Intervals in central park at 5:45 in the morning, baby! Nothing gets you ready for the day like sucking air while the rest of the world is sleeping. It had just rained this morning, and it was already 50+ degrees at 4:30 am. Perfect weather for a ride. I layered down for the first time [...]
Yoga baby! I followed the first 30 minutes of a yoga video I found downstairs in the TV room. It was great for me, an almost complete yoga novice, to get some detailed instruction on the basics. I found the instruction a welcome break from the normal routine, and felt energized and refreshed by the [...]
Today was supposed to be a 1:10 run, but I opted to the 1:30 cross training workout I missed on Friday, which I really think was a good choice. My 20 minutes on the rowing machine were significantly easier than the erg workouts I was doing over summer break, which was great to see. Then [...]
I traveled back to Portland, OR early this morning in order to see my family and watch my sister, a very talented athlete in her own right, play volleyball. Happily, her team whupped up on the other guys, so I got to see her victory in addition to my mad frequent flyer miles.
Of course, when [...]
Today was supposed to be a daily double, but I only got through one of the workouts. I did 1800 meters in the pool at 6:30 in the morning. It’s taking me about 45 minutes to get through it, thanks to the slow warm up and the drills – I’m looking to surpass my 30 [...]
Today was a challenging day simply in terms of energy levels. I got up at 4:30 to ride to central park and practice with my team. We started at 5:30, and it was purely a drills workout. We did straight line riding, pack riding, riding in circles (literally, to practice leaning vs. steering with the [...]
I got up at 5:30 for an early swim. I logged 1800 meters, and felt great. My main set was 100 kicking and 100 freestyle. I had never done that much kicking before in a set, and although it irritated my left hip at first, I ended up feeling great. When I got out of [...]
Today was a surprisingly difficult workout. I got up at 5:30, stretched and ate something, and was out the door right at 6. I did 4×10 min OAB, with 5 minutes of alternating squats and lunges – one minute squats, one minute lunges, etc. OAB means “out and back.” A ten minute OAB means you [...]
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 [...]
Did a bike ride before work this morning. Nothing, really, nothing beats getting outside when the day is young and the air is fresh, and the sun is rising.
