Well, today marks the official beginning of my workouts with TriLife, the NYC based triathlon training team. So far (one day) the experience has been regimented, clear, and promises to be extremely grueling and exciting. We have our first training camp in New Paltz at the end of October, which should be a lot of fun, but it looks like there will be no trick or treating this year.

Mondays are always active recovery days, which means 30 minutes of doing Yoga, Pilates, Core Strength or “weak link” drills. The latter refers to drilling things that you are particularly weak on, such as extension or trunk rotation in your swim stroke, running cadence, or weak leg spinning drills on your bike.

I’ve opted for thirty minutes of calisthenics: 100 pushups, 18 pullups, 100 situps, and 30 isometric single-leg squats.
