5mi. The run before Loggerhead tri for most athletes is tapered. Jokingly, I heard people referring to it as the "World Championships of Jupiter." I had all intents of running fast since my leg has done considerable healing and it does not feel any different than the uninjured one. I had a good run, we … Continue reading Back at track

20 mi. Today's Singer Island circle was calm out west by my house, but once I headed eastward, the breeze was apparent. I felt the 10mph ESE wind immediately, my speedometer was hovering in the 19-20mph range. Up the Blue Heron Bridge into the wind, across Singer Island with the wind, I touched 22-23mph. Coming … Continue reading Thru the breezy mist

8mi. Today's run was actually perfect weather for the ride, not as much so for the running. It was so dead still, the sweat began for me on the 1 mile warmup - Chiara and Scott came along for the 5am start. I ran my 6 laps with Scott, who went slow enough thankfully as … Continue reading Bridges count, even when I go slooooow!

8 mi. It was 86 degrees and I could not run fast at all. I did some laps solo, two with Scott and one with a guy I've never met before. I made sure I swam under the bridge with Scott and Carolyn after the run, I was soaked and depleted. The lousy showers in … Continue reading Hotter than I remember!
70 mi. This adventure was a group of 6 of us at the beginning, Chiara, Scott H., Stanton, Charlotte and Carolyn. We started at 6:30am from Loggerhead Park. We rode to Bridge Road, where Charlotte, Carolyn and Stanton decided they'd be going to the end of Gomez and turning back. Scott, Chiara and I went … Continue reading 70 miles of heat & wind.
20 mi. I spun a 19 mph average for the Singer Island circle... going into an 18 mph sustained wind from the east had me slugging at 16, 17, 18 mph up Northlake and over the bridge. Coming home with the wind, I was going an easy 23-25 mph. I finished one water bottle on … Continue reading Wind-ee!
2000 yards. I expect my own lane! Today only three other guys were swimming. I used the sunscreen and felt very good freestyling and kicking with the fins. Most of the intervals were 150, 100 and 50s. Warmup Set (400y) 100 kick easy @ 0:10 rest, 100 kick moderate @ 0:10 rest, 50 kick easy … Continue reading My own lane is not a luxury.
8mi. When I leave the house at 4:40am, it's 83 degrees. When I get to the bridge, it's 88 degrees? My car is lying to me! I wanted a breeze, but not this much - theres a direct wind from the East at 17 mph. Going up is tough, coming down into the wind is … Continue reading Add it up, it’s hot!
