Wheels in motion, on the pavement, the trail and in my head.
3mi. On a very still and cool morning, I went for my usual Wednesday 20 mile loop around Singer Island. Temps were in the low 60s but out of habit I wore a sleeveless jersey. I considered going back for a regular short sleever once I felt the breeze zinging me through the shoulder sleeve … Continue reading Close call at 5am
1.5 hrs I met Ellie and Dave Anderson at JD State Park to plod thru the sand. They know the trails well, and since I took a slef imposed break form riding there due to the sandy conditions, I'd need them. We did familiar trails in an unfamiliar pattern, having me learn about the park … Continue reading Last ride for “oh-ten”
What a day and what a race! Great conditions yielded my best day combining the three disciplines, a 5:04 time. Swimming was 2-3 minutes better than last year, with the swim transition in a better spot for the bikes. People helped me out of my wetsuit this year, that was a luxury. I started the … Continue reading MiamiMan Triathlon 2010
20 mi. I did a loop around Singer Island, primarily to check on the bike newly serviced by Big Wheel Cycles. It works great, the levers are tight, the shifters are tight, it's ready for the race!

I see a mag trainer coming in my future... … Continue reading At least I woke up

50mi/6 mi. Charlotte, Water and I started at 6am and rode the first hour in the dark. Walter left us at Bridge Road, we kept a good pace all te way to Sandsprit Park. I didn't bring any Clif Bars, so I was drinking plenty instead. We came back to a stiff breeze that made … Continue reading Windy necessary brick day
20mi. I did the timed Singer Island course today, slower than I should have. 20.7 avg speed, in great conditions, a mild breeze from the North and cool 73 temps.
100mi This ride was done with Charlotte in better conditions than the September century. It was 72 degrees and a 6-7mph breeze from the N-NE, which was not a problem going there in the dark. On the way up, Charlotte's from light fell off the front of her bars, she did have a second one. … Continue reading Another 100 for the cause
