1/4 mi swim, 11 mi bike, 3 mi run A near perfect morning greeted the 400+ athletes that signed up for the Tropical Triathlon this year. Surprisingly, the casino area was still mashed up under construction much like it was last year. Disappointing because they have a beautiful piece of oceanfront land, they haven't developed it near to … Continue reading Lake Worth Triathlon 2012
Month: September 2012
6mi. I didn't run at track on Thursday, I couldn't put together enough energy after a long call with Australia to wake up and zip there plus try to ride with Lanae afterwards. A rare "no-show" for me. I ran my Steeplechase neighborhood run with Lanae this time, I guess showing it to someone that … Continue reading Back in ‘da hood
6mi. I leave for Colorado tomorrow. I arranged to run with Walter from Loggerhead park north to Carlin Park and back. It was cooler than previous days and more of a relief from what heat we had experienced earlier in the month. We showered at the beach lot before going to a happy hour at … Continue reading Extra credit after work
7.5 mi. I showed up early enough to warmup with Teresa, then do my first lap on the hill solo. Megan came and did 5 laps with me, which was great. We did some good climbing, but the best part for me was scampering downhill keeping her pace. One lap Megan picked up the descent, … Continue reading Some good hill laps
13.1 What a place to run! Snowmass Village, the race start, is tucked up a winding road off the main highway in Colorado's Roaring Fork Valley. We drove early from Shelby's home in Breckenridge - a 2 hour sprint on an empty Interstate 70. I was very awake due to the time difference and cool … Continue reading Golden Leaf Half Marathon
2000m I swam today, the only time this week. I was in a lane next to an older lady, who while out of the pool seemed like she was going slow. But once I swam next to her, I was challenged to keep up doing my 40 touches to the other side. I don't need … Continue reading slow mile
20mi. When you arrive at 4:15 in a driving rainstorm, you know it's a special day to run. Walter came moments later, and it was raining and thundering so hard I didn't put down the window to speak to him, I called him instead. We stepped out and no reprieve, we were drenched immediately. The … Continue reading Legends Only
5mi. I tried to get Lanae and Lilia to ride after the track today, both came close but neither came through. The roads were wet, so it probably worked out for the best. Paul was back from Las Vegas and the Hi Vie race, he led the workout. With an interesting 400m cooldown after one … Continue reading The mile threat
8 mi. Easy formula today, run the first two laps with Robert and the final four with Gary. Gary descends fast and I had to pay attention so as not to lose ground daydreaming or looking around at the sunrise. I brought water, but Shelby also brought the water bottle Lani borrowed for Saturday's run. … Continue reading a few fast ones
22mi. I ran today starting with Lani a bit earlier than most - to the light at Lost Tree Village and back. I lost my water bottle in a construction tube. while trying to force a bathroom break in the dark. Then met up with Dave and Suzanne M. at the store, ran on and … Continue reading It kept going.
