Dr. B - on the biking there is no exaggeration - he and I have been doing an 85-100 every Sunday, as well as several high speed 30-40 on other days in addition to the standard swimming ,running and everything else. You would not believe how big fitness is in Palm Beach and Ft Lauderdale. There are rides whenever you want to do them, and spinning everywhere, multiple Masters Swimming groups, Road Runners, Bike Clubs, the Hammerheads ( ocean swimming) etc all with coaching and excellent facilities. Road Runners uses the track at Yankee Stadium, and Gold Coast Masters uses the Hall of Fame Pool on Lauderdale Beach. The exercise traffic is so heavy they have bike warnings everywhere, signs with generators along the roads explaining the State laws about running and cycling in the bike lanes ( which are everywhere), and there are constant triatlehlons, duathelons, biathelons, running events, ocean swim races, and Masters meets. My wife is even in to it and my kids. She did her run at 5:00 this morning so she would be done in time to go do a ride in the dark ( she likes to ride in the dark for some reason). You can't even get into an Ironman if you do not sign up in the first three days, and every event down here is jammed. The only way I got into Key West next year's swim around the island is that I train with the guy who runs it. Unbeliveable what is happeneing out there. In our group, this has always been the example. Michael J.
