50 mi. Suzanne and I left the 7am start group only minutes before, thinking they'd catch us easily. They never did. We went to Bridge Rd, paused, continued up Gomez and over to Sandsprit park with no trailers. We saw the group near the Port Salerno traffic circle fixing a flat, it was the second … Continue reading Fifty necessary miles

Wheels in motion, on the pavement, the trail and in my head.
26mi. Starting at 9am is a luxury for me, I know only early times for most of my workouts. I met Chiara at her house to start. We rode the bumpy and under construction A1A route off Singer Island, up to US-1, north to A1A again and then to the inlet turnaround. It was a … Continue reading Last ride of the year
17.5 mi. The Wednesday ride route with Suzanne was very breezy today. I had installed her original Felt wheelset last night, the skewer borrowed from the Cosmic set I Have at home with a rear flat from the Lake Worth tri. Wind was from the East/Southeast. The flags on A1A south were pointing as if … Continue reading The flags do not lie
This was a gamble, training exercise slated for Palm Beach - based at the intersection of the Atlantic Ocean and Worth Avenue. The local Palm Beach police aren't usually keen to having anything "out of the ordinary" occur on their watch. Shirtless people scampering down the Worth Ave straightaway is not on their things to … Continue reading Stealthman 3
44mi. After yesterday's long run, today was a ride with Suzanne to Boca Raton and the Doghouse Cyclery. Jennifer Vogel, husband Lane and Scott D'Angelo, owner were hosting a run and Q&A session. They billed it as a 5 or 10k run social with the Badwater finishers, Lane and Jenn. It was interesting to speak … Continue reading To the Doghouse!
18 mi. I came ready to ride, not expecting that anyone else would really do it with the impending winds and rain, plus kids are back in school this week... When I got to the track, Lilia said she'd ride and that she had all of her things. Adrienne said no, Erica no, but Lilia … Continue reading Ride the storm
18mi. Today was to be a school drop off for John and early to work. Really early, like get there 1.5 hrs before the building is ready for a day's work. I spoke with Suzanne the night before and found she does a morning ride or brick most Wednesdays, I think if it's short enough, … Continue reading Surprise ride!
50 mi. What could go wrong on a sunny Sunday morning with the group? I arrived kinda late, in time to use my refurbished pump and also help Lilia get her bike ready. I had the new Garmin in Biking mode, all my drinks and treats, I was ready. I started a bit after the … Continue reading Some wind, no tech
40 mi. Not looking to be away from John for too long, I chose a shorter than most ride. I arrived early to the parking lot but ended up being one of the last riders to leave the park. I saw Austin's new Shiv, a surprise purchase while he was up in NC... great bike … Continue reading A new park on the route
3/8mi, 13mi, 5k This was a good outing, the threat of a tropical storm interfering with the race faded as the race date drew closer. The pre-race show Friday night was in its usual cramped Jupiter Resort ballroom. I got a neat Tri Running Sports hat from Linda to wear on the run - very … Continue reading Loggerhead Triathlon ’11
