2000m Good thing today's swim was LA Fitness instead of an outdoor pool. Driving John to school, we went through a patch of hail and lightning. I made easy work of the swim, hopped in and pushed thru 40 laps. I kept reminding myself that swimming is a problem because I don't treat it like … Continue reading Hail swimming
6mi. I didn't think about it until I woke up too early - today's that day when you're supposed to run because everyone else who runs in America will join you in spirit or on the roads. Ok, foregoing all of that, I had some things I wanted to try and Wednesday morning looked like … Continue reading National Running Day
46mi. I rode to Sandsprit Park with Austin as a method to give my legs a good spin. We went up at a moderate 19-20mph pace, and talked all the way. He didn't surge ahead except for one stretch up Dixie highway. On the way back he suggested we ride Dixie to the end and … Continue reading Post race spin out ride
I really appreciated the Saturday vs Sunday race date and the WPB proximity to home. On Friday night I dropped my bike off and with Sal & Suzanne's help, wrapped it up nicely to ward off the rain. We also did Char and Rick Luise's bike. I parked at Datura lot for the $5 all … Continue reading Motivation Man Olympic tri
4 mi. I ran well today, holding my legs in check and keeping my breathing up to speed enough to stay with Tom Matese on all of the 1km intervals. Small group today, Paul and I were the only ones doing Motivation Man tri that chose to run this morning. I definitely felt good about … Continue reading We can do the 1k, it’s like a 10k
8 mi. I arrived on time, only to find Paul had already been there and spun a warmup lap in the parking lot already. I ran one of those with him, then the first two laps I did by myself. I ran the remainder of the hills with Seth Kaufman, who was interested in the … Continue reading Good yapping up the hills
50 mi bike, 3 mi run. Heat and a day that felt more like summer than spring. We rode as a fractured group to Bridge Road, then Suzanne, Rick, Suzanne, Adrienne and I went up Dixie Hwy. Rick and Suzanne sprinted quickly up the northbound road, I led Suzanne and Adrienne in an unsuccessful chase. … Continue reading Power to the girls
16 mi. I seldom have to run the first 6 dark miles alone, I was prepared and I brought enough water and dressed for warm weather. Only a small breeze from the north helped me. When I returned form the solo PGA trip, I went to the store and met with Chiara and her younger … Continue reading A NY companion
5mi. On what Thursday do we only have 12 people line up to run Paul's track workout? I stayed behind Erica on most intervals, surging to stay with the four fast guys on the 300 meter dashes. 1000m w/200m recovery 500m w/200m recovery 400m w/100m recovery 400m w/100m recovery 400m w/100m recovery 500m w/200m recovery 300m w/100m recovery 300m w/100m recovery … Continue reading Slow day to run fast
2000 yards. In the gap between John's dropoff at school and work starting, I caught 2000 more yards of swimming. An older lady came late in my workout and relaxingly cruised at the same speed or faster than me. When you get out and see how slow she was, and how slow I am with … Continue reading More laps uninterrupted
