31mi. This was my ultra distance training run that will suffice as a long run for the MiamiMan Tri. It is NOT on any training plan that I've heard of, but 5.5 hrs on any course prying against the body's creakiness is good training for the race. Charlotte said she hadn't done a long run … Continue reading Long run in a long time!

4 mi. I was feeling the effects of a very long run Saturday when it came time to go fast. I think I was quick on maybe three of the intervals, the rest I stayed respectably behind Erica. LIke 100m behind her. The weather was 71 degrees and it was breezy, nice feeling when we … Continue reading Cooling off!
8 mi. I ran today with John Reback, all six laps spent talking about current events, local real estate, joking around and of course triathlon. It was nice to hear how his sister will try to qualify for our Olympic Team in London 2012. My pace was good and I enjoyed getting to listen to … Continue reading 6 laps to learn
30 mi. Today's ride was a recovery form the long run, I went to Bridge Rd with Charlotte and then once on Jupiter Island, the 6:30 group. Coming back we rode with Dave Capparelli and 3 of his friends, that was a good pace until a 60+ yr old guy pulled the group at 24mph. … Continue reading Still fun to spin
400m/11mi/3.1mi The fourth time I've entered this race proves to be my best ever! I came with Austin and his parents to help him do his first race. We arrived nice and early, picked out two good transition spots, and had plenty of time to walk through and know what to do when the lights … Continue reading Lake Worth Triathlon 2010
12.5 miles I arrived at the Running Sports Store at 6am. This is later for me, I had planned on running the 10.5 miles solo before the next day's triathlon. I started alone and ran with a guy I have seen before at the track workout, light skin and fast. I made it to the … Continue reading Short Saturday
4 mi. This was a first, Paul sneaking in a mile for time days before most people were racing! I stayed back with Gary, thinking that would be 6:15 ish, but he ran a 6:02 and I was a step off that. I felt good after the mile which was in the middle of the … Continue reading Miles before a local race?
2000 yards. Enough practicing, Sunday I can try my swimming in the ocean against others. I feot as much faster but more efficient. Here's what today brought on a very nice sunny lunchbreak!

2000 yards. This workout was well done, I felt good using my whole arm stroking through the water instead of taking brief smaller strokes through the water. Warmup Set (200y) 2 x [25 easy @ 0:10 rest, 50 build @ 0:10 rest, 25 moderate-hard @ 0:10 rest] Main Set (1500y) 7 x [4 x 50 … Continue reading Cool waters mean more effort, I guess?
7.5 mi. I ran my first three laps in 85 deg heat solo, and spent the final three with Lily F., talking about all the consecutive races she is doing + MiamiMan things. It was good to keep her pace, even though I'm probably not too far off the original level I was running pre … Continue reading Bridge under full moon
