A MultiSport Community in Action

By: Carolynne Simons We don’t always see the countless hours of training and exercising that shape people and communities. From July to the end of September, Team Milton, led by MP Adam van Koeverden, encouraged community participation in the Race Across Canada Challenge. I would normally be planning my race schedule but an emergency spinal […]

Netherlands 2020ne

by: Carolynne Simons Team Canada was supposed to toe the line for the ITU World Duathlon Championships in Almere, Netherlands this past weekend. Yet a cocktail of swim, bike, run, coaching, mechanicals, performance software, solo practices, Zoom calls, physio, fireworks and bbq’s still seemed to trickle through various parts of the country.

Go Looooong!

Hi all you crazy endurance athletes. During our summer of the reinvention of endurance training, I have been able to try lots of different events. One of the events I was super excited to participate in was new The MSC Distance Challenge. Like many of us, I didn’t start out as a triathlete. I started […]

Step up your game in August

By: Carolynne Simons If you notice you are thwarting your movement by telling yourself that it’s too hard, you don’t have time, you don’t have any way to get exercise, pause.

I have learned and tried to build strength for the future race […]

What to train when you can’t train

by: Carolynne Simons The body keeps score. It’s constantly talking to you, and if you’ve ever been knocked off your feet? You know exactly what I’m talking about.  Life-threatening injuries. May 15th marked a big OFF day in my training log. Following that, I put my business on hold, let people step in around the […]

On being a black female athlete

Motivation During COVID-19

By Daniel Clarke I should be preparing for my favourite race race on the MSC calendar, the Gravenhurst Olympic Triathlon, but instead we are stuck with the realities of a COVID-19 world.  I’m fortunate that my closest friends and family are all healthy and well, so my concerns have been of the less serious nature […]
