5 mi. Immediately following the Loggerhead tri race, some guessed that today could be a mile for time episode. It was still and humid, and probably 20+ attendees this morning. We started slow, mixed in several 500m intervals with differing concentrations of speed, then Paul gave us the timed mile to complete. Maybe it was … Continue reading “Will he, won’t he?”

2000 yards. Broken up into short 50s and 100s, today's workout was good to discover keeping my head down and hydro-dynamically out of the way. I watch others and want to keep the side swiveling motion going, as well as any effort to contribute with a kick. It helps! Warmup Set (300y) 4 x 75 … Continue reading More pull than kicking

20 mi. I spun a 19 mph average for the Singer Island circle... going into an 18 mph sustained wind from the east had me slugging at 16, 17, 18 mph up Northlake and over the bridge. Coming home with the wind, I was going an easy 23-25 mph. I finished one water bottle on … Continue reading Wind-ee!
36mi. Our intent was to do a 50 mile ride... strong SE winds had everyone reconsidering that decision right after we arrived at Loggerhead park to start. Stanton, Charlotte, Chiara, Adrianna and a new rider Cole made up our group. Adrianna made the "I'm back but out of cycling shape claim", which lasted for about … Continue reading Pressed.

2000 yds I keep doing these Tri Faster workouts iPhone app workouts and emailing them to myself in hopes of putting them on the blog, but there's a disconnect in the mailing process that keeps them from getting back to me. Yes, the IT guy is having problems sending reliable emails to himself! Here's what … Continue reading Missing swims?
30mi. Having just returned from Colorado and Utah where little structured activity occurred, I went riding to Bridge Rd and back with Chiara and Walter. We kept a good pace 22+ going there, then got subjected to the wind coming home. I looked to keep my speed while pulling over 20mph, but I saw some … Continue reading Spin the wind after a layoff
