I wish...

I was better at this blogging thing. Time just gets away from me and all of a sudden it is 2 months later and I haven't written one thing.

Things for the Triathlon are going well. I have amended my time to 1 hour and 30 minutes although that will be stretching it for me - I am super slow on the bike. Here is what I have done for the last week.

Tuesday, May 18th
Am swim. Instead of the warm-up I went ahead and did a timed 500 yards. It took about 13 minutes and I did 2/3 of the way freestyle. Not bad. Then I did another 750 yards and called it a morning.

PM Kettlebells. We did upwards of 420 snatches in an hour. It was hard.

Wednesday, May 19th
AM strength Training w/ Marc. We did a circuit that included banded pushups, banded triceps, and heavy KB rows.

Afternoon Ride. We rode our 10 mile loop in 56 minutes.

Thursday, May 20th
AM Cardio. I did my 2 mile sprint in 19 minutes, working a little bit on level 7.0

PM Kettlebells. We did 2 big circuits: #1 - Judo Chops and Deadlifts, 5 reps for 10 rounds. I used a 16 Kg for the Judo's and an 88 lb. for the DL's. #2 - C&P and Stiff Leg DL's, same set/rep scheme. I used the 16 Kg and the 88 Kg. Oh yeah and for the warm-up I did 50 swings w/ the 106 lb and 50 with a 16 Kg.

Friday, May 21st
AM Cardio. 2 Mile sprint in 18:45 - I ran in 2 minute intervals on 6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 6.5, 6.0 then back up and down.

AM Strength Training. We punked out this morning and did 30 minutes of easy band squats and then 30 minutes of stretching

Saturday, May 22nd
AM Kettlebells. We did the double front raise, snatch, snatch press combo for 5 sets of 6 reps each, Bottoms up presses for 4 sets of 5 and some more presses to equal an hour.

Afternoon Bike Ride. My quads were so tired but I pushed hard to try to get my time down. we did the 10 mile loop in 54 minutes this time.

Sunday, May 23rd
I thought I needed some run time outside on the pavement. I ended up running just under 3 miles in about 30 minutes and finishing off with about 2.4 miles extra in walking. I will do this again next week to see if my time or distance improves.

Monday, May 24th
I just did strength training this morning. We did squats w/ 95 lbs. for a set of 25, 50 and 100. Then we did bench press with the mini bands doubled for 10 sets of 5 reps - fast.
