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?

14 mi An easy, dark start at the store with Teresa, Megan and myself. Recapping last night's fun and laughs, we ran the duck pond route and back. Add a stop to chat with the locals at the store for the 6am start, and I did well to stay involved at a good pace. I … Continue reading Morning after LLS Bash dash
5mi. I knew Paul was goingto visit Greg and Laura this week, and with Erica absent from training who will organize the workout? John was there before I arrived, he delegated it to Dave Garfield. Dave didn't leave any guessing for us, he quickly conferred with Perry to deliver today's workout, each set run in … Continue reading No Paul, low attendance
2000 yards. I know I have to, but it's not fun, desireable or good still. I come a bit later since John is at scout camp. No one else is swimming except for the lady in the too-small bikini, so it's easy to slip into the center lane and do my 40 touches to the … Continue reading Monday is energy-low
100 mi ride/3 mi run A 6:00am meetup means we started pedaling around 6:15. This is my thrid 100 mile ride of the year. We had a group of Barry and Lisa Reiss, Sal and Suzanne, Erica, Erin and Izzy. We rode in shifting winds up the wet road to the lighthouse bridge. Barry and … Continue reading Third century production
10 mi run/35 mi ride I came solo to the store and ran to French Connection for a bathroom break, then around the duck pond. I did go far enough down A1A to J-Town Bikes (now BikeStreet) to get 3 miles in before the scheduled store run. I met Gary Walk and Brandon LeBar running … Continue reading A good mixup
1/2 IM distance. I had a big day planned, this is a run through of what long-course tri prep entails. I've done this race before, so I know the routine. As my fourth 1/2IM, I expect to not leave everything out on the bike course so I can run well. It could be warm like … Continue reading Motivation Man 1/2 IM
50mi ride/3 mi run - So ring the bell again, second day in a row I'm brick riding and running. It's breezy again otday, with no letup in sight all the way to and past next week's race. I start at 6am, well we meet at 6 and start riding at 6:20am. I'm with Erin, … Continue reading Keep the formula intact.
50 mi/2 mi run - Leaving the TRS store at 5am, Erica and I saw a few people gathering to run early today. I haven't done one of those in awhile, I guess I'll have to pickup LSD runs in JUne. Right now the empahsis is on time in the saddle. I wore the Garneau … Continue reading Bite the breeze
2000 yards. With the local Motivation Man 1/2 iron distance looming in a week, it's now that I solidify the thoughts I want to carry with me as I race. Starting obviousl;y with swimming, I know last year I was slow for the Olympic distance. The current was against me, yes, but it wasn't a … Continue reading Consumed
