I did 1 hour on the treadmill, on an incline. Then 15 minutes yoga. I could only do 12,506 steps today, not great but I’m working my way back to my regular steps. My feet hurt!😫 Back at it tomorrow.

Quick open water swim before work. Focused on maintaining swim form and breathing cadence. Covered 2100 yds at my easy "race pace: of 2:15/100yds. This is fairly slow, since the goal is to exit the swim feeling great as I start the bike split.4

Today a 6km hike in 2 hours.
Not really a big challenge fitness-wise, but definitely not an easy walk. Constant up and down, alternating between tree roots, rocks and boulders of varying sizes (sometimes with ropes or chains to hold on to) and boggy areas (sometimes with planks strewn across).
Definitely would have loved to have longer legs for getting up and down those obstacles and across the boggy areas 😁 but beautiful landscapes.2 -
No deliberate exercise this morning... was out late with the better half and slept in this morning (got up at 6:30 instead of 5:30
)
Will be getting exercise after work by moving all the furniture out of one of the bedrooms... gonna pull the carpet and replace it with laminate flooring this weekend. This is the only room that I have not replaced the flooring in yet this year, so it will be nice to mark finished on this project.3 -
Bought a new Wahoo Tickr HRM that goes on the arm. I'm still debating if I like it. Loved how it felt. Not sure it's close to as accurate as the chest strap ones.
Did 6 X 500m rowing machine with 5 minute breaks. During the breaks did HIIT lifting again. Quick succession legs, chest, shoulders w/ no rest between sets. Sit back on the rower, get to actually rest around 90 seconds, rinse and repeat.
Tried to hold all under 2:00 pace, which would have been modest for me a few years ago. It was a huge challenge with the lifting today. Heat wasn't bad. Made it to 5 and barely missed on the 6th one. Only around 46 minutes total working time, around 650 calories burned. Wanted to really push today. Last two sets I thought my heart would beat out of my chest and I hit 180 HR, so that's good. The last rowing set, I hit mid 1:30s pace, then quit, started up, quit again and still almost made 2:00 pace. Ended up at a 2:00.1. Happy I didn't just quit outright.3 -
Rowed bow in the quad, around 8400m: Double loop upstream again, splitting the river by agreement with the university ski team. (It's lovely that they want to do this, this semester.) Had a couple folks in the quad who don't usually row in multi-person boats, one new from this year's learn-to-row class, but with my ultra-tall, solid, smooth metronome-like rower buddy M setting cadence in stroke.
BTW: I can't overstate how happy I am to be carrying my own share of the boat again!
(Quad = Probably around 100 pounds, +/-, 40' long, awkward. Four people carry. Various movements: Out of rack (which in this case is about shoulder height, boat guts up, which is unusual (most boats are guts down)); then carry it to slings outside the boathouse, lower to slings which are below waist. Next, we fiddle with foot placement (move the shoes/foot stretchers while the boat's in the slings. Then, from slings, lift overhead (guts down); then, to take it to the river, lower to shoulders to carry; then lift overhead again, swing down to the water. Put the oars in, dock side oars first, then outside.)
Rowers in boat is a choreographed thing, too. Once in, count down from stern when ready, move the boat along the dock; when clear of dock, river turn (back on one side, alternating with row on the other, following stroke rower to synchronize). Then bow (me) calls "Ready . . . row". We start with one half slide stroke, then go to full slide.
After, I walked 6.36 miles at 3.2mph moving average. Lunch at midpoint, finished the circuit, then 10' park machine pseudo strength training (2 circuits, easing back in after surgery hiatus). The odd bodyweight-ish machines look like this:
I think this is *not* very serious strength work, but it's easy to do while I'm there.😆 Better than nothing, eh? 😉5 -

Wow. That's quite a session!1 -
Tapering is underway. Just an easy 60 minute trail run today, about 5 hilly miles. Left hip felt fine.
Now I'm tracking my friend and training partner as she races Ironman Maryland today, her first full distance IM.
Following the live feed is both exciting as well as making me a bit nervous.5 -
Rowed 7,621m in bow of the double: We did a small repeat loop upstream so that the lone single out with us wasn't too far out on his own, especially since the wind direction was causing some chop and low rollers. Everyone else was in a quad, and they were waaaay ahead of us and the single.
Later, got a few thousand extra recreational steps in wandering around local food truck (etc.) festival in a little town North of here. Also got in some delicious chickpea curry (with seasoned rice, carrot salad, raita) and a frozen vanilla coconut milk bar with coconut-oil based chocolate chunks and sunflower seeds. Yum!
Perfect weather, sunny, 70s F.5 -
After 10 hours in the car and a huge pizza for dinner, I decided to try and get a workout in at the hotel gym before bed.
- 1km on the treadmill at 7.6kph
- 10 min rowing
Probably didn't have enough time to digest, but it was already 22.45PM so not much choice. I also struggled with the machines: the rowing machine was a concept 2 but the damper seemed broken, and the treadmill had so many bells and whistles but I only managed to turn it on and off and change the speed.5 -
Walking the dog (10 min), walking in the park (25 min), swimming at the local swimmin' hole (50 min).2

No specific exercise, but I pulled carpet, padding, base boards, tack strips to prep a bedroom for new flooring. After all that, I installed the vapor barrier and did half the laminate flooring. I will finish the laminate tomorrow, re-install the base boards and then put the furniture back in the room.
A busy weekend for me...4 -

A nice brisk walk from the house to the lake and back…4 -
Taking full advantage of the hotel gym (before traveling to the next cabin), I got up early this morning to do some strength training before breakfast.
I was taken aback a little by how crowded it was, 4 other people already working out. Instant reminder of why I have a home gym 😛
Despite feeling very self conscious, I did:
4 sets of barbell bench press
3 sets of leg press (fun! it's the one piece of equipment I actually miss at home, haven't used one in 13 years)
3 sets of lat pull-downs
3 sets of dumbbell rows
2 sets of weighted hyperextensions
I might have overdone it a little, trying to compensate for not having done strength training since September 10th, I will definitely be very sore!4 -

Been to the coast twice in the last few months and both times I used the hotel gym it was all to myself. Ha ha. I guess Friday and Saturday nights not typical for folks to be working out when they’re supposed to be vacationing and doing the usual eating and drinking…. Probably pandemic 😷 has a little something to do with it.. I have a home gym and was a bit apprehensive so it was fun..4 -

Well, this was the fourth hotel gym workout of this trip and only the first where I didn't have the gym to myself, I guess I can't complain 😁3 -
Easy Sunday over and done with… am hopeful I can at least get 1 mile under 9 mins in the next few months…. Homemade Americano ☕️ coming up.. you all have a good rest of your weekend.4 -
Did an easier bike ride this morning. Tapering plan called for 2:20:00 at a steady aerobic pace.
Five of us rode a scenic, shorter and flatter route, covering 41miles. With only 1660ft of climbing, the 16mph pace turned it into a fun social ride.
Will get in an open water swim tomorrow morning before work.

I am at my parents' house for a bit. They are vulnerable, so I am isolating and my workout options are more limited than normal.
Today, I did a 12 mile walk and had a go on a portable hangboard.6 -
30 minutes on rower, then 25 on the Assault Bike. Might finally have the new Tickr Fit (HRM) set up correctly. Not as accurate as a chest strap, which I expected, but this AM's row was utterly useless. Didn't pick up the entire row.4

Today was a 5.14 mile hike in the Colorado foothills at about 7,400ft. The elevation gain was around 820ft. Half of the hike is on a service road and the other half on rocky trails. It's beautiful and was a fabulous day to hike. I need to stop less than in the past, other than for bikers and trail runners, and my average pace is coming down. Today was a 32.06 minute mile average.5

Today I picked a random calorie burn goal. 1000 is a nice round number. I picked one workout for each muscle group and grabbed my spin bike. 10 minute spin, 10 reps for each workout with no rest and repeat until you burn 1000 calories.2

yesterday: treadmill twice (21 min walk & 14 min walk)
today: treadmill (35 min walk)
