6 mi. Even though I ran my slowest possible Blue Heron Bridge laps ever today, it was good that I covered all the miles and had no ill effects from the recovering left leg. I got there and did not do the warmup mile or the cool down mile. I'd say without an accurate count … Continue reading It counts.

33 miles. Another ride up the Jupiter Island stretch, this time with others. I started with the 6:30am group, went most of he way up with them, staying to talk with Adrienne Papa for the last 3 miles heading north. The way back was with a new rider to the group named Chris, Bob who … Continue reading This again?
30 miles. Today was training on wheels. Carolyn didn't wake up for this one, so I cruised to Bridge Rd alone there and back. S SE wind of 13 mph made the trip back a test, like a 14 mile climb! I know my bike was setup for me properly, I wonder why my left … Continue reading Into the solo breeze
6 mi. A tune up run for the first time in a month. I ran my boring neighborhood route in 10 minute miles to see what my calf muscle feels like. I felt it different at mile 1. Tighter at mile 2. Very tight up & down my leg at mile 3, but not pain … Continue reading As slow a shuffle as shuffle is.
2000 yards. A nice sunny linch hour, enough SPF 70 spray for my back, and a custom swim plan from my iPhone! Here is today's workout: Warmup Set (300y) 150 easy @ 3:50, 2 x 25 drill @ 0:50 100 non-free Main Set (1500y) 15 x 100 (25 hard/50 easy/25 hard) @ 2:10 Warmdown Set … Continue reading 15 of anything in the water seems imposing!
19 miles. The time seems to be longer than just about an hour, and at today's 16.1 mph average pace, it was. I think about all sorts of things, it's so dark and as a result, there's no scenery, so I find an idea and I chase it. Work, training, swimming, it's all fair to … Continue reading Riding and daydreaming
2000 yds. Having relied upon the new TriFaster app to generate a workout for me, I went through the suggested warmup - main set - cooldown. i completely noticed a difference swimming with time and distance as a factor! I was going along faster trying to "earn" more of a rest in between each intervals. … Continue reading The new app works!
20mi. When I ride the tri bike, sleek and slender thing that it is, I use the aero bars as often as possible to keep my head out of the wind. On the mountain bike, no such luck! I did my usual loop today, a wind of 18 mph from the ESE was there to … Continue reading Notice the difference.
29mi. What a great day for riding with no winds or flaming temps to contend with. Chiara, Charlotte, Stanton and Carolyn all made a ride to Bridge Rd and back. It was Chiara's first ride since September. Meeting up was fun, the larger Sunday group was surprised to see Chiara show up... Marty, Adrienne, Erica … Continue reading Mother’s Day
2000 yards. With the new TriFaster app, I have to start with a baseline time trial result so it can build my workouts. I did that today, a 500 yard swim in 9:20. I first swam 500 freestyle to get warm and in a mood for more. Then I did the 500 TT. Then 250 … Continue reading Timed. Like it or not.
