Last Saturday I took the train at 6AM for a day in Osaka, needless to say it is very unusual I wake up before the sun in Japan but that was worth it.My plan was to visit the Cyclemode show in Osaka.

I was just enjoying my return to the sport (I still do).I train often around Togo lake with my bi... Read more
Just a short post before to go to bed for the equipment geek among us :I stumbled upon this video today. Helle Frederiksen, pro-triathlete from Denmark presents us her equipment room, quite impressive (if you are into endurance multi-sports that said...)Now I wonder how she can keep it so clean! :-) Read more
