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.

19mi. It's never so calm that you can ride in any direction and feel like there's no wind. Except for this morning! It rained last night, so I didn't fill up my tires to 140psi 'til the early am hours. I used the new PGA-Mirasol route and improved the average speed for today to 21.7mph. … Continue reading A rare calm.
2200 yards. Carolyn gave me a workout to follow from the TriFaster iPhone app, which I purchased myself as a result. I found it very interesting to be following a plan vs just slapping 2000 yards of self-imposed boredom. Here's the workout... Warmup Set (400m) 4 x [4 x 25 @ 0:35] Main Set (1400m) … Continue reading With a purpose!
39 mi. It's good for me to keep track of the workouts and mileage, I guess I should look back now and again to see what I did that worked. This ride was from Carolyn's house in North Palm Beach to Bridge Rd, Hobe Sound and back. Our average speed was below 16mph, it was … Continue reading More time in the saddle
20 mi. When I see a forecast, I'm not really looking for the temperature as much as the wind speed and direction. 10mph S SE means most of my ride around Singer Island will be exposed to the wind. It is seldom still. The aero wheels feel the side gusts, and obviously the head on … Continue reading Seldom still.
19mi. Those are my eyes, riding in the dark, looking for old fender parts, manhole covers, reflectors and such. They are riveted to the road in front of me! I chose a new route today, not wanting to do the same Singer Island loop. It was a good first exposure to this ride, I didn't … Continue reading Riveted to the road!
2000 yards. I swam today and did the usual freestyle for all short course laps. I had a guy next to me that I thought was slow, but he was going faster than me! At lap 32 of 40, I decided to stay at least with him. It looked at his pace that I would … Continue reading Getting a slight bit faster.
20mi. I have a looping route (that returns me back home, not spins me upside down) of exactly 20 miles that I chance during the week. Being that I'm responsible for taking my son to school in the am, there is no room for error. I can't flat or crash, if I do, I need … Continue reading Riding during the week? Luxury!
41 miles. I can ride at almost full wick and not have it affect my lower leg. Good in one sense, but makes me think, should my lower leg be contributing anything to the cycling effort, or does it normally and that action has no effect on my calf muscles? I rode with Charlotte & … Continue reading Confirmation!
2000 yards. How is it that I can run 30 miles, ride all day, but kick so poorly in the water? Today I did about 200 yards of kicking. What silliness! A very good swimming girl was next to me, her whole leg from the hip moved rapidly when she kicks. For me, it feels … Continue reading Keep kicking
