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 -
Splitting and stacking firewood
Weeding the garden4 -
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)
