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
7 mi. Talk about following habit - I ran the hills a day earlier this week and I throught the next day was Wednesday, I dated items wrong at work - messy! I asked John if he wanted to run the hill workout after work and before dinner - so we did. At 6pm, it's … Continue reading Off-beat bridge running
49 mi. I arrived at Loggerhead park, thinking the group would be waiting til it got light out to start. Wrong-O. Some familiar cars were there, but only Marty Frezza rolling around the parking lot on his bike. It was 61 degrees, maybe a chill too much for my arms, but I went short sleeved … Continue reading 50 the real way
2000 yards - Really for me, a Monday morning is a tiring place to do a solo workout. And swim? not a fav activity. I have conditioned myself to use the time underwater for sorting of the mental debris, that works. This day, I became knotted in the ridiculousness of getting the slick as heck racing goggles … Continue reading The goggles suck out my eyeballs
6mi My hotel is located right near the Swan River. This puts me in a perfect place early in the morning to push out a great 6+ mile run and take some photos of Perth City. I went over the bridge first, putting me on the other side of the river with great views of … Continue reading Swan River, Perth, Australia
The last time I ran a marathon in Miami, it was 2004. ING wasn't a sponsor. The race was maybe slightly larger than Palm Beach's marathon. That means 600-800 marathon runners, and 2500 half marathoners. The rain blew in at mile 16 that year, yielding some crazy conditions that included sidewards rain and wind squalls … Continue reading ING Miami Marathon
Maybe 5-6 miles spent rambling around Riverwalk outside of the main restaurant and tourist area was enough of a jaunt for today. We had the trade show yesterday, again today, but getting out in 37 degree weather like yesterday was a must! And this time Jessica could join in, we each did solo runs yesterday. … Continue reading San Antonio again!
26+ mi. I can say that any thought of Dave Masterson doing the Disney Marathon ever again was a surprise. In 2007, I did the Goofy Challenge. I thought the course was mostly back roads and service alleys, with too few of the miles spent in the parks where the supposed "fun" should be. This … Continue reading The *Magic* of the long run.
Spin class for 3+ hours? That was Teresa's great idea for our storm-scuttled Sunday morning. She opened up KrankIT spin studio and twenty of us showed up at 5:30am to ride indoors and air conditioned instead of outdoors, wet and wind-blown. We watched Hangover Two, that took most of two hours, then pedaled through an … Continue reading 184 minutes
