Total - 10:08:00


How to achieve world class fitness!!

Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat. Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast. Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense. Regularly learn and play new sports.

Swim Day

Well school is going well and I'm finding that I have time in the afternoon for my workouts. Today I stopped at a bicycle store call "The Bicyclery". The owner Tom was very helpful in helping me find a good place to swim and putting me in touch with another store that caters to triathletes. I was originally going to workout with a masters club at the North Palm Beach CC. Yeah I was thinking the same thing.....me and a bunch of CC types in the same pool. Not my style...hehe.

So I found a nice outdoor pool near my hotel. It's a 25 meter pool and perfect for my workouts. I'm going to eventually go over to the ocean and do some open water swims. The only problem with that is the man in the grey suit is cruising the beach this time of year. Plus I'd like to have a wetsuit since the water temp here is about 73 degrees.

Today I did a repeat of yesterday, minus the crossfit workout. I did the swim version of 3 x 5 minute with 2 minute rest between events. Here are my distances: 1 - 300m, 2 - 250m, 3 - 300m. I'm not really sure what happened on that second round. I did enjoy the swim and pool so I'll be doing most of my swims there.

Life is good!
