Team Galloway Long Island set EventPower LI's Riverhead Rocks as a "suggested" race for 2019. The timing was perfect. We scheduled the Bridgehampton Half Marathon in May as our goal race, so getting in the 10 miles at the end of March worked out well for us. Four of the...

My coach called for an hour of hills on Zwift today. She didn't specify what she wanted me to do, so I chose the Zwift Tour: Fire and Ice. It had 3,398 feet of climbing and I thought, "perfect." I went on my CompuTrainer, put on my Pearl Izumi cycling...
