2000 yards. When I swim alone, the LA Fitness option is a better choice. I am in and done quicker, plus I can stop and get something to eat if I want. I felt a good speed increase when my arm pull was something I concentrated on like a rythym. Here's what I did, substituting … Continue reading Closer and better solo

7.5 mi Bridge running is sometimes biased in that tere is no breeze heading one direction, and the other way is a relif. This morning was a mildest of relief breezes, I was hot even doing the 1 mile warmup. Charlotte came near the end of Lap #1, Scott Hicks came near the middle of … Continue reading No cool laps today
30mi. It was a good day to ride, a deceptive breeze from the northwest that didn't seem to help us much on the way back. Going up Jupiter Island, we had the large group ahead of us, which I wanted to avoid joining. We stayed behind them, then their group broke apart, so we increased … Continue reading Short but effective riding
16.5mi. It was an early rise, meeting Chaira, Charlotte and Adrienne at 5 to run to PGA and back before the regular store run. Chiara stashed bottles of water at PGA & FPL, which was good but then allowed us to take three brief stops instead of just two. This hurt when we arrived at … Continue reading Long run w/speed
5mi. Today the track was full of familiar summer folk that make their best appearances during the "school's out" break. Eileen Turrenne was going well, somewhat dismayed that the workouts were predominately short intervals. Chiara, Charlotte, Walter and Jon were all there. Here's how it went. 1 mile warmup jog 100m w/100m recovery 200m w/100m … Continue reading School’s out…
2000 yards. It's such a stress relief to get in the pool at lunch and swim. Walter came with me, the summer camps have started again, so kids were everywhere. I also saw Dave Lill in the shower room, he was in good shape and I should've asked him for use of the pressure sprayer. … Continue reading Another nice sunny swim
This first event at Coral Cove park was a great upgrade on the Running Sports holiday weekend. We based our bikes on our cars as a transition, we had volunteers that helped with water, and timing the athletes. I swam with Austin and chose to ride my mountain bike so as not to be tempted … Continue reading StealthMan
4 mi. I couldn't stay for the cooldown, but the regular workout was good. It was a mix of long and short intervals, which I felt good doing. I ran behind Tom M. for the first one, then kept a good pace through all the other sprints to keep between 4-5th among the guys. 1 … Continue reading Some of each
2000 yards. John had off early from school today, so I picked him up with Walter in the car and we went to the pool. He got dressed to swim, but never went in the water, saying it was too cold. I did this workout, under a very hot sun. 8 Warmup Set (400y) 2 … Continue reading New guest appearance
8mi. I got there in time to catch Walter waiting for Dave Reback to circle the parking lot. We did a perky speed warmup followed by two quick bridge laps before Dave R. went his own pace and Walter and I discussed work and stuff. It was hot at the start, only a small breeze … Continue reading Hot again on the hills
