I've driven over the The corrals were organized and not overcrowded, I saw plenty of bathrooms and places to eat and … Continue reading NYC Marathon 2013 ~ The Race

1 hr - Ran the River route again, but this time took new field support rep and room mate Andrew Collins. We took a path trying to retrace the way I came home the other day. We ran about 9 min miles was my guess. Andrew has done some adventure style races and mud runs, … Continue reading The river revisted
Training Group in the Northern Palm Beach area focusing on the Palm Beach Half Marathon - Dec. 8th, 2013
4 mi. I arrived and the group had just begun warming up. It was a still morning, the benefits of October weather still haven't arrived. But they will. Days from now I'll be writing about cooler weather, breezes and even less humidity. Maybe that's from Australia. Track is supposed to awaken the fast twitch side … Continue reading Stretching things a bit
2000 yards. Not much memorable about swimming mostly alone in the pool today. The stalwart lady who's always there was doing laps in the first lane. A big muscle guy did a few minutes of swimming in the center lane. I chose to swim where I normally do, the outer lane with two strips and … Continue reading You know this

This training for North Face Endurance Challenge has me out in the longest mileage weeks for the warmest two months of the year. … Continue reading Start it up again
7.5 mi. It has been a very long time, years, since I did a Blue Heron bridge run completely alone. Maybe a windy, rainy day before a hurricane? Today wasn't looking as if I'd be alone, Megan said she was coming via text and then changed her mind shortly thereafter. John Reback came first, once … Continue reading Almost alone
2.4 mi swim/112 mi bike/26 mi run. For every oval sticker on the back of a car, for every red logo tattoo on the back of a calf muscle, there's a story. These are things I recall from yesterday, only 12 hours from my finish. Instead of crafting the thoughts into a chronological listing - … Continue reading Ironman Switzerland 2013
100 mi ride/3 mi run A 6:00am meetup means we started pedaling around 6:15. This is my thrid 100 mile ride of the year. We had a group of Barry and Lisa Reiss, Sal and Suzanne, Erica, Erin and Izzy. We rode in shifting winds up the wet road to the lighthouse bridge. Barry and … Continue reading Third century production
1/2 IM distance. I had a big day planned, this is a run through of what long-course tri prep entails. I've done this race before, so I know the routine. As my fourth 1/2IM, I expect to not leave everything out on the bike course so I can run well. It could be warm like … Continue reading Motivation Man 1/2 IM
