St. Albert 10 Miler Race Results 2011

Posted on 17th April 201118th April 2011 by jdkrabbe

Pat, Erin and I represented the UofA Triathlon Club at the St. Albert 10 miler this morning. Becky was along as a cheering squad, and remarked that I did a better job of Pat than smiling on course, I’ll let her come cheer for us any day. That’s more encouraging than the typical “Wow Josh, […]

Track Split Lookup Tables

Posted on 28th March 201128th March 2011 by jdkrabbe

It’s getting close to the season when lots of people are starting to throw down a weekly workout on the track instead of navigating the snowbanks and icy-sidewalks focused on aerobic conditioning. The easiest way to do the math is usually to run in the inside lane, but I really don’t like running the sharpest […]

Hardcore TT bike

Posted on 22nd February 2011 by jdkrabbe

I updated the graphics on my disc and TT helmet for the 2011 season (and beyond) with the logo from the Hardcore bike shop in Edmonton. < rant > Before you comment telling me that I need to angle my aerobars down a bit more to get my forearms to be level because you think […]

VO₂max testing and metabolic games

Posted on 16th February 201116th February 2011 by jdkrabbe

I’m in another research study, this one is testing the acute effects of L-arginine ingestion on exercise. They’re looking at the growth hormone levels in the blood during submaximal exertion in endurance trained athletes and so need to have a good idea where anaerobic threshold is. This means that they need to know quite a […]

Four months of AWESOME!

Posted on 29th January 201129th January 2011 by jdkrabbe

The racing schedules for this summer have just been posted and it looks like everything stacks up almost perfectly for me! When I say perfectly I mean that there is very little conflict of interest in where I intend to direct my attention each weekend for basically every weekend of the summer. It’s simple, choose […]

Want to TT well?

Posted on 24th January 201124th January 2011 by jdkrabbe

Over the last couple years I’ve had plenty of people ask me how to TT well in a triathlon. Recently I’ve had a bunch of these requests and so I’m slapping this on the blog. Being able to execute the bike split well requires fitness, but similarly importantly it requires that you have practiced the […]

The new shoes

Posted on 9th December 2010 by jdkrabbe

I need to be writing thesis and not blog. Thesis makes me go crazy. Blog lets me be a bit crazy. Since Ironman I haven’t been running tired and sore very often. It’s been revolutionary! I’m definitely not as fast or as fit, but when running I feel like I’ve become a runner. It’s not […]
