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.

I'm back in the 757 area code once again. I didn't waste anytime getting back to working out here. Today when I finially got out of bed and going I headed over to Lake Christopher for a little swim. I thought I could squeak a few extra yards out of my normal swim but it ended up only being 1/10 further than my normal swim. So I got .98 miles out of the swim. I'm going to have to criss cross the lake a few times to get more mileage out of that little lake. My time today was :27:14 which was 1 minute faster than my last swim around the lake.

After the swim I got some coffee and headed home to eat and unpack my stuff. Once I had that taken care of I got on my bike and headed out for a crossfit endurance ride. I did a 20 min warmup before the workout and a 20 min cooldown after the workout. Here is the workout with the stats. 1 min on, 1 min off, 1 min on, 50 sec off, 1 min on, 40 sec off, 1 min on, 30 sec off, 1 min on, 20 sec off, 1 min on, 10 sec off, 1 min on, 20 sec off, back to 1 min on, 50 sec off, 1 min on, finished. Total speed work time was 11 mins with a distance of 3.98 miles. Each event was done at best possible pace.

Have a good day!
