Long day...
I did some light weight lifting at lunch:
- Squats 12/3/135
- One Arm Rows 12/3/45
- Shoulder Dumb Bell Presses 12/3/50
- Front Shoulder Raises 12/2/12
- Side Shoulder Raises 12/2/10
- Rear Shoulder Raises 12/2/12
- Leg Curls 12/3/200
- Incline Bench Press 12/3/95
- Leg Extensions 12/3/90
After work, I took the new bike to the shop for a tune up. Free in the first month. I have to go back to Santa Fe to get it back.
From there on to Albuquerque. I warmed up in the pool at 8 and we started at 9 for Tri Team swimming. I was slow but not altogether bad. I am bending me knees (creating drag), not breathing enough for a Tri (I was told that I was breathing for more of a sprint type race. A breath every three strokes alternating between left and right). For the longer 500m Tri with more aerobic activity after the swim, I need to breathe more. It was suggested that breathe on every right-hand stroke. This worked okay but I started to hyperventilate.
Oh, and I drag my left hand through the water on the upstroke creating drag.
What a drag. But practice makes perfect. We pyramid trained (50m rest 100m rest 200m rest 300m rest 200m rest 100m rest 50m). This killed me. By now it was 10pm and I was up since 5:30am and still had a hundred mile drive home.
I know, WHINER!
All in all a good but long day.
Love and sweat,
Dale
