Trials in Tri: May 2009
http://trialsintri.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 22, 2009. Very, very close call today! If anyone isn't aware, the town of Newport, RI has a large tourism industry. I've learned over the last 3 years that cycling and tourists are not a good combination. I've had close calls before from people paying more attention to what they are doing while driving than looking at the sights. Anyway, today I came real close to eating someone's license plate for lunch. My weekday local evening rides may have to stop. Sunday, May 17, 2009. One of the proble...

Dorothy’s Training Blog. A record of my adventures in multisport. Posted December 2, 2008. My current swimming teacher said this evening that the improvement I’ve made since the summer is “incredible.” Woo-hoo! I’m still no great swimmer (by any means), but it’s nice to be improving. Tonight’s swim was 1800: 500 meters warm-up, 800 meters of various drills, and then a 50, 100, 150, and 200, working hard on the last 50 in each set. Laquo; Previous Post. 2 comments so far.

Dorothy’s Training Blog. A record of my adventures in multisport. Posted January 5, 2009. I got outside on the bike for the first time in 2009 today; the ride was okay — it was 30s and not windy which feels pretty comfortable — but my God am I out of shape. That’s what a few weeks off does to me, I suppose. My legs felt okay, but my HR was so high I don’t want to give the number. Too embarrassing. Swim class ». 2 comments so far. On January 5, 2009.

Dorothy’s Training Blog. A record of my adventures in multisport. Posted October 23, 2008. I had a good swim workout yesterday, more challenging than Tuesday’s. I swam 2400 meters, which is a new record for me. It took me a little over one hour. The workout was something like this (all free):. 500 on 12:30 (which gave me over a minute of rest). 200 on 4:30 (by this point I’m not getting a whole lot of rest at all). 8×25 on :45 (this was easy — I had at least 15 seconds rest each time). 4×50 on 1:15.

Trials in Tri: August 2009
http://trialsintri.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 16, 2009. Sprint triathlon goes horribly wrong. Of the races that I had put on my schedule this year, this race was the one I was really looking forward to this one. Its a sprint distance of .5 mile / 12 mile / 3 mile. Due to the town its held at, Barrington. RI the competition is actually really, really good. One of the local teams, Fuel Belt, races this as the owner and most of its members are local area residents. Note that one of the guys on the team is Todd Kenyon of TTBikeFit. The fi...

Saturday, March 28, 2009. First week of "real" riding complete. For the week, I ended up doing 5 rides for a grand total of 140.23 miles. Tuesday, March 24, 2009.

Trials in Tri: September 2009
http://trialsintri.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 19, 2009. Equipment review: Speedfil Hydration System. The first improvement in this area is the behind the seat bottle cage mounting system. When I first purchased a tri. Bike, I got one of these. The benefit of this system was that I could strap CO2 cartridges, inflators. The next system is the behind the seat fluid system by NeverReach. The final system that I found is the Speedfil. System by Inviscid Design. I ordered the system the week before my half ironman. And is comes with a...
