Calm before the storm. Training in Florida this weekend
Quote | Reply
Accepting the fact that I will not be able to train on Sunday, I change things up a bit and rode and ran this morning. I live in Safety Harbor, outside of Tampa, and I was up early on the Suncoast trail. I had the trail to myself for the first 45 minutes, and got in my first 30 miles before sunrise. I will ride again tomorrow and probably take Sunday off.

I saw a couple of fuel delivery trucks heading north on the Suncoast escorted by the Florida highway patrol. It should be an interesting weekend. Be safe.

I trained right through Harvey here in Houston. Granted I'm just a runner now so I didn't have to worry about bike and swim. Still I managed 88 miles over 8 the days, including 36 or so miles over the first three days when the significant rains were in the area. This includes also spending lots of time that week helping friends and family with their cleanup efforts.

EDIT: Btw, only one of my runs was on a treadmill - a 16 mile run on the day the storm hit when the winds were too high to be outside and safe. The other days were mostly just very wet with milder winds.

I'm racing in Chatt this weekend. Flight home is supposed to be Monday. That's not happening and I have no idea when I will be able to get home to south Florida. Supposed to start IM training for IMFL after this race.

Be safe everyone.

Your race will definitely be affected.

I'm in Tampa too.
Pool is closed for the next 4-5 days so I'll be doing stretch cords.
I'll do some SS bike and run tomorrow. Missing a few days is no big deal. I'll use it as some recovery.
