50mi. I rode with Chiara, Walter, Stanton, Charlotte, Carolyn. It was a warm morning and it proved to be a good workout. Chiara was ready to go, keeping a good pace to and from the start point. I used Carbo Pro in the water bottle, and half/half G2 & water. My legs felt good, my … Continue reading A good brick!

10mi. Ordinarily, a holiday weekend means more time to run and ride long. That's when I'm not injured or recovering - a regular start at the store run yielded a warm 10 mi for me today, with no lingering effects afterwards. I ran with Suzanne and a guy named Richard Powell. We saw Mimi running, … Continue reading Saturday’s are back, too!
8mi. Joined by Walter, I ran the mile warmup and cooldown and a slow 6 miles of hills. No ill effects from my left calf muscle, which was the hope. I think it was the warmest 5am start ever on the bridge, my car said 86 degrees. It at one point driving there said 89, … Continue reading Bridge Tues
30mi. Having just returned from Colorado and Utah where little structured activity occurred, I went riding to Bridge Rd and back with Chiara and Walter. We kept a good pace 22+ going there, then got subjected to the wind coming home. I looked to keep my speed while pulling over 20mph, but I saw some … Continue reading Spin the wind after a layoff
2000 yds. Sometimes when I swim it is as if I am starting over. I don't feel I have any mastery of basic freestyle, and I seem slow to kick and pull. That was today. Nothing out of the ordinary, here's the workout, many 25s for the main set. I started following the interval times, … Continue reading Where’d it all go?

1600 yds. I did the workout below, in the crowded Lake Lytal pool due to summer camp attendance. I swam next to Dave Ragsdale, unknowingly until we were asked to leave the pool because a kid had apparently vomited in the pool on the other side. Usually they clear the pool for lightning, but I … Continue reading Swim in the relish
20 mi. I did the circle around Singer Island at a below normal pace avg of 19.2 mph. I had a headwind of 10 mph for the first eastward heading 4 miles, I didn't try to push too hard against that. I was one gear easier than usual to employ spinning mentality. Even riding south … Continue reading Better than sleeping
33miles. This was a good day to ride, really no breeze except for a small bit coming back. We had plenty of time to talk, ride, and see others out there. We went to the preserve park at the end of Jupiter Island, and also saw the alleged "Bill Gates" secret road with all of … Continue reading Tooling up the Island with Walter
2000 yards. I tried the swim fins with yesterday's workout - it led me to have weird cramps in my toes and calf muscles. Today, thankfully, no kicking was prescribed. Just a few mixed sets of regular freestyle. It was warm and uncrowded today, wait 'til next week when all the schools are out and … Continue reading No kicks after therapy
