I've received a few emails lately asking about "Sports Performance Diets." To sum up my philosophy on food for sports: You are what you eat, but the human body is amazing at processing just about anything. Here are some free-form thoughts: -Unless you are truly "Elite," and by this I mean actually in the top one percent or so of a sport and not just claiming to be elite because you can do a workout that makes you gasp then what you eat is relevant only in that you have enough decent calories in your diet,

If the semis are anything to go by, today's lead WC at Puurs, Belgium, will be won by Jain Kim and Ramon Julian Puigblanque.
Ramon has yet to fall off while Jain cruised way beyond, as in 12 holds, Alizée Dufraisse's highpoint only to fall touching the finishing jug. No great surprise as she also dominated the Asian champs last week, winning the lead and finishing 2nd in the bouldering.
Of course, this is by no means guarantees a victory in tonight's final.

I love this time of year: Climbing, mountain biking, kayaking, running, paragliding even skiing are all right out the door, and here in Canmore we have at least 16 hours of daylight to get after it! So good. I'm finally feeling totally healthy again after having my knee drained (bursitis left over from the winter), so it's been a recreation festival around here in the sumer solstice sun, yeah! It's also been a time of a lot of work, including trying to understand the Lama/Patagonia trip. I've now spoken or

I spent the weekend cheering/coaching my wife, Kim Csizmazia, and all the other athltes at the Canada Crossfit Regional Games, which are a sort of athletic torture festival. Athletes at the Regionals have already qualified through a "Sectional," and a top six result at the regionals will send them to the Games finals in California. The competition is fierce, the events nasty, and the effort level high. I wrote most of the following as notes on my phone during the event, so it's a bit rough, quick sort and

It's been a really good spring for interviews with top rock climbers. Climbing's "The Low Down" just did an OK one with Dai Koyamada, surely one of the all-time best boulderers on the planet. He is repeating cutting-edge problems in short order, while living in a country without very many high-end technical rock climbers (Yuji and a few others obviously are amazing, but Japan isn't Europe). Part of becoming really good at any sport is hanging with the best in the sport, at the places in the world with the

Learning to do handstand pushups in my backyard... This was taken months ago, Kim did 30 of 'em (in sets, but still 30!) last week for a workout. Training has to be engaging, and at times downright fun, or it's not gonna happen. The women of Cultfit Coyote Way keep it fun...

First off, I really like this piece of writing by Stephen Koch . It rings true and clear for not only climbing but many things in life. Stephen really helped me and all of us out during the Ouray Endless Ascent battle, this essay explains a few things, and urges me to do better not only in climbing but life. Nice one, and hope you're healing all the old injuries Stephen! Second, my wife, Kim Cszmazia, and Sarah Huniken (both train at Cult Fit , check it out)went to the Crossfit Sectionals in Edmonton over

Crossfit has a competition series that culminates in the Crossfit Games down in California. The first step toward qualifying for that comp is to win a "sectional" comp, which Kim and Sarah, both of Cultfit Coyote Way (AKA our garage and yard), are competing in. Results are here , but the real short version is that they both placed in the top 15, which means they are going to the next level (regionals?) in Airdrie in May! Cool. They have primarily been doing the main-site WODs, plus guiding in Sarah's case,
