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...

Being on the Sidelines Doesn’t Mean You Can’t Have Fun
This has been a year of injuries. I've encountered silly little things like spraining my wrist to stubbing and breaking my toe. Because of that, I've had my share of being on the sidelines. But being on the sidelines doesn't mean you can't have fun! Signing up for races I...

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...

What is in Store for You?
My last triathlon was in September in the Hamptons. It was an Olympic distance triathlon and I wanted to be able to do well but I didn't. I had lots of obstacles that worked against me. But as I enter 2019, I know that I have some lofty goals and...
