2.4 mi swim/112 mi bike/26 mi run. For every oval sticker on the back of a car, for every red logo tattoo on the back of a calf muscle, there's a story. These are things I recall from yesterday, only 12 hours from my finish. Instead of crafting the thoughts into a chronological listing - … Continue reading Ironman Switzerland 2013

8 mi. Having missed last week's hill run in exchange for a flatland timed run, I showed up on time and found Teresa pulling in same as me. She gave me a pin to relay to Jessica, and we waited for Joe and Teresa's other swim buddy to start warmups. They did one lap, Joe … Continue reading Chatting in the breeze
80mi bike/one hour (6mi) run - Thwarted from a typical early start because I dropped John off to be taken to run camp at FSU, I was leaving Loggerhead park alone at 7am. I rode to The tiki hut solo, then redesigned the route from 60 to 80 miles feeling that would be good for … Continue reading Confidence builds
12 mi. Yesterday's hundred miler was good - this is a run on tired legs follow up. Lanae and I started at Loggerhead Park and ran tot he INlet, back south to the Juno Beach police station and returned to the park. We started at a pedestrian 7am, no worries on the heat. We ran … Continue reading A dozen as follow up
100 mi ride, 3 mi run. Lanae and I started at 4am from Dunkin Donuts parking lot. Thats' early, but I was ready with charged lights and food and drink powder stored.

7.5 miles I was second to arrive this morning, Paul's Jeep pulled in right before me. Teresa found us after the first lap of the parking lot - so I went with her to run the hill. She starts quick, knowing she wants to get to the pool for a segment of the master's swim … Continue reading Some race here?
62 mi ride, 5 mi run. Another week of getting to the bunker before 5am, this time no buckets of rain from the sky. I had a notion of making the nutrition element of the workout the main focus. What would I eat and drink that could emulate how I should feel in a month. … Continue reading The bricks that work
23 miles I came with the intent of running 18-20 miles, not burning up too much of my day. Lanae had plans to cover 24 miles, then go to work. She would be a part if not all of my run. We began almost missing each other at the TRS store. I sent a text … Continue reading H2Only
2000 yards Summer hours? Yes! I don't have to take John to school so I can avoid rushing to and from the pool at LA Fitness. When I get notice that I have to be in for a meeting with visiting guests at a certain time, that adds some urgency to my workout. I know … Continue reading Feeling like I have to be fast
51 mi ride/6 mi run. Good plan gone crazy! I woke up early for a 5am solo ride through to the Tiki hut, followed by a run of over 4 miles in the heat. Early prep and a drive to Marcinski Rd's "bunker" stop. When I got to Donald Ross Rd and US-1 and it's … Continue reading Mental training, I presume?
