Wrapped up this weekend with a 91 mile 5 hour ride. The longest ride of the year and the most hours training so far for a week. This week I put in 14 hours and 35 minutes of training. I think most of that big jump has come because I’m now swimming doubles at the…

Whatever happened to easy Friday?
I was looking forward to a nice swim at the pond and a slow jog afterward. What I got was Jan kicking my ass across the pond for two crossings. One of these days I will remember to wear my watch, I’m pretty sure we are making a one way crossing in 15 minutes. I had hoped…
Great sunrise today
Well, the plan was to swim at the pond and then go for an easy bike ride. Only part of the plan worked out. George never showed up to swim and there was no one else there until almost 5:45 and that was a little too late for me to get in a crossing and bike. Mark M. showed up…
Missed the sunrise by minutes!!
Did my long run from the pond this morning. Brought my camera along to take a few photos of the sunrise. Didn’t end up getting one because it seemed cloudy and didn’t look like the sun was going to show. Headed out on the run and just as I crest the first hill, there is…
Tuesday Time Trial
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…
