5 Peaks Trail Running Race – Golden Ears

On May 9th the Rep1 Fitness Raptors took to the trails in Golden Ears.  An amazing, sunny day saw 20 Raptors busting their butts and enjoying the 9km or 14km courses. Highlights of the day: Morgan K doing her first trail run race! Gui Spiteri rolling in at 49 min on the 9 km course […]

Hockey, Football, Mountain biking, Etc…

OK….September is here!  We are all back to our busy schedules and fitness routines, hopefully we have kept up our training, or, at the very least stayed active on our summer holidays.  Thankfully I have kept up with my “in gym” training sessions, my shoulder is feeling great and I’m back playing hockey and football […]

Future Cat1 Racer

This has been an amazing summer for my kids, not only has the weather been fantastic for them to be outside all day but my daughter has learned to ride her bike. My daughter, “Kitty” watches her brother, “Jackson”, get on his bike everyday and rip around. She is so envious of him. I tried […]

A Bigger Shadow

A bigger shadow of my former self went up Cypress mountain yesterday.  My legs have been in a funk for over a year and every time I road on them they just hurt.  Period.  Yesterday was the first time in a long time where they haven’t ‘hurt’!!!  But man am I slow… I think the […]

Stand Up Paddle Boarding

On a beautiful Sunday afternoon, some coworkers and I went down to Jericho to try out paddle boarding. I had never done it before, but the other three had and it was quite evident! The waves were a bit choppy but we spent about 2hrs out on the water and had a fabulous time. It […]

Grouse Grind

Last weekend, Krista and I (as well as her fiance and two friends) drove out to North Vancouver to do the Grouse Grind. I had only done it twice before and never timed myself so this trip was all about setting a baseline time for completion! Krista’s goal for the trip was a bit different: […]

Porteau Cove Nutrition

Here is a picture of my stats from my Porteau Cove ride this weekend.  The biggest thing that I can say, as you start to do longer summer rides, is to make sure your nutrition is in check!  Bonked on the way home and it seriously affected my average speed.  Electrolytes in the water and […]

Ride #2

The weather has changed and I’ve been back on my bike in Squamish for my second ride of the year!  The dry trails were great and I had no problems on some of the more technical spots. Thankfully there were no wipe outs to test the repaired shoulder but all felt great!  Now if only […]

New Rep1 Spin Posters

Are you a true Rep1 spin loyalist? If so, you will have noticed the new spin posters we put up this week!  We are all around the city with our colors!!  Thank you to the Poster Guy for helping us get our name out there.

Iona

It was ugly out there.  My HR was 164+, my watts were 321 and my speed was 41.9km/hr.  This would all be ok if I didn’t have a tailwind!  I need to work harder in spin class!  The flats at Iona can be tough if you’re not used to them.
