Today's Workout

Up at 4:30 AM, temperature 37 degrees. Yes, it is April.

The usual animal kingdom care then to my abs (an assortment of 390 crunches, 200 situps). Off to the gym for upper body weights, I wish I had a little more time to squeeze this in during the week.

Into the pool at 6 AM for a 60 minute swim. 500 warmup. 3 x 150 (50 drill, 50 swim, 50 drill)--I opted for the one arm drills today. Always looking to work on weak side breathing. 3 x 300, first 300 with the pull buoy and paddles, the remaining two were zone 3 Ironman pace. I hated this part of the workout, too tiring. 12 x 50 practicing 3-2 breathing. That is coming along but I don't want to see any video of my breathing on the right side--pretty sure that is ugly. 100 warm down. Total on the day: 2,550 meters.......just another 1500 and I'm golden for the Ironman.

Tomorrow, a bike and run.
