Wheels in motion, on the pavement, the trail and in my head.
400m/11mi/3.1mi The fourth time I've entered this race proves to be my best ever! I came with Austin and his parents to help him do his first race. We arrived nice and early, picked out two good transition spots, and had plenty of time to walk through and know what to do when the lights … Continue reading Lake Worth Triathlon 2010
20mi. I went out on the North 20mi TT loop and did very well. My average speed in the dark was 21.4mph. This is good for the upcoming Lake Worth Triathlon where the ride is 11 miles. I felt my legs going to the edge, pushing a high gear than I could reliably spin. It … Continue reading Love the North route

The road we took to get there was nice, north of the Hutchinson Island bridges it was right along the Intracoastal waterway. Walter turned back … Continue reading 100 miler
40 mi. Today I thought we were going to Sandsprit park for 50 miles, but we agreed to go shorter and run 3 miles after the ride. I felt god, didn't try to overdo it on the pulls, and decided to ride back from Bridge Rd with Charlotte when she wasn't feeling up to the … Continue reading 40 as a compromise.
50 mi. The trip to Sandsprit Park was Scott, Chiara, Walter, Carolyn and I. Going to the lighthouse, we only went 17 mph. Once on the island, 20-22 to Bridge road. My seat felt as if it needed adjustment so I don't get uncomfortable or numb. Too late of rthis ride. I noticed the wind … Continue reading Speedier coming home
20 mi. This instance of the Singer Island Loop was graced with a mild SE breeze, and the odd appearance of fog in the headlights of my car. I start shortly after 5am, it didn't look foggy out, but I was surrounded by thick and moist mini clouds I guess. Wearing orange lenses, I should … Continue reading Foggy inside?
20 mi. Today's Singer Island circle was calm out west by my house, but once I headed eastward, the breeze was apparent. I felt the 10mph ESE wind immediately, my speedometer was hovering in the 19-20mph range. Up the Blue Heron Bridge into the wind, across Singer Island with the wind, I touched 22-23mph. Coming … Continue reading Thru the breezy mist

We rode to Bridge Road, where Charlotte, Carolyn and Stanton decided they'd be going to the end of Gomez and turning back. Scott, Chiara and I went … Continue reading 70 miles of heat & wind.
20 mi. I spun a 19 mph average for the Singer Island circle... going into an 18 mph sustained wind from the east had me slugging at 16, 17, 18 mph up Northlake and over the bridge. Coming home with the wind, I was going an easy 23-25 mph. I finished one water bottle on … Continue reading Wind-ee!
