
Monday, July 18, 2011. Running Times article on hot weather running. It's Not the Heat, Nor the Humidity. It's the dew point. DEW POINT (°F). Hard efforts likely not affected. Uncomfortable for some people. Expect race times to be slower than in optimal conditions. Uncomfortable for most people. Easy training runs might feel OK but difficult to race well or do hard efforts. Very humid and uncomfortable. Expect pace to suffer greatly. 75 or greater (24 C). Skip it or dramatically alter goal. I love the he...

Trail Tripping: Injury as a Lesson in Acceptance
http://saratraining.blogspot.com/2015/03/injury-as-lesson-in-acceptance.html
Friday, March 20, 2015. Injury as a Lesson in Acceptance. The past year or so has been all about l. One day, walking back from yoga, when I'm typically rushing rushing rushing to get back to work, this time I was forced by the icy sidewalks to take the most gentle, deliberate movements, slowly navigating so that it didn't tweak my back. Suddenly it dawned on me that getting to where I was going was not important, but how I got there was crucial. It felt peaceful. T comes on suddenly like an itch that nee...

Trail Tripping: May 2015
http://saratraining.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 26, 2015. Gananoque Wildlife Area and Waterfront Renewal. Last Saturday I had fun exploring the Gananoque Provincial Wildlife Area. Then I went to visit my parents and we went for a walk around the newly re-developed Gananoque Waterfront. I hadn't even been aware of all the work done in the area, and I was really impressed with how nice it all is. It was windy down there! See the baby robin? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I am a trail, ultra and snowshoe runner from Ontario, Canada. Sep 7 - Hal...
