50 mi/2 mi run - Leaving the TRS store at 5am, Erica and I saw a few people gathering to run early today. I haven't done one of those in awhile, I guess I'll have to pickup LSD runs in JUne. Right now the empahsis is on time in the saddle. I wore the Garneau … Continue reading Bite the breeze

Wheels in motion, on the pavement, the trail and in my head.
3mi run/50mi bike. Erica, cleared to run more than the 10 minutes last weekend gave her, wanted to meet at 6am, run 25 minutes and then ride to Sandsprit Park. I planned on riding from my house and then doing another longer ride Sunday, but why not, I'll try this workout. She wanted to swim … Continue reading Mix up more and I’ll do it.
59 mi ride/5 mi run These brick workouts on beautiful days are great. I know step #1 is the Motivation Man Triathlon in 3 weeks, so I have to be used to the "cycle, hop off, run fast in the heat" reality. I started with Suzanne and Sal just after 5:15am, we rode with headlights … Continue reading Early test for half the marbles
46mi ride/1 mi run. I know I need to be pedalling more than running in prep for this summer's two distance triathlons. So I left the house at 6am, lights on and heading north. I knew a ride to Hobe Sound would have me doing more than 40 miles, then I'd jog around the neighborhood … Continue reading Skip the run
50mi ride/3mi run. This is what I'm supposed to be doing - like a prescription, the success in an Iron-distance event is based on my ability to click off rides and connect competant runs to those rides. I met Sal at 6:30pm at Loggerhead Park. A new event, "Oceanfest" had some of the parking goofed … Continue reading The prescription
50mi/3mi run I was ready to go but not ready for cold when I showed up at 6am for the ride with Adrienne, Lanae and Lisa. They wanted to do 60-70 miles, I was ready for maybe 50. Works out good either way, if I don't do the longer miles I will get to run … Continue reading Strange feet
49 mi. I arrived at Loggerhead park, thinking the group would be waiting til it got light out to start. Wrong-O. Some familiar cars were there, but only Marty Frezza rolling around the parking lot on his bike. It was 61 degrees, maybe a chill too much for my arms, but I went short sleeved … Continue reading 50 the real way
101 mi It came together like a last minute thing. Lanae said she was looking to up last weekend's 80 miler by doing 100. I said I'd try that, knowing and suggesting I like to leave and return earlier than most. Lanae suggested we leave at 5:15am, but on Thursday changed to include thee group … Continue reading Gut Check 101
80 miles. To date, I've been on the bike twice this year. Once to ride with Erica 40 miles last week, and a solo 100 miler in January. Hardly the plan for an Ironman-to-be. This was me coming back from several weekends of travel, races and the like. I met the group at 6:15, latecomers … Continue reading To the power lines and back
100mi. I didn't leave the house thinking it was going to be a century ride. I thought after the Hangover 100 on Wednesday that I'd like to (with all of my free time) see more of the south county, A1A, etc. So I called Robin G., maybe she'd be up for doing some of the … Continue reading Tired, wet, dirty, happy
