another cold ride

like ghosts in the night

Always fun trying to take pictures without any light. Later in the year these workouts will be more in the daylight and the shots will be more obviously about individual people, less about the general craziness of running after dark.

morning swim

Haven't yet had a chance to go through all the shots from this morning's cold swim practice, but here's one for now.

Saturday morning indoor spin

A cold Saturday saw the sensible people riding indoors.

Indoor Spin

I've uploaded a few more pictures here to share with the group. These are too grainy/ out of focus for the book, but I hope they captured the moment.   

During the spin, I noticed some nursing their injuries/problem areas.  (Laurie is icing her shoulder & hip in the picture above.) For me, injury is a very real part of training for an Ironman. I was at Performance Wellness weekly last time around, and I always ran into another teammate there.  It would be interesting to include a page with the human body with callouts to injuries and names.
