With only, well, very little time to go before the birth I thought the hot weather in Amsterdam today was a great opportunity to go and do a self-supported Duathlon. Inspired by Astrid (who says her legs are a machine…) and Mads and first got the idea from the good guys at 140.6, I went […]

New Interval Training Exercise
Posted in Sports on Jun 26th, 2008
I’m trying to pick up a regular workout scheme again and this week I’m back in the gym again. Yesterday morning Lucy gave me this exercise that she thought would be good for me, and I wanted to share it with you for your own training pleasure.
It’s a cardio exercise with a strong focus on […]
Just spend a few minutes reading off a post on Stephan Derksen’s blog. Stephan is a sales professional and draws on his experience when adding content to the blog.
The most recent blog post with the title “Set yourself up for success” ties nicely into my vision of continuous self-development, so I thought I’d quote the […]
2007 is over and so the goal of training 144 hours was missed by about 7 hours. More or less equal to what Martin and I did not manage to do due to illness in our cycling training camp on Mallorca, Spain.
So with 137 training hours in 2007 the goal for 2008 becomes 137 + […]
Last week was pretty interesting. On Wednesday I caught a cold - which was pretty bad news in the light of my Sunday morning planned participation of the Amsterdam Marathon. In fact it was very bad news. So during the recovery days on Thursday, Friday and Saturday I drugged myself silly with C-vitamin and other […]
First Marathon - one week to go!
Posted in Sports on Oct 12th, 2007
Amsterdam Marathon 2007 is currently not far away - not far away at all. In fact it struck me a bit earlier today that my first marathon is just a week away and I should be preparing right this very moment.
And I guess that I’ve been running (most of) my kilometers, I’m quitting all alcohol […]
Broken Wrist Update
Posted in Cycling, Living in..., Netherlands, Sports, triathlon on Jul 31st, 2007
So, since last time I wrote a few things have happened. One of the things that always happen around end of July is the end of the fiscal year at Cisco. This is a big thing and certainly requires a lot of extra effort.
This year even more so, as I broke my wrist in an […]
Mid-May Training Update
Posted in Netherlands, Sports, ironman, marathon, triathlon on May 15th, 2007
After a slow start to this year’s training regimen, things now seem to have accellerated at a decent pace. In April I took part in the AD 5km run in Rotterdam. Although 5km isn’t necessarily much of an impressive distance, it was in interesting measure of fitness.Last weekend I finally got around to getting myself […]

SportTracks Feb 25th 2007
2007 will be the year of my first marathon! To support that I’ve been equipped with new shoes and with what’s probably the most advanced piece of self-monitoring equipment I’ve had.
The Timex Ironman Triathlon Bodylink comes with heart rate monitor, GPS for speed & pace, and an optional data recorder to upload […]
