My workout was a lot of different things yesterday,
I woke up and did 50 crunches
and then I didn't work out all morning
Later in the afternoon I went out on the trampoline for close to 30 minutes
afterwards went out front to shoot some hoops (actually burns calories, surprising right?!)
Later went on a 10 minute bike ride to some hiking trails
Hiked for 40 minutes
30 jump squats
Biked 20 minutes home (took the long way)
did 20 minute HIIT exercise
50 crunches
10 minutes run
10 minute walk
50 crunches
And that's all I got done!
Fairly good I would think, though you can always do more right?!
Its pretty early today, so I haven't done much exercise
50 crunches and that's it.

Rest day on Monday.
Traded my normal bike trainer workout for an outdoor group spin class taught by a friend this morning.
60 minutes of sweaty fun.2 -
My fave class Bodypump!! think im addicted! lol2

No formal exercise (weird stuff happened today, nothing major, just unusual contingencies that threw me off routine).
Went over this evening and helped with the learn to row class, so some boat carrying, a little rowing, mostly just setting up (stabilizing) a double from bow while one of the beginners rowed, me occasionally stopping her so I could row us back on course (newbies pretty much never row straight!) or to demonstrate something, plus I did the "parking" at the end. Trivial, work-out-wise, but fun. I like working with the new rowers.1 -
Monday
I went for a climb. I wasn't massively in-form, but I wasn't terrible either. I got one new hard route, and repeated a lot of previous harder routes.
Amazingly, I got a double dyno move to work. I fell off later on, but I rarely get the jumps to work, so it was very fun to to that.
Tuesday
I did some light benching over lunch, doing 3 sets of 5, 55 kgs.
I got a decent evening walk in, ending the day on 25,000 steps, which is good for a work-day.2 -
Swim session this am. 2300yds. Started with warmup and drill work (pull, kick, etc) then 12x50 building in groups of 4 (1easy, 2mod, 3 tempo, 4 fast) finished with 500 endurance pace and cooldown.2
-
Boot camp - most like a walk in the evening2
-
One hour of Steady State work -- 25 on the rower until it got too hot to tolerate and then 35 on the Assault Bike inside with the A/C.
If I continue to row outside, will likely have to be early AM now. We are expecting 110 by this weekend.0 -
* Rowed bow in a quad, with a new club member - statuesque current collegiate rower, in town for the summer, usually a sweep rower (one oar per person) - sitting stroke seat with us in a sculling shell (2 oars per person). She has to be 6' or thereabouts tall, and is super nice, strong rower, set us a good cadence. Rest of the boat, 3 of us: Tallest 5'6", youngest 61. 😆 One fun thing about rowing, especially sculling, is that rowers of *vastly* different strength can row together happily, as long as they can agree on a stroke rating (spm), and all have reasonably adequate technique. It was very fun, and I think she had fun, too.
* Walked 5.03 miles in humid heat, really slowly (< 3mph), and took a break for cannoli gelato at the turnaround point, which was refreshing.
* Did 42' strength training.2 -

@amorfati601070 wowwww look at your pace?? I’m still working to get under 7:00/km 😅😅 I’m impressed1
-
I went for a 3.5km run and went paddleboarding for an hour 🙂2

Boot camp involving sprints, pushups and whole lot of pain... evening badminton3
-
5K on the patio (my last week likely for a while -- pool reno starts next week). Was 101 degrees at lunch. HR got a bit high for SS (steady state) work, but understandable for the heat. Did 20 minutes after on the LateralX (an elliptical on steroids that moves laterally like you're speed skating or something).
Golf this evening. Going to be a hot one. Might have to take off from golf next week depending on the temps.2 -
10k run, 30 min Kickr indoor bike ride on Zwift and then ‘yoga for runners’ on YouTube.2

Threatening thunderstorms this afternoon, so I didn't get in a bike ride, but did a stationary bike workout later, structured as an imaginary 10k main piece, 3' slow cool down after, and decided to do a gradual build in the 10k to a little bit of mild intensity. When I looked at the workout in Connect, I was amused to see that without intent, it ended up being very nearly evenly split between Z2, Z3, Z4. 😆
I also helped out with learn to row class at the rowing club again, same deal as Tuesday, mostly setting up (stabilizing) my double so the new learner could row without worrying as much about balance. This is what that process looked like on Tuesday, with me in the orange in bow, and a learner in stroke (edited to anonymize her since she didn't volunteer to be publicly posted).
As always, there was some boat carrying and stuff, the whole not adding up to a workout in my terms, but a fun active thing nonetheless.4 -

Wednesday
I went for a climb. I was in reasonable form, and got two of my projects.
At this gym, before lockdown I used to be able to one of two of the v3s. Now I seem to be able to get about half of them, I think the route setting must have got easier.
Thursday
Day off, although I got a decent walk in, ending on 16,000 steps.2 -
@AnnPT77 -- looks lovely and like a workout too! I hope to go up to Tempe next year and learn outdoor rowing. They have a four day clinic on basics. Tempe isn't close to me (around 90 minutes), and their venue isn't a greates -- I live in the desert -- but they do have two rowing clubs there.
On an aside, after playing one full round of 18 and seven 9 hole rounds, I'm starting to feel like a golfer. I had my first legit birdie last night and putted for an Eagle that I barely missed on a long par five. Hit a great drive, then drove it over water with a five iron to the back edge of the green and barely missed a 10 foot put for Eagle. And I finally broke 50 for 9 holes. At my best (35 years ago is the last time I played golf), I was only a low 90s golfer. I'm getting close to that again now playing weekly. If you can stand the heat in AZ during the Summer, rates are dirt cheap to play golf at some amazing courses.
My wife and daughter got caught up at the hair salon and called off golf last minute and I ended up playing with my daughter's partner, who is a very good golfer. The two guys we played against were also fantastic golfers. Yet, I held my own against all of them and even won a few holes, which felt great. Made me forget about nearly hitting a house early on! We have very narrow fairways in AZ because that limits water consumption. We ended up 3rd place on the night, though it's a handicap league, but we were still pretty happy with that.
Nothing like the Midwest where you can miss the fairway and be OK. You are not OK if you miss -- usually in a cactus, water or a gravelly sand trap. And you don't want to go deep to find your ball because there are rattlers in the Summer all over.
All the "functional fitness" workouts, lifts and Yoga that I do are really helping me with my ability to not only enjoy golf, but have some nice power as well, especially for my age.3 -
@AnnPT77 - What a beautiful setting! Easy to see why you enjoy it.
@MikePfirrman - Kudos on the renewed golf game. Its satisfying when you play well.
My boys are fairly good players, but I gave it up years ago in frustration. Maybe when I'm older and more patient.
Not really setting the world on fire this week. Tues/Wed workouts were fine, but I was "off" yesterday during my run. Actually pulled the plug 45 minutes into a 60 minute run. Today's swim was not great, but ok. 2800 yd session including various 500's focused on endurance and some building speed. Managed to get 2500 in before running out of time.
Tomorrow's bike/run will be fun. Looks like 7-8 of us will meet for a group ride. I'll see how many I can drag along for a transition run when we finish the bike.3 -
@Djproulx -- what date is your race? I hope you get good weather for it. I know it's been really unseasonably warm. Hard to train in that anytime. Golf is a game of patience and temperament. To be honest, I think I took seven strokes off my prior best mainly because I wasn't chasing my wife's errant shots all over the course. That takes a toll on your game (though I would never say that to her!). Golf is also a hard sport to squeak in when you're training for triathlons! You simply have different priorities and golf really takes consistent play not to hate it.
Speaking of heat, it was 92 in my gym garage today. My wife had a doctor appointment and brought the hot car back into the garage right before my workout, which certainly didn't help. Did my 8 set superset lift and then, instead of rowing in the heat (I think I wouldn't have made it through), I did 5 X 5 minutes, w/ 1 rest, on the LateralX and Assault Bike. As hard as I could. First four sets around 85% of max HR and last one 90% of max.
After the heat of the lifting I couldn't manage any more than that. Plus, it's hard getting to 90% max on the LateralX, which is just a glorified elliptical. Even at the widest setting on highest resistance, I have a hard time hitting over 85% max HR on that. Assault Bike @ around 240 sustained Watts for the five minute sets.1 -
Walkwd almost 10km today.5

Strong Lifts 5x5

Bench Press 60lb
Bent Over Rows 85lb

Quick dip in the pool before the rain started 🥵3 -
* Rowed bow in the quad, 8.6km. (We did an extra loop because we were way faster than the 2 singles out with us today, and I don't like to get too far away from them, for safety purposes.)
* Walked 5.2 miles on the park trail not far from the rowing club, slowly again, 3.1mph average.
It was sunny, hot (high 80s to over 90 F) and steamy-humid . . . not sure how humid then, but it was 80-90%+ later in the day. I felt pretty drained after the row, but went for the walk anyway. I don't handle heat well. I was doing route-mile math in my head to test myself, and competence was declining, though I did drink water, eat a salty snack. I sweat like I was melting, always, but with the high humidity and hardly any wind, it doesn't have a lot of utility. 🤷♀️ Working on acclimatization.3 -
@MikePfirrman - 8 days to race day, June 19th. Last time I did the Patriot 70.3 was in 2017 and it was in the low 90s on the run course. Current long range forecast this year is for temps in the 80s. My "A" race is in September. Ironman Chattanooga can be a hot, humid race. I'll train in the heat this summer to prepare.
I agree that golf requires more time than I can give it right now, but that's ok. I'll just fish on my rest days.

Lovely 10k run around my small town in Scotland. A bit windy but lovely to be out running.4
