What Was Your Work Out Today?

* 6942m rowing bow in the double, finally back on the water. Bladework needs help, but that's normal. Also need to recalibrate my intuition about when to call 'hold water port' to spin, when traveling at X speed in Y wind conditions to get the longest reasonable bridge-to-bridge row without risking hitting or drifting into concrete bridge supports, plus remember how to park a 30' shell. 😆
* 5.03mi walk at 3.5mph, really slow. Not sure why: Legs tired from the row, or me tired from a terrible night's sleep? 🤷♀️ No matter, got it done.
* 23' mostly upper body supersets, same nonsense as usual, just rushed through it.
No yoga/stretch, but may do a bit before bed. I felt creaky getting into the boat (it's a sort of one-legged low squat kind of maneuver).2 -
Monday
I felt terrible - I think I ate something that disagreed with me. I still managed a reasonable length walk - I've got over 10,000 steps every day since 3 days after my heart surgery. (According to the release letter, I wasn't allowed to walk long distance immediately afterwards. After three days, I was allowed to "mobilise", whatever that means.)
Tuesday
I worked bonkers hours, which was a bit annoying. So I did some slow sprints in the evening.
Wednesday
Climbing! This followed the same pattern as Sunday. I was terrible for a while, then eventually I started to send stuff. I got a balance-y V3 on slab I'd failed on the previous session, for example. It took me 8 goes this time - the trick was to move very slowly to the final hold. It was a terrifying move, so I tried doing it too quickly on the fails. It was actually quite easy once I'd worked out how to do it.2 -
Walked around my apartment and got some steps in. Different workout today from my regular HIIT strength and dancing.2

Did a shortened 45 minute workout yesterday. 30 on the rowing machine and like 20 or less on the AD Pro Bike. Not sure, as a Handyman said he'd get here at 2 and got there right during the end of my workout, so I had to cut it short.

An hour easy cardio. Boy, getting hot already in Tucson. 93 degrees outside today during my 30 minute row. 30 minutes after that (inside in the A/C) on the LateralX. All under 73% max.
Golf this evening -- supposed to hit 98 degrees so taking my electrolytes!2 -
Upper body. Will be sitting for at least 12+ hours tomorrow between class and driving so sad 2

Feeling fatigue-y, slacking off a little. (Not sure why, but sleep has been crummy trying to switch to getting up earlier, in order to row on water, so it might be that.)
Took an extra rest day yesterday, just 40' of yoga - stretch - foam roll.
Today, rowed bow in the double, 6873m. Threatening storm, so won't walk today - tomorrow looks more promising.
May do something else later today (lift or yoga/stretch or both), or may not. On the water again tomorrow, if the good forecast plays out.
Need to find my rhythm/routine, for on-water season. It'll come. Always has.1 -

Smart to listen to your body. Glad you're back at what you love this year!
Did 30 minutes of supersetting again (starting to get in a groove with weight lifting) and then 3 X 5 minutes on the rower as fast as sustainable. Would have done four sets but pressed for time (and I was dying,

Leg day followed by 4 hours of driving, a 3 hour online academic class, and watching a graduation. Tons of sitting today but I wanted to get legs in2

Switched it up by doing my long run & swim today, so I can join a friend for a long bike tomorrow.
Started the day with a 1:40:00 Run. Easy paced run on local roads on bike trail. Went just over 9 miles, bumping into several of my tri club pals who were also getting some miles in. Swim was 2200yds in the pool, focused on controlling pace. After warmup and drill set, the main set was 5 x200's.
Looking forward to suffering on the bike tomorrow with my training partner.

Friday
I got 23,000 steps in, which is not bad for a work day. I also played with kettlebells, doing:
3 sets of 5, goblet squat, 32 kgs
1 set of 5 (both left and right), Turkish get-up, 16 kgs.
10 sets of 10 swings, 24 kgs.

A 90 minute climb. I was unexpectedly on very good form, and I sent stacks of long term projects I had struggled with before.
