5 mi. This year I'm not registered in the Loggerhead Triathlon. A few notable locals, Erica, John Reback, Karen Paxton, Robert Dabrowski, they aren't racing it this year, either. Only a few guys doing the race came to track this morning. As a result, I was running up front with Aldo for my intervals. 1 mi … Continue reading Track anyway

3/8mi swim/13mi bike/5k run - First time back in the last 3 years! I checked my bike in Friday night as did Jessica, that was a fail. A HUGE storm came within 20 minutes, blew the racks over and subjected my well-cared for bike to "out back behind the shed" type of treatment. I knew … Continue reading Loggerhead Triathlon 2015
18mi. John's longest run ever fit perfectly on his 18th birthday. As a follow up on last year's 17 miler (also his idea) today we ran early to get to Loggerhead triathlon in time to see our friends race.Walter and Dave were supposed to start with us at 4:10am in Carlin Park, only Walter was … Continue reading John’s 18 miler
I've done this race ight times in twelve years, not verified, but that's what I think I have in my bag of experiences going into this year's "World Championships of Jupiter." Many of those years were spent chasing Rick Opton down on the bike, trying to transition faster than him to outrun him in a … Continue reading Loggerhead Triathlon 2012
8mi. With Chiara and Walter both letting me know they wouldn't be at the bridge, I assumed I'd be solo huffing it up and down the hill. When I arrived, it was Paul and I, he had already completed a lap of warmup. I ran my first one with him. He's leaving for London in … Continue reading Just when you think you’re alone…

We met at 8am to swim the full course of 3/8 mi. The water was warm, calm and clear. I finished the swim in 10:20, probably behind … Continue reading Phony Loggerhead
3/8mi, 13mi, 5k This was a good outing, the threat of a tropical storm interfering with the race faded as the race date drew closer. The pre-race show Friday night was in its usual cramped Jupiter Resort ballroom. I got a neat Tri Running Sports hat from Linda to wear on the run - very … Continue reading Loggerhead Triathlon ’11
20mi. I met Adrienne at her home in San Michele, pumped up my tire and joined in the group of seven riding this am. Lanae Barnes, Lilia, Erica, Teresa and two guys I don't know went thru PGA and Mirasol to total 20 miles at a 20-22mph pace. Good ride, and I arrive home quickly … Continue reading 20 bonus mile ride
4 mi. I didn't do the cool down because I rode 20 with the girl group and didn't want to start out late. Low attendance, maybe for Loggerhead tapering, who knows? It was hot and still, I ran very conservatively slow. Here's the workout from Paul, who is heading to London to watch his daughter … Continue reading Pre race spin around
mini tri. It was raining at home, dry at the TRS store as I drove by, and pouring on A1A. I found doused Charlotte first, she was turning around and heading back to her car and home. Then Walter, who pressed on to finish 16 in the now cool air. The training tri was supposed … Continue reading Stealthman 2
