2000 yards I didn't do the kicking because I was too lazy to get to the other side to fish through the bin for loner fins. I did the workout below and felt ok, no breakthroughs or hindrances. Warmup Set (400y) 2 x [50 easy @ 1:20, 100 moderate @ 2:25, 50 easy @ 1:20] … Continue reading More freestyle laps

5mi. The run before Loggerhead tri for most athletes is tapered. Jokingly, I heard people referring to it as the "World Championships of Jupiter." I had all intents of running fast since my leg has done considerable healing and it does not feel any different than the uninjured one. I had a good run, we … Continue reading Back at track
20 mi. I spun a 19 mph average for the Singer Island circle... going into an 18 mph sustained wind from the east had me slugging at 16, 17, 18 mph up Northlake and over the bridge. Coming home with the wind, I was going an easy 23-25 mph. I finished one water bottle on … Continue reading Wind-ee!
8mi. When I leave the house at 4:40am, it's 83 degrees. When I get to the bridge, it's 88 degrees? My car is lying to me! I wanted a breeze, but not this much - theres a direct wind from the East at 17 mph. Going up is tough, coming down into the wind is … Continue reading Add it up, it’s hot!
36mi. Our intent was to do a 50 mile ride... strong SE winds had everyone reconsidering that decision right after we arrived at Loggerhead park to start. Stanton, Charlotte, Chiara, Adrianna and a new rider Cole made up our group. Adrianna made the "I'm back but out of cycling shape claim", which lasted for about … Continue reading Pressed.
2000 yards. New goggles that don't squeeze my eyeballs out! And a workout with some kicks, with which I cheat and use fins. Warmup Set (200y) 4 x 50 [25 build/25 easy] @ 0:10 rest Main Set (1400y) 7 x [50 easy @ 1:35, 50 moderate @ 1:25, 50 mod-hard @ 1:15, 50 hard @ … Continue reading School’s still out.
5mi. This was a labored workout from the beginning. Having just panted thru the warmup, I definitely felt my left calf was going to have a problem from the first 300m interval. It didn't pop, but it wasn't strong enough to support my going much faster than I did. I ran the warmup and really … Continue reading Not the right stuff.
8 mi. An eventful bridge run started alone at 4:55am. There was no breeze, I thought I should ride on days like this! I did my first four miles on the bridge alone, seeing only Adrienne and Angie on the sidewalk after 3 laps. To start lap 5, Gary, Eileen and Atilla were beginning their … Continue reading The sky is falling. Not.
13 mi. Today was the Palm Beach County Ocean Mile Swim - great, but I ran instead looking to strengthen my legs and lungs in the mid summer heat. I ran 3 with Charlotte before the group, then the usual 10 with the Running Sports Group at 6am. I missed the start due to a … Continue reading This feels normal again
20 mi My gold star Tuesday came about because I didn't want to wake up early again Wednesday morning. I came back from work and decided to do the Singer Island loop. I averaged 20.4, not bad considering traffic and completely stopping at some lights, which hardly ever happens on a 5am start. I brought … Continue reading TT to round it out
