2000 yds. Having relied upon the new TriFaster app to generate a workout for me, I went through the suggested warmup - main set - cooldown. i completely noticed a difference swimming with time and distance as a factor! I was going along faster trying to "earn" more of a rest in between each intervals. … Continue reading The new app works!

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.
2200 yards. Carolyn gave me a workout to follow from the TriFaster iPhone app, which I purchased myself as a result. I found it very interesting to be following a plan vs just slapping 2000 yards of self-imposed boredom. Here's the workout... Warmup Set (400m) 4 x [4 x 25 @ 0:35] Main Set (1400m) … Continue reading With a purpose!
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.
4.5mi. I did the full mile warmup but only half of the cooldown today. We had 27 people running today, Scott and Carolyn rode there, Dave Reback brought his new UPS van full of daughters, it was good, cool 71 degree weather with a breeze. Here are the intervals... 2 x 100m striders, 100m recovery … Continue reading Last week, 400s, this time 800s.
33mi. Today was supposed to be an exposure or re-exposure to cycling for Chiara, Stanton and Walter. Two down from that count saw Charlotte, Stanton and I leaving Jupiter at just after 7am for Bridge Rd in Tequesta. I had a sleeveless shirt on, which felt comfortable. Foolishly, I allowed my "less than bright" front … Continue reading Plink!
4 mi. Welcome back, Charlotte! She came and did the whole track ordeal - first time in awhile. My right lower calf area was tight and still hurt, so I was never in the front pack, always in the middle or the rear group. It was very refreshing to have Charlotte to speak with, I … Continue reading Windy & Cool track
13.1 What a cold and windy day we had for this race! I had been sent to Paris for our Euro Expo, an annual conference we hold for our franchisees. This year's version was held at Disneyland Paris, formerly known as EuroDisney. We stayed at the Newport Bay Club, one of Disney's resorts. I was … Continue reading Semi Marathon de Paris
2000 yds. Today was a windy and rainy forecast, I didn't feel like going in the pool, but I was so close (I was already doing other things in that neighborhood) I had to. As usual, opting for exercise vs. nothing was a good choice. I did all freestyle, some of the laps felt nice … Continue reading Swim in the rain? YES!
In November, I heard the concerns and comments. "Dave, you need some meat on those bones..." "You're losing too much weight!" Now, after I've parted with my "skinny down 8 lbs" look and with it - much of my sharpness in cycling and swimming, it's time to go back into regular training. I had run … Continue reading Time to get back to work
