Today was the last of the 6 hour rides. Now the taper begins, not that next week will be a short ride, still 4 hours. It was good to get another century ride in today. This ride was a solo ride because I’m visiting my family in NY. That was probably a good thing because there…

Brick Workout
Haven’t done many brick workouts. Well, I haven’t done many bike to run brick workouts. I’ve been doing mostly swim to run bricks, which are much easier. The ride was on the easier side today, usually my thursday rides are a bit slower as I try to give my legs a break from the harder…
Swim and Run morning
Got to the pond at 4:45 this morning for a double crossing. The water is starting to warm up and make it a little uncomfortable to be in a wetsuit. I could still feel the cold water with my finger tips when I pulled through the water though. The next few days are going to…
Tuesday morning TT
Went out for my tuesday morning 20 mile time trial this morning. I wasn’t sure what to expect after the long ride and run over the weekend. I did take it easy yesterday and just swam 2.5 miles to give my legs a bit of a rest. I really wanted to make sure that I…
IMLP Training Weekend
This past weekend we headed up to Lake Placid to ride the course and do some training. Lake Placid is quite a drive from here in MA. The car GPS says 5 hours, but with the stops for lunch and the ferry, it is longer. I did like going the way we went up through NH…
Mirror Lake Swimming
We are up here in Lake Placid, NY for the training weekend. Long drive from MA in the pouring rain, but not too bad. At around 4:30 after we put all our stuff in the rooms we headed down to Mirror lake for a swim. The first thing you notice is that they have lane…
No long run this Wednesday
Heading to Lake Placid this weekend and will be doing a long run over the weekend so today was just a swim and short run. I was going to do a double but ended up taking pictures of the pond for about 20 minutes so just did a single crossing instead. Then ran 5 miles…
Legs still sore
My legs are still a little sore from the half-ironman this past weekend so my ride wasn’t as hard as I was planning for it to be. Still it was a good ride, started out slow and rode the first half the ride in a gear less than I really wanted to be in. That…
Back to training for IMLP
Went to the pond with the idea of doing a double this morning. Water temp was 72 and I was cold after 1 crossing without the wetsuit, so instead of freezing myself I cut that short and headed out for a little bit longer run than I planned. I had intended to only run 5,…
Patriot Half Ironman Review
Saturday morning was the Patriot Half-Ironman. It’s a good warmup race and a good point to figure out where I am with my training for the Ironman. Learned plenty of things from this race. Hopefully I will be able to correct them for Ironman. The Swim I was in the last wave for the swim,…
