30mi. It was a good day to ride, a deceptive breeze from the northwest that didn't seem to help us much on the way back. Going up Jupiter Island, we had the large group ahead of us, which I wanted to avoid joining. We stayed behind them, then their group broke apart, so we increased … Continue reading Short but effective riding

Wheels in motion, on the pavement, the trail and in my head.
This first event at Coral Cove park was a great upgrade on the Running Sports holiday weekend. We based our bikes on our cars as a transition, we had volunteers that helped with water, and timing the athletes. I swam with Austin and chose to ride my mountain bike so as not to be tempted … Continue reading StealthMan
58mi. Today I met Scott on his "solo" ride to the tiki hut and back. He claims to have been doing two rides per week on the streets, and three spin classes per week at LA Fitness in the mornings. It's working, he was very prepared and strong on this ride. I felt labored on … Continue reading Early again
50 mi. Austin, Chiara and Suzanne signed on for a ride to Sandsprit and back. We discussed Chiara's hangover and near miss on making the ride altogether. As a group, we stayed at 20-21mph for the ride up to the turnaround. On the way back, Suzanne decided to do "pickups" starting at Bridge Rd. I … Continue reading Welcome Back – NOT!
30 mi. With a leg not good enough to run on, I rode with Charlotte from Loggerhead Park to Bridge Rd and back. We spoke most of the way, our speed seldom touched 20mph either to or from the turnaround. I like to loosen up, so thins was post Boston exercise on a sunny and … Continue reading Get reaquainted
30 mi. I rode from home to the Jupiter Inlet to get some cycling in. It was nice and cool, mid 60s, plus not much of a breeze to contend with. I was glad to do some riding on the new Vittoria training tires.
29mi. This morning Charlotte debuted her fast new Transition Expert. It is white and carbon, a very nice scheme of color for the Specialized 2011 models. Chiara came with her new wheels, and uniform, too. We went to Bridge Road and back, not with a group but joined by a guy we've ridden with before, … Continue reading New bikes abound.
4 mi. I ran quickly from the house to the back of the neighborhood while John did his homework - this will be a good way to gauge my ability to blast out 3-4 miles at the end of a sprint triathlon. I'll keep it alive.
19.3mi The distance may be changing because the cat eye needs a battery! I chose the Mirasol route because it definitely has less traffic and wacky people. I averaged 20.3 for the route, had to stop at a traffic light at PGA and Central Blvd, but the concern is getting in an extra ride and … Continue reading Spinning safely
29 mi ride/4 mi run - Walter and I left Loggerhead park at 12:40pm It was a great afternoon to ride, mid 70s and sunny. I used generous amounts of sunscreen, brought one Clif Bar and one water bottle. The breeze was from the Northeast and wasn't a big deal in either direction, but it felt … Continue reading Mini brick workout
