Today Linda and George created a holiday workout largely aimed at allowing beginners to practice a triathlon on some of the same grounds as next month's Loggerhead Triathlon. We met at 8am to swim the full course of 3/8 mi. The water was warm, calm and clear. I finished the swim in 10:20, probably behind … Continue reading Phony Loggerhead
7 mi. I knew I'd made plans for meeting Lani S. for her first bridge run, so having everything laid out and ready ahead of time was important the night before. I set the alarm, but no response from the radio at 4:15 or whenever it was supposed to fire off. I snapped out of … Continue reading A first timer rises.
5 mi. Another one of the run and ride days - we did good intervals that had us tested on 500s and 200s at the end. 1 mi warmup jog 300m w/200m recovery 700m w/200m recovery 500m w/100m recovery 500m w/100m recovery 1000m w/200m recovery 500m w/100m recovery 500m w/100m recovery 200m w/100m recovery 200m … Continue reading Plenty of 500s
100mi This morning was a century ride for Austin's 16th birthday as requested a few weeks ago. There was supposed to be a breeze from the west, but it was from the North, getting us all the way up A1A to Ft Pierce. I arrived at the bunker lot first, 4:15am. I had a secret … Continue reading Austin’s Birthday Century
28 mi. I knew by checking the weather report yesterday that the winds from Tropical Storm Debbie would still be pressing us at 15mph from the SSW. This means that my ride would be legendary going up Military Trail, then a struggle coming all the way home from Jupiter Inlet Park. It was dark when … Continue reading Breakthrough.
2000m It's getting easier to just hop in the LA Fitness pool and tick off a mile. Sometimes I feel like I go in stagger step pulls, like I'm accelerating then I slow then I accelerate again. The pool area was very warm today, dark in one corner because I think some lights are burnt … Continue reading Another lunch mile
8 mi. Walter and I were the lone 5am starters today. We did the warmup laps in the parking lot, noticing it was very hot (80 deg) and humid, but a stiff breeze from the remnants of Tropical Storm Debbie was keeping us cool. We hit the bridge and for the second week in a … Continue reading Breezy and thankful for it!
16mi. I started with Steve and Chiara and Julie Garberg, down to PGA and back at 5am. Chiara's knee has been strained so she stopped a few times to stretch it out. I also took a restroom break at French Connection on the way back. I noticed later in the day that Chiara posted on … Continue reading Long talking run w/Walter
5mi Track today with Erica calling out the sprints. More of a bonus was I brought my bike for the forst of this summer's 20 mi post rides. Track was good, I ran w/Erica on the intervals, always trailing especially on the 1000m and the 800m, I was 50m behind by the end of those. … Continue reading Track and a summer ride
30mi. I left the house today at 5:45am, ordinarily a ride from Suzanne's house would start an hour later. It was raining hard but I didn't fuss at all today, I just went with flashing lights blazing. I did change out of the wacky white suspenders because they would be irreparably stained. I went Northlake to Military … Continue reading Stormy solo ride
