13.1 mi. This race and the prep leading up to it was filled with so much fun and enjoyment for me. Travel, friends, fun and FUN, (the band) made for a great weekend in Vancouver . Charlotte, Stanton and I drove up Friday afternoon from Seattle. From home - I knew Teresa and Robert, Lanae, … Continue reading Sea Wheeze 2012

I've done this race ight times in twelve years, not verified, but that's what I think I have in my bag of experiences going into this year's "World Championships of Jupiter." Many of those years were spent chasing Rick Opton down on the bike, trying to transition faster than him to outrun him in a … Continue reading Loggerhead Triathlon 2012
40mi. I rode with the group today, starting at 6:45am when some opted to ride at 6:30. I told Suzanne M I'd only be going 40mi vs the group's planned 50 since I really didn't need to blast out any more to do well at Loggerhead Tri next week. We rode as a group of … Continue reading 40 more done well.
8mi. I came and ran the bridge warmup and run all solo. Adrienne and Lilia showed up, as did Kylan and a few others later than I. I t was very humid and still, maybe a relief breeze from the east but not much. I brought and drank water every 2 laps on the hill. … Continue reading Pre Sea Wheeze hill run
13.5 mi. Really, when do I train specifically for one race. Never! So here I was with a Saturday long run and no idea what to do. Chiara said she'd come at 6, as did Suzanne M. I arrived at 5:30 and ran with Gary Walk and Dave Stone for 3 mi around the duck … Continue reading Time trial
5 mi. No track repairs were made in the past week, so Paul setup a 1/4 mile course on the parking lot. A circle around the tree-lined separator islands, we looked to do a dozen 400m dashes, each at varying speeds as chosen and announced by Paul. We mixed up between 75-80% speed, long strides, … Continue reading Quarters and a blinking light
28 mi. Today's ride I started early. The weather said hot and humid with a SSE wind of 4mph. I didn't feel any breeze pushing me north, I wasn't going that fast (Need to repair cheek lights to see speedometer) heading up, most glances at the gauge said 21mph. I had to slow and maneuver … Continue reading Just 20mph
8mi. With Chiara and Walter both letting me know they wouldn't be at the bridge, I assumed I'd be solo huffing it up and down the hill. When I arrived, it was Paul and I, he had already completed a lap of warmup. I ran my first one with him. He's leaving for London in … Continue reading Just when you think you’re alone…
16mi. I woke up early at 2:50am to run what I thought would be 26 miles. Garmin charged, Nuun tablet for the hand bottle, the right clothes - I was ready. I started at 3:20am, the temp in the car said 86, unusually hot! I started the run with coconut milk in the hand bottle, … Continue reading Abbreviated
5mi. Only a few people showed up for the track episode, probably because the word got out that Benjamin School is resurfacing the track and fixing damaged spots. Paul figured out that from the entrance to the campus to the never-ever opened gate by the track was 1/2 mile. So his idea of 6 - … Continue reading New untracked workout.
