Outside on the roads this morning. The weather is finally starting to cooperate a little bit. I think only two cars passed me over the course of an hour ride. One of the nice things about riding through Boxford. Had an ok ride this morning, I was hoping to go a little faster than I…

Pond is heating up
Water temp at the pond was 75 degrees this morning. Double crossing with no wetsuit today. A little slower without the wetsuit but definitely a better workout. Did a 5 mile run afterward with Mike. Good to loosen up the legs. Overall felt pretty good after the long ride yesterday, I had expected to be a…
Sunday Ride
Another long Sunday ride down, and lots more to go! Felt good the entire ride today. Trying to stay at a steady pace, even when up in the front. Sometimes when I’m in the front I tend to start pushing too hard so I’ve been paying closer attention to the power meter to make sure…
Back in the pond!
Finally back in the pond, and I hope for the rest of the summer. So nice not have to turn every 25 yards. I wore my wetsuit this morning but it really wasn’t needed. Water temp at the beach was 70 degrees, although there were some reports of colder water by the dam, but who…
Two days of sun in a row!!!
Set the alarm a little bit later this morning and did a medium effort ride on the CompuTrainer. Tried to keep my heart rate between 145-155 and my cadence above 90 for the entire ride. It was a good ride to loosen up the legs again after the long run on Wednesday. I may switch…
The Sun – it finally came out!!!
Did my long run this morning in Danvers. It was not much fun, last night my sinuses were just killing me and I couldn’t fall asleep. Finally at about 2am I fall asleep for a couple of hours. Made it to the Y by 5:10 and off we went. Ran with Heidi this morning and…
60 Days….
As I’m writing this the little count down clock in the corner of my computer screen tells me that there is 60 days and 20 hours to go before the start of Ironman Lake Placid. I feel like my training so far has gone pretty well for the time that I have. Looking at the…
Rain, short slow run and swim
Rain again this morning, fortunately it held off until I got my very short run in. Woke up late this morning and didn’t get to the gym until 5:20. I was hoping to do a slow 5 mile run, but had to turn it into a slow 5K run so I could be back when…
Sunday long ride
Well, it wasn’t quite raining today, but it wanted to! It was really kind of a miserable day for a ride as the temperature was 48 degrees and only made it to 51. I felt comfortable the entire ride, but never really felt like I could get my legs loose and comfortable. Just one of…
