20 mi. Today was steamy out, the house being somewhere near 76 degrees, outside felt much warmer at 79 degrees but very humid. I rode the PGA Mirasol route and averaged 21.1 mph. There were a surprising number of cars out, even with yesterday being the final class day for public schools. I want to … Continue reading More fog in the dark.

29mi. Sunday's ride was to Bridge Rd and back. Normally, a nice outing, today was amped up because of S SE winds of 10-12 mph. Going there myself, Chiara, Stanton Charlotte and Walter kept a good 21+ pace. Coming back was a wind tunnel exercise. I tried to use the aero position and pull the … Continue reading Mem.

2000 yards. I did all of the kicking with a set of cut fins, they fit way too tight which made that uncomfortable. I did the intervals prescribed, but only waited 15 secs between them. That should help! Warmup Set (400y) 100 kick easy @ 0:10 rest, 100 kick moderate @ 0:10 rest, 50 kick … Continue reading Some meaningful intervals
20mi. I spun through my Singer Island early route this morning instead of running. It was windy form the NE, so the trip up Singer Island was against the wind. My average speed was 19.1 for the route, my hurt leg felt some of the effects of riding so I never pushed that hard. It … Continue reading Off the mark a bit
6.5 mi What a surprise, I finished 6.5 of 7 miles and left limping. I arrived alone, ran a mile in the parking lot and felt nothing adverse. Then I ran bridge lap #1 alone, too. I encountered a loudmouth drunk coming down the hill, so when I saw Adrienne and Lisa Reiss staring, I … Continue reading Stung once more

32 miles. This was a great ride starting at the end of Key Biscayne in Bill Baggs State Park. I was camping with the scouts and knew bringing the tri bike was a good idea. I woke at 5:45am and had to sneak out of the park, which doesn't open until 8am. (I also had … Continue reading Miami ride
