Tokyo 2020 Olympics

I had an extraordinary summer. Two years ago I was interviewed for a job as a driver for Canada’s CBC media team for the Tokyo Olympics.Then when corona hit the job went out the window. A lot of debate about whether the Olympics would go ahead or not ensued. Personally, I was hoping they’d postpone […]

Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater

The diet is coming along well. No hunger pains. No sugar or caffeine withdrawals. Down 2kg. Lots of energy. Enough energy to get me out to training tonight. Only 2 other guys and I did 5 laps by myself then 2 with the speedsters then a few again by myself. Felt alive for a change. […]

December Detox

Have sworn off end of year Christmas parties in order to get a head start on New Year’s Resolutions. For the last 3 days have been on fruit and veggies. (except for a little salami for dinner day 1 & 2). Lots of apples, pumpkin, spinach, tomatoes, onion, eggplant, hot water with ginger, garlic…and a […]

Amino Acids

Have bought 3 different brands of amino acid tablets to try and take in the morning. One bottle by the PC at home, a packet in the car and another by the PC at work. The idea being to take them in the morning (with or without breakfast) to give me a good start to […]

Paleo Good stuff

One week on the Paleo diet and I’m back in the winner’s circle. Completely different. Have dropped 2 or 3kgs. Have not had any dairy, processed food, sugar, and a few other things for a week now. I had some sugar withdrawal symptoms. Lots of blueberry, blackberry, raspberry & protein powder frozen smoothies…sometimes with almonds […]

Golf Work

Day off today but rainy! Days off this year = work on Piranha Golf Japan. Went to the local driving range and bought a glove. Got the last right handed one (for lefties like me) and then whipped out the piraniagolf.com business card. Will be taking people here for demos of the Piranha Golf clubs. […]

Stats Day 8

Today I thought work started as usual but finished early. On arrival I discovered I’m supposed to start late and finish as usual! Damn, damn, damn… wanted to get in 60km after work. I have to get some in now just to keep my average clicking over. This is a long weekend coming up with […]

Autumn is a comin’

Winds blowing every which way today. Rarely from behind. Up early and went North instead of South and got in a good 40km before training started. The wind though was picking up and I didn’t feel like going in the sprint today with my arm still sore so I stopped at the cycling groups rest […]
