It's been a while.....

train, eat, sleep, train, WORK, eat, train, sleep......Heh Heh Love it.

Apologies folks - it's been a while. Good thing is -my vids are now in HD. This is Tuesday Night's TT - the dreaded Knox Mtn Hill Climb.

10 days till Ironman Canada.......yours truly is Bib # 160. Is a 3-digit bib a warning sign for the officials ?
I shouldn't have gotten into that transition area fight last year :D ( you know I am KIDDING here )

Ironman Road Route May 23rd

Call it a scouting report - albeit a condensed version. Our mate Eric had never done anything over 100 kms - Jaegan & I made the experience as good as possible. Heads up on what to expect - nutrition - stops when he needed it. He LOVED it ! Cannot wait for Round 2 ( that's a good sign ).

Weather was sketchy - it just monsooned thru Summerland on the drive down ( it was quiet in the van ). All good - we only got sprinkled on a few times - and only a few sections of road were wet.

Enjoy

Salty Dog 6hr Enduro

Salmon Arm, BC. Sunday May 16th. Over 400 riders - 174 two-person teams, lots of solo riders. An 11 km route of climbing and sweet singletrack. Recipe for addiction - YES I'm riding this next year.

The video is compilation of the entire race - from pre-race to start to actual on the course riding courtesy of my GoPro helmet camera.

TT May 11-2010

http://vimeo.com/11684480

So - my very first TT ~! Went very well - the competition was solid - and everybody was super chilled and relaxed at the start. I think I've found my niche.......

Did not get passed - and I passed at least 4 riders. There's one more I recall ( I think ) - but couldn't find it on video thumbnails - will look again. Finished with 23.29 minutes - whereas one of the Total Restoration team riders cracked off a sub 20 minute mark !!

Awesome night all. THX again to ChainLine Cycle and COBRA for hosting.

Cheers ( and enjoy ).

Paris-Roubaix 2010 - Cancellara attacks

Ski2Sea 2010

So....first off - apology. I signed up for two separate cycling challenges for April - hence my riding has been everyday - full on. As per the Twitter #30daysof biking -> We ride our bikes every friggin' day. Love it. As per Mike N's dailymile 4th Month Fool's 500 - I am currently at 622 kms - not counting running or tonight's ride. All is good. I bike, bike, run, bike, bike, poop, sleep and eat. LOVE IT. This is base baby.

So - my blogs have been a tad sparse. Add me as a friend on FB, or dailymile. More action on a daily basis. Brent Prokop.



So - April 11, 2010 was the Ski2Sea. Our group - Snow White and the Seven Dwarves - put on a great outing. Here's the video to help you understand the logistic nightmare that is S2S. Every year - teams go from Big White alpine to the drink in Okanagan Lake. AWESOME kudos to the race organizers and all of the volunteers !!
