62 mi ride, 5 mi run. Another week of getting to the bunker before 5am, this time no buckets of rain from the sky. I had a notion of making the nutrition element of the workout the main focus. What would I eat and drink that could emulate how I should feel in a month. … Continue reading The bricks that work

59 mi ride/5 mi run These brick workouts on beautiful days are great. I know step #1 is the Motivation Man Triathlon in 3 weeks, so I have to be used to the "cycle, hop off, run fast in the heat" reality. I started with Suzanne and Sal just after 5:15am, we rode with headlights … Continue reading Early test for half the marbles
60mi ride/6mi run Starting at 6am were Lisa Reiss, Lanae, Scott Simpson and I. We were caught by Teresa and Joe by the RR tracks near Port Salerno. I had my Nite Rider helmet light and a few flashers since our first 45-60 minutes were in the dark. Scott pulls well, I followed more than … Continue reading Bricks are tough recovery!

Then spend 10 minutes running to the pier, 10 minutes back and ride with a fast group. I decided it would be learning for … Continue reading The A game ride
58mi. Today I met Scott on his "solo" ride to the tiki hut and back. He claims to have been doing two rides per week on the streets, and three spin classes per week at LA Fitness in the mornings. It's working, he was very prepared and strong on this ride. I felt labored on … Continue reading Early again
