20mi. I met Adrienne at her home in San Michele, pumped up my tire and joined in the group of seven riding this am. Lanae Barnes, Lilia, Erica, Teresa and two guys I don't know went thru PGA and Mirasol to total 20 miles at a 20-22mph pace. Good ride, and I arrive home quickly … Continue reading 20 bonus mile ride

Wheels in motion, on the pavement, the trail and in my head.
30mi. The idea was to go only 30 miles but to spin one gear lower than where I belonged. I left at the same time as the group but allowed the mass to get further ahead of me. I stayed behind with no pull, we were riding with the wind up the Island. I stayed … Continue reading Short recovery 30
30 mi. Chiara set the idea in my head - "Let's ride after work..." Thinking I'd have a good chance at doing that, I agreed. As the day progressed, she found she couldn't do the ride at 5:30, then at 6:30, then at all. I was at this time, ready to go. I drove home, … Continue reading I’ll do it myself anyway
100mi. Showing up to start at 3:30am makes for a tired ride in the dark. Anita brought Austin who was the most excited of the three of us to do the century ride. Charlotte's last big ride would be on her Specialized Transition. Big difference, as she was strong in the late miles as we … Continue reading One hundred hot ones.
40 mi. I know a later start exposes me to more heat, but I guess I needed a reminder! I attended a product testing event at Lululemon and ran 2-3 miles. That had me arrive later than the advertised 9am for the ride up and back with a smaller than usual group. I rode to … Continue reading 40@10
1/4mi/10 mi./3 mi. A good outing on a wet course. My swim was a mess of bumping into people and learning the lesson that being better than most of the people will help me avoid that in the future. This should have been much easier to do in a 1/4 mi straight line! Biking … Continue reading Multirace Tradewinds Tri
mini tri. It was raining at home, dry at the TRS store as I drove by, and pouring on A1A. I found doused Charlotte first, she was turning around and heading back to her car and home. Then Walter, who pressed on to finish 16 in the now cool air. The training tri was supposed … Continue reading Stealthman 2
30mi. It's not often that I get to ride after work so I took it. Charlotte came to my house and we rode on the busy streets of Military Trail, PGA Blvd., US-1, etc. It was breezy in the face both ways. Our average speed was low, and I was unable to get air into … Continue reading Sneak it in.
5 mi. A very good track session that included a mile and some interesting 800m sprints. We were told to choose a lane based on mile speed, 8 min milers in the inside lane, then 7s in the 2nd lane, 6s in the third lane. I went in the 5+ min milers lane with only … Continue reading Pushing mile and 800s
31 mi. I rode after work instead of waking early, and I paid for the difference. It was very windy - 17-20mph from the Northeast. Not usually a problem, but I chose the Jupiter Inlet Beach park as my turnaround, which had me facing big winds going east on Northlake and al the way up … Continue reading A day early paid for in wind credits
