Day 18 EPIC I (full body workout - dumbbell complex)3
-
No exercise, but if heart rate really measured calorie burn, I'd have burned about a thousand.
What I thought I was doing tonight: Supervising open rowing at my club, very humdrum.
What I actually did: Coxed a novice men's eight practice for the university rowing club (so 18-19 year old guys who just started rowing since school started this Fall). Scary (definite heart rate increase! 😉), but fun. I haven't coxed anything in a couple of years, haven't coxed a sweep boat (one oar per person, trust me, it's different from sculling, the thing I usually do) in quite a few years, maybe 5? No cox box (amplifies the cox's voice to speakers in the boat), so I was shouting down the length of the 60' boat over the sound of rowing. Heh.
We didn't hit anything (cox's job 1 is steering), so all is well.6 -
Late night last night and late beginning to today this morning. . . .I get frustrated with myself for throwing myself "off routine"....
but, I still made the effort to MOVE:
Today was another session with the Fabulous Team Body Project -- one of my favorites since I first pressed pay on it: Totally Triple
I insist on not only returning to my routine, but making it better and rising stronger and more dedicated than I ever have been before. I know discipline wins when motivation runs dry. I know I am disciplined.
I will tell myself every time until I really believe it and consistently live it.5 -

I will tell myself every time until I really believe it and consistently live it.
I really like this and believe it to be true. Motivation comes and goes for all of us. I believe the real key is that discipline applied over time leads to habit formation. In my experience, once exercise and/or dietary habits have been formed, things become almost automatic and success follows.
I'm 10 days removed from my last race and have only had deep tissue work done during this time. I've also ended my formal coached training program and will start casual cycling tomorrow. Looking forward to non triathlon activities, less structured workouts and more structured food intake. I certainly I can't keep eating at the volume I was during the training build, lol.

Wanted to get one of my two timed tests (for my indoor rowing club) done today. The "Rugby Test" -- some brutal row that some sadist thought out. 1K, 3 minutes rest, 750m, 2:30 rest, 500m, 2 rest, 250, 2 rest and then 750m, which just destroys you like a cruel joke.
Last time I did it, I average 1:56.6 two years ago. Today was 2:00.3. Wanted to do sub 2:00 pace but just died on that last 750m. Higher drag factor than normal, so that might have contributed a bit.
Gym tonight.2 -
I have stayed reasonably active for my time in Norwich, relying on walking, hangboarding, kettlebells and the odd run. (I'm staying out of gyms in a vague attempt at self isolation to protect Mum.) My logging here has missed quite a few sessions, though.
My average step count over the last week has been 25,000 per day. Yesterday was kettle bell(24 kgs, swings and get ups), hangboarding and 33,000 steps. Today has just been kettle bells so far.3 -
Yoga and some WIMHOF breath work...
2 -
Pull Day... pullups, pulldowns, cable rows, shrugs, preacher curls2
-
Back on the bike today - 19.5 miles @ 13.7 mph average.
Yesterday was a bike rest day, but I did get in several sets of lunges and push-ups to get some exercise in for the day.1 -
Ran a 10K...3
-
After yesterday's disappointing time on my timed row, I decided I really need to get back more to controlled work on my easy days. Did a nice and slow 11K on the rower on the deck today. Was pleasant outside with a breeze.
HR never got above 70% of max, which is what I strive to do. Very hard for me to do that on anything over 6K, but I went out really slow and controlled, which I think made all the difference.
Taking off tomorrow. Have to drive down to Mexico for some dental work. They have state of the art clinics right across the border for like 1/3 of the price of American dentistry. Most Tucson people go there for their dental work. You just park, walk across the border and it's right there. I also enjoy the shops there, so I'll do some walking around.2 -
Yoga and a 45 minute walk3
-
Quite a busy day today: dentist then work till nearly 7PM.
While BF prepared dinner, I went for a run: 4.5km in 34 minutes. It didn't go very well, my legs weren't cooperating very well, but instead of aborting, I threw in some walking intervals.3 -
About 7500m rowing bow in the double, very low energy (slept like &%*#), skipped the usual walk after, subsequently home being a bump on a log. Pfizer vax #3 tomorrow (I'm 65), so we'll see how I feel after, may or may not work out.3

Splitting wood for 2 hours with an 8lb splitting maul.3

Day 21 EPIC I (leg workout - dumbbell complexes)4
-
First real exercise in ten days. Took my bike outside for an hour spin along the river. About 15 miles of no heavy work, just smooth pedaling. Felt pretty good.3
