There are a lot of successful people around the world. And this is exactly the case you understand the personality and ego of someone: when they feel superior, when they feel “better than the average” how they react with them. Do they stay humble? Do they treat everyone as they treated them when they had […]
Day 48 – Choosing the right bicycle
Is it so important? Following my post of choosing the right chair, i thought it was a good idea to write another post about choosing the right bicycle. Searching for over a month, reading articles in the internet, watching videos talking with experts and checking the very low availability i finally found my new one! […]
Day 42 – Heart rate based training
In the past, when my knowledge towards training programs and endurance races was very limited, i was following very plain but wrong attitude. I was mostly focused on pacing and how much i could maintain it, while i was totally ignorant about heart rates, how they work and why it is the most important metric […]
Day 39 – Snowplaying
Greece is truth is mostly known for it’s sun and beaches. As weird as it may sounds it also snows in here. And the scenery could be pretty beautiful, playful and interesting as well. Today i had a day like that and the mountains really paid us back. Thinking about these, i remembered the great […]
Day 31 – Local Swimming pool
Early swimming in the hot pool. Energizing your body and mind. Getting your technique better. Improving your connection with water and your hydrodynamics posture. This is how it goes.

Day 13 – Training when raining
Today the skies are open in Crete. And while there are many things you can’t do outdoors, there is one thing it maybe becomes better and you have no excuses if you have planned for it. And that is running. Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, but learning to dance in […]
Day 11 – Stand Up Paddle
I honestly beleive i am in love with the Sea. I cant imagine myself leaving for more than 1-2 years in places away from the say, if not totally coastal at all. One of the sports that i love a lot, besides triathlon is SUP and SUP-surf. It’s fun, it’s extremely useful for your body […]

This bicycle boom has paralyzed a lot of production lines, making buying a new bicycle literally a small adventure. The great Japanese company, Shimano holds around 70-80% of the total global bicycle peripherals. This […]
