29mi. Sunday's ride was to Bridge Rd and back. Normally, a nice outing, today was amped up because of S SE winds of 10-12 mph. Going there myself, Chiara, Stanton Charlotte and Walter kept a good 21+ pace. Coming back was a wind tunnel exercise. I tried to use the aero position and pull the … Continue reading Mem. Weekend Ride #2

6.5 mi What a surprise, I finished 6.5 of 7 miles and left limping. I arrived alone, ran a mile in the parking lot and felt nothing adverse. Then I ran bridge lap #1 alone, too. I encountered a loudmouth drunk coming down the hill, so when I saw Adrienne and Lisa Reiss staring, I … Continue reading Stung once more
6 mi. Even though I ran my slowest possible Blue Heron Bridge laps ever today, it was good that I covered all the miles and had no ill effects from the recovering left leg. I got there and did not do the warmup mile or the cool down mile. I'd say without an accurate count … Continue reading It counts.
33 miles. Another ride up the Jupiter Island stretch, this time with others. I started with the 6:30am group, went most of he way up with them, staying to talk with Adrienne Papa for the last 3 miles heading north. The way back was with a new rider to the group named Chris, Bob who … Continue reading This again?
19 miles. The time seems to be longer than just about an hour, and at today's 16.1 mph average pace, it was. I think about all sorts of things, it's so dark and as a result, there's no scenery, so I find an idea and I chase it. Work, training, swimming, it's all fair to … Continue reading Riding and daydreaming
20mi. When I ride the tri bike, sleek and slender thing that it is, I use the aero bars as often as possible to keep my head out of the wind. On the mountain bike, no such luck! I did my usual loop today, a wind of 18 mph from the ESE was there to … Continue reading Notice the difference.
19mi. It's never so calm that you can ride in any direction and feel like there's no wind. Except for this morning! It rained last night, so I didn't fill up my tires to 140psi 'til the early am hours. I used the new PGA-Mirasol route and improved the average speed for today to 21.7mph. … Continue reading A rare calm.
39 mi. It's good for me to keep track of the workouts and mileage, I guess I should look back now and again to see what I did that worked. This ride was from Carolyn's house in North Palm Beach to Bridge Rd, Hobe Sound and back. Our average speed was below 16mph, it was … Continue reading More time in the saddle
20 mi. When I see a forecast, I'm not really looking for the temperature as much as the wind speed and direction. 10mph S SE means most of my ride around Singer Island will be exposed to the wind. It is seldom still. The aero wheels feel the side gusts, and obviously the head on … Continue reading Seldom still.
1 mi warmup + 2200m intervals + 3 steps. Tax day! Usually not an issue for me, except for this year, when for personal reasons I had to wait 'til the very end to get my federal return done. No problems here. But that's not the real tax - today I pulled a calf muscle … Continue reading Taxed more than ever.
