Yesterday Felipe from Breakaway Training threw us a curve ball and had us do a 20K TT. The workout was scheduled to be 15 minute easy run, 20k TT(bike), 15 minute easy run.
As I set out on the first run I felt really good. It was a good warm up for the pain I was […]
We really do have it GREAT here in San Diego! My brick today was fantastic. The brick consisted of a 2 hour ride and a 30 minute run. Since my next race is the San Diego International Triathlon I decided to ride the bike course. The hills on that course kill me every year. This […]
This morning Danny and I went to Fiesta Island for a Sunday-morning brick workout. The workout totals were 6 big loops on the bike and 30 minutes of running. The breakdown was 3 big loops on the bike in zone 3, 15 minutes run in zone 2, 2 loops on the bike in zone 3, […]
Sunday I did a group brick workout at Fiesta Island with Breakaway Training. The workout consisted of two sets, 12.4 miles of heavy gears on the bike followed by a 15-minute run. The cycling part was tough. Normally when we are cycling we try to keep our cadence high. This reduces the fatigue in the […]
Today was one of those days I wish I could do-over, with respect to training. I went way too hard and as a result I didn’t do as well as I had hoped and I ended up way more fatigued than usual. Training in a group environment makes it hard sometimes to focus on doing […]
Yesterday, Sunday, was another FANTASTIC brick workout with Breakaway Training. I think the Sunday bricks are my favorite of all the group workouts. We had a special guest visit from Ryan Denner and 4-time Ironman finisher David Wilcox as well. The morning started off HOT. The tempertaures rose quickly after the clouds broke around 8:30am
Fortunatly […]

The track workout was tough. The main set was:
(400m […]
Today we had a group swim workout which we usually have about once a month. The workout itself was surprisingly short. I think it was about 1600m. After the swim I took a quick dip in the hot tub and changed into my running gear.
The run workout was easy today. 1 hour. The route varied […]
From left to right. Luke… well I guess he’s “Coach Luke”, Coach Felipe, and Ramon all hangin out after the brick workout today contemplating ordering El Champion Burrito. Felipe polished off the MASSIVE burrito no problem and Ramon wasn’t far behind him. Luke and I chose meals that were portioned more appropriately.
Today we did the […]
