7.5mi I was first on the scene, followed closely by Paul. The Harbormaster's office is a polling place, so we spoke about the election while we watched the setup and line of voters begin to form. The air was crisp, not much of a breeze, with temps in the high 60s. This is good running … Continue reading Share the road

4mi. When I pulled into the parking lot and saw our group gathering near the cars, I knew there was something new brewing. Apparently the work to paint the stripes on the track was happening today, and the Benjamin School hired a gal to sit in a car to make sure none of the Thursday … Continue reading Breezy and stripes
2000 yards I did the early am LA Fitness swim today. There was a senior citizen lady slapping laps in a lane next to me. For most of my workout, we went about the same pace. I would be faster on the straight swimming, I think she did good rapid turns and caught some time … Continue reading The wet truth
40 i ride/4 mi run A 6 am start time first morning of Daylight Standard Time means only 10 minutes of darkness followed by the empty roads of, "I get to sleep late another hour" mentality. I rode to the end of Gomez road with Lanae, who is tapering for MiamiMan Tri next weekend. We … Continue reading Early and chatty
10mi. New start location as the Tri Running Sports store has moved across the street into what was Cycle Science. I met all of our displaced NY Marathoners, many wore the "flight shirts" I made personalized with each runner's name. I ran first with Lisa Reiss to let her know I'd be moving soon and … Continue reading The one I thought I’d miss
4 mi. For all the people that say they will "taper", "do less" and generally relax before a race, I say it's not tough for me. Today was a track workout I felt fine to run well, but slogged a slow series of intervals to be fresh for NYC Marathon. Paul cast a few 1000m … Continue reading Relax in the back
50mi. Today I started with the group at 6:45 - maybe 10 people were on the ride. Wind from the NW made it a climb heading up, but our group was ready to paceline into that breeze. We morphed into a smaller group at Bridge Rd, then smaller again at Gomez and some took Dixie … Continue reading Take a windy turn on wheels
10 mi. Starting at the store (for the last time since they are moving) allowed me to slowly slog the 10 mile run. I wore the trail shoes to see how that felt. I glued the sole tips back on after they peeled off for the second year in a row in Atlanta. I ran … Continue reading Dark and windy taper
5mi run/21 mi ride They say the more adverse the conditions get, the better the workout. I believe! Hurricane Sandy is heading up the coast from Miami, it won't directly hit us but it will bring wind and rain through Saturday afternoon. Today's track workout was a smattering of shorter distances topping out at 800m … Continue reading Rolling heavy in the big winds
30mi. It's tougher each week to manage a ride on real wheels and not have time or sunlight run out on me. I went to the Inlet in a stiff breeze, enjoying a healthy breeze at my back all the way home. I took a picture of the approaching and menacing Hurricane Sandy. There weren't … Continue reading Solo ride into the dark
