It’s funny, coach pulled up next to me during bike practice today and asked if I’ve been drinking.. for a quick moment I wondered what I did last night.. and what made him ask? ..meanwhile, he was referring to my water bottles to make sure I was hydrating during the ride.
When thieves stole his beloved commuter bike on a busy street in broad daylight, PATRICK SYMMES snapped—and set out on a cross-country plunge into the heart of America’s bike-crime underbelly. What he saw will rattle your frame.
“In America’s rough streets, there are four forms of currency—cash, sex, drugs, and bicycles. Of those, only one is routinely left outside unattended.” (more)
..spending an hour in the pool doing drills, putting 52 miles on my bike, and running 6 miles is an awesome way to start a beautiful Spring day in January!
I rode my bike from the upper east side to Evan’s house today.. this is an exact GPS export of my trek - a cold but fun ride at a medium pace.. and such an awesome treat to be greeted by Natalie and their super cute son, Aidan. We’re rocking out in Evan’s man cave with his 120” projection screen.. it’s always so great to spend time with him and I’ll hop back on the bike in the morning for the return trip.
..third time getting a flat while riding through the Bronx - you’d think I would learn my lesson by now.
You would normally find 2 to 20 feet of beach in front of the house depending on the tide.. Army Corp has been pumping sand since October.. it’s gotta be 250 feet to the water now.. this is such a bizarre and really cool sight.
A great morning, ran the Ted Corbitt 15K in Central Park, my first NYRR race in 25 years since running 5K’s with my Dad as a kid.. who says I’m getting old? my pace was better than ever, 8:19/mile.. I’m real happy with that and look forward to seeing more improvement this winter.
A phenomenal weekend in New Paltz with the team.. running, pulling tires, cycling, and some really fun climbing. It was so good to spend time with my teammates.. such an amazing group of people, led by the very best coaches.. an all around incredible experience. **a bunch of these cool shots were taken with a GoPro camera mounted under my bike seat..
I’m liking my improved running pace.. 2+ loops of Central Park’s rolling hills, 14.2 miles in 1 hour, 59 minutes. And that marks the end of our 7th week of Ironman training.. only 36 to go..
..my favorite photo at the marathon today. It was really cool to be cheering for so many friends that kicked ass out there! Click the shot for lots more photos.
..an awesome Saturday, in the pool at 6am, then bike practice til 1:30pm. I contemplated an ice bath afterward though I stretched it out and ended up feeling real good for my 10 mile run this morning.
Good luck to Rose, Lauren, Claire, Krissy, Dan, Anne, Josh, Gargi, Haggai, Abby, Chris, and Michelle. I have my iPhone setup to track all of you throughout the day and can’t wait to be out there to cheer for you!!
