At a Glance Two weeks after a breakthrough at 70.3 Muncie, I raced IRONMAN 70.3 Steelhead in Benton Harbor.

At a Glance With my 2017 Boston qualifier already banked, I downgraded to the half at the NJ Marathon and used it as a hard solo effort on tired legs — running 1:19:50 for 10th to cap a 22-hour training week before triathlon season. HIGHLIGHTS Result: 1:19:50, 10th place Opened at 5:45, hit 5K in…

At a Glance Race two of the Nassau Run Series — the Lido Beach 4-miler — run on a flat, windy course. A no-frills training race, with the 5-mile Cedar Creek Park event up next on March 23rd. Windy and flat. Not my favorite race conditions, but it’s always good to get a workout in….
At a Glance Returning to the NYRR Scotland 10K — my first-ever 10K back in 2011 — I used two years of Central Park course knowledge to pace smartly through the rolling hills and run a PR of 36:28. HIGHLIGHTS Result: new PR of 36:28 on the clockwise Central Park loop Mile splits: 5:52.9, 5:48.7,…
